Release v2.17.1 · Kizarov3/CDPlayer

What's new

AUTOMIX. Settings → TRANSITION → AUTOMIX: when the queue moves on to a song that isn't its album's next — shuffle, another album, the changer's next disc — the next song comes in where this one winds down, instead of after its silence. No beat matching, no jumps in loudness. An album played in order stays gapless. Off until you pick it.
A display like a CD deck's. Under the seek bar, a dark front-panel window: the track number and time in glowing seven-segment digits, TOTAL above, PLAY / PAUSE / SHUFFLE / REPEAT lit between. Click the time to count down what's left. It comes along into CD VIEW too. Settings → LOOK → DISPLAY → CLASSIC brings back the plain times.
Several music folders. FOLDER… → ADD ANOTHER FOLDER… puts one more on the shelf — an external drive, say, which stays on the list unplugged and comes back when plugged in. Opening a song from Downloads no longer swaps the whole shelf.
Sleep at the end of the disc. The sleep timer can stop once the album playing has ended, instead of running on into the next.
LAST PLAYED and HISTORY by day. The shelf sorts by what you played latest, a divider for each month; the history groups songs under TODAY, YESTERDAY and each day before.

New

Settings → TRANSITION: OFF (gapless, the default), AUTOMIX or CROSSFADE, picked from one menu; CROSSFADE's length (1–15 s) shows only with it and is kept while another is picked
AUTOMIX: each song's start, wind-down and end are measured once and kept; the next song comes in at -10 dB rising over 3 s where the ending has died away for good (not over its last words, nor in a silence before a coda); a song that stops dead keeps its last hit; applies to the queue, shuffle and the changer's next disc
The deck's display under the seek bar, and in CD VIEW under the album's name; Settings → LOOK → DISPLAY: DECK or CLASSIC
Several music folders on the shelf; the search, the phone, LIBRARY CHECK and the watch for changes read them all; a rip goes into the first
Sleep timer …OR AT THE END OF THE DISC (SLEEP · END OF DISC in the top bar until it's done or clicked off)
Shelf SORT opens a list of every way to sort; SORT → LAST PLAYED, on the phone's shelf too
HISTORY by day, with the time each song was last played, 200 songs instead of 50
Settings → HELP → WHAT'S NEW: every version's changes, newest first
⌘/Ctrl+O opens songs and ⌘/Ctrl+, the settings

Fixed

Two songs overlapping (AUTOMIX or CROSSFADE) no longer clip: a soft guard bends only what goes above 0.9 while they overlap
The index down the shelf's side answers on a shelf that fits the screen (it only scrolled before, so a click seemed to do nothing)
The times and the queue's durations keep their digits the same width, so they don't shift as they count

Changed

The disc's case is a lit pane, not a red outline that read as selected; PLAY is one colour lit along its top; the status is a sunk-in pill
The keys along the bottom of the window stay until five of them have been used; then only ? ALL KEYS is left
macOS: the disc check reads /Volumes and runs mount only when it changed or half a minute has passed; behind other windows with the music paused the player draws 10 frames a second instead of 30
