Psysonic v1.34.8

[Psychotoxical]

Added

• Netease Cloud Music Lyrics (opt-in): Netease Cloud Music can now be enabled in Settings → General as a last-resort lyrics fallback. It only fires when neither the server nor LRCLIB return results — the existing lyrics chain is completely unaffected. Particularly useful for Asian and international music. Chinese metadata lines (作词/作曲/编曲 etc.) are automatically stripped from the LRC output.

• Navidrome AudioMuse-AI Integration (contributed by @cucadmuh, PR #147): Psysonic now supports AudioMuse-AI if it is active on the Navidrome server and uses it for Random Mix, Similar Artists, and Instant Mix. No configuration required — Psysonic keeps its existing behavior when AudioMuse is unavailable. Also includes an Instant Mix probe, ping identity, and improved UX for AudioMuse-specific actions.

• ICY metadata & AzuraCast radio (contributed by @sorensiimSalling, PR #146): Internet radio now displays live track metadata from ICY streams. AzuraCast stations are supported with extended now-playing information.

• Automatic audio device switching: Psysonic now detects newly connected or changed audio output devices and switches to them automatically — no app restart required.

Fixed

• Multi-artist tracks: Tracks with multiple artists (OpenSubsonic artists[] field, e.g. semicolon-separated entries) now display each artist individually. Artists with their own profile page are clickable links; artists without one appear as plain text. Separated by ·.

• Gapless + Preload Gate: The gapless chain and the preload gate now run on separate paths. Previously both could fire simultaneously, causing a brief black flash on track change.

• Replay Gain — missing album gain: When no album gain tag is present, Psysonic now correctly falls back to track gain instead of skipping gain correction entirely.

• Statistics — music library scope: Genre insights now respect the currently selected music library. Fetch results are cached to avoid redundant server requests. Playback durations are displayed in localized units.

• Russian locale: "Most Played" in the sidebar, home page, and page title now uses «Популярное».

Changed

• "Reset to defaults" buttons in Settings → Input are now styled as warning buttons (red border).
• Lyrics button removed from the player bar (redundant with the queue panel tab).
• Icons: Advanced search now uses the TextSearch icon; artist bio button now uses Highlighter.
• Album chip in the album detail header is now opaque across all themes.
• Hot Cache and Hi-Res Audio: Alpha badges removed — both features are production-ready.
• CPU optimisations: Next-track buffering and preload settings have been consolidated into a unified control.

Theme Fixes

• Middle Earth: Removed vertical stripe pattern from sidebar; improved queue artist contrast on hover; fixed album detail artist colour, bio text, and "Read more" link readability; "Next Tracks" divider label is now lighter.
• Toy Tale: Fixed sidebar section labels (System/Library), queue tab buttons (Lyrics/Queue), inactive artist text, and "Next Tracks" divider label — all were too dark to read.
• Tetrastack: Raised all purple and blue palette values (#a020f0 → #c070ff, #0060f0 → #4090ff); raised --text-muted from #3a3a6a to #7878b8 — affected settings descriptions, artist names in tracklists, and queue labels.
• Horde & Alliance: Removed repeating horizontal line pattern from sidebar.
