DJSync 1.4.0-rc.4

Pre-release 1.4.0-rc.4

What's new

• Fixes after the rc.3 tests.
• Watched folder: files dropped in it are imported again on Windows (the folder was compared as text and the watcher reset itself at every check).
• Soulseek: the State column shows what really happens (connecting, queued at the peer with your position, next peer, new search) instead of "Downloading 0 %"; when no spare peer is left, one new search is made before giving up with a clear message; a warning when no UPnP router answers (VPN, router setting) or when sharing is off; far fewer library lines in the logs.
• Real quality: tracks from YouTube (and the Opus signature) are capped at about 192; the quality table shows the measured bitrates.
• First launch: a YouTube quality step (M4A recommended, best stream with its size trade-off); startup windows open one after the other, and a new version is announced by a banner.
• Import from a link: real checkboxes (header box, Shift + click, Space), a visible Free Download button, record-label smart links (ffm.to, lnk.to…) no longer shown as free downloads, columns fitted to their content.
• High-quality search: faster (Internet Archive pages in parallel, results as each source answers), archive.org order and relevance kept.
• SoundCloud: clear messages for unreadable browser logins and private tracks, the stream is downloaded instead.
• Sidebar: when collapsed, laid out correctly at launch, rings no longer cut, one ring per activity; the activity card opens Downloads.

🙏 A huge thank you to Tazyh for helping with testing.

Download

Your computer	File
Windows 10 / 11	DJSync.exe
macOS 11+ (Apple silicon: M1, M2, M3…) — beta	DJSync-macOS.dmg
Linux x86-64 — beta	DJSync-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

Put it on your USB drive (or anywhere on the computer) and open it: nothing is installed on the
computer, your settings stay next to DJSync and are kept across updates.

• Windows: double-click DJSync.exe. SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher (unsigned app):
  More info ▸ Run anyway. The first launch takes a moment (DJSync prepares its files once).
• macOS: open the .dmg, drag DJSync onto your USB drive (Finder sidebar), open it from the drive.
  First time only (app not signed by Apple): System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Open Anyway.
• Linux: extract the DJSync folder to the drive and run DJSync/DJSync.

To update: from 1.2.0-rc.4, Settings ▸ DJSync ▸ Update does it in the app; otherwise replace DJSync with the new one. Close Rekordbox while DJSync writes to a library, and
keep a copy of your drive. SHA-256 checksums: the .sha256 files.
