Back to Windows πŸͺŸ

Beta 1 of V2023.10.0 is here! This update series is a continuation of the V2023.9.2 series.

Compared to V2023.9.2-beta1, this release introduces a brand-new Windows app! We've been hard at work this month creating a Windows version of Tagger using WinUI 3 and the WindowsAppSDK and we are very happy with it. We've worked out issues that we have had in the past with WinUI, i.e distributing the app via the Microsoft Store, and are able to publish an exe app installer just like traditional Windows applications! Try it out below :)

Besides WinUI, in this release we also changed the design of the MusicFileRow in which it will now show a file's front album art if available. We also fixed an issue where downloaded lyrics would sometimes contain HTML-encoded characters.

Full Changelog πŸ“ƒ

  • Tagger is now available for Windows using Windows App SDK and WinUI 3 (#349)
  • Added the option to use relative paths when creating a playlist. This means that Tagger also now supports opening playlists with relative paths (#332)
  • Tagger will now display front album art within a music file row itself if available
  • Tagger will now watch a music folder library for changes on disk and prompt the user to reload if necessary (#322 , #54)
  • Fixed an issue where downloaded lyrics would sometimes contain html encoded characters
  • Improved create playlist dialog ux (#332)
  • Updated translations (Thanks everyone on Weblate!)

Known Issues

There is a known issue with relative playlist support in that if you have a playlist with relative paths and add a new file to the playlist but with it's full path instead, all of the playlist's files will also be stored with their full paths instead. The same goes for a playlist with all full paths and you add a new file with its relative path. We are working on a fix for this issue by the next release.
