soulsync 2.8.1 — dev → main
a feature + reliability release. the headline is export a mirrored playlist back to Spotify or Deezer — same one-click flow as the listenbrainz export, now pointed at the streaming services. plus a rename-only mode for Library Reorganize, broader lossless handling, a pile of download fixes, and the reduce-visual-effects pass refined so it stops freezing functional motion.
what's new
🎧 Export playlists to Spotify & Deezer (#945)
the mirrored-playlist export modal now has Sync to Spotify and Sync to Deezer next to the listenbrainz / jspf options. it builds a playlist in your account from the tracks soulsync already has the service IDs for:
- resolves each track from what's already on hand first — the discovery cache, then your library's stored IDs — so for an already-discovered playlist it's instant and uses zero API calls
- re-exporting updates the same playlist in place instead of spawning duplicates
- an optional "match missing tracks" toggle does a confident live search for the stragglers — and only adds a match it's sure about (a wrong-artist or karaoke version is left out, never guessed)
- service buttons grey out + point you to Settings when that service isn't connected
- spotify needs a one-time reconnect to grant playlist-write access
🏷️ Library Reorganize — Rename only (#875)
a lighter reorganize action: it just renames your files to your current naming scheme — no re-tagging, no quality/AcoustID re-check, no copy-to-staging. much faster on a NAS, won't fail on post-processing reasons, and only touches files whose path actually changes (which also fixes the "2 of 14 previewed but everything got modified" album-splitting). pick it from the new Action dropdown in the reorganize modal.
💿 Lossless handling
- lossy-copy now works for all lossless formats, not just FLAC (#941)
- DSD (
.dsf/.dff) is recognized as lossless and no longer false-flagged as "truncated" (#939)
🐛 Download + search fixes
- a download with an unbalanced bracket in its name no longer false-fails as "file not found"
- a file we couldn't quarantine is left in place for retry instead of deleted
- the Identify search for single imports defaults to "artist - title" (with the dash)
- "file not found" failures now say what actually happened instead of an opaque error
- pasted Qobuz/Tidal links inject the exact track into manual search instead of hoping text-search surfaces it (#932)
- the Wing It pool "Fix Match" search works again (it was returning "no results" for everything)
⚡ Visual effects + scan reliability
- Reduce visual effects no longer freezes functional motion (spinners, progress) — it only kills the expensive GPU stuff (blur, shadows, glow)
- worker orbs default OFF on Firefox for new users, and run at ~30fps under reduce-effects
- jellyfin library scans page the bulk fetch so the no-progress watchdog can't false-stall a big library
🔧 Under the hood
- settings page cleanup (#943 — thanks @nick2000713)
- spotify oauth credential normalization + redirect-uri handling (#942 — thanks HellRa1SeR)
- security: npm audit fixes for vite / undici / @babel (#944 — thanks HellRa1SeR)
enjoy 🎶
