Psysonic v1.52.0-rc.1

Added

Scrobbling — configurable threshold and force scrobble

By @JayDawgThaGOAT, PR #1425

• Settings → Integrations → Music Network now has a 25–90% scrobble threshold (default remains 50%).
• Advanced settings can show a Force scrobble action in the player bar and fullscreen player. It shows listening progress and can immediately submit the current track to the media server and every enabled Music Network destination.

Full names on hover, wherever a card cuts one off

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1433

• Hovering a card whose title or artist is too long to fit now shows the complete text. Multi-disc releases carry the disc number at the end of the title, so it was exactly the part that got cut — telling disc 1 from disc 3 meant opening each album.
• Applies to album, artist, playlist, radio, song and offline cards, and only appears when the text is actually shortened, so nothing pops up where there is nothing to reveal.
• Can be turned off under Settings → Appearance → Display.
• Screen readers now announce album cards and the offline play button in the selected language; both were stuck on a German word regardless of the chosen language.

Table view for the album catalogue pages

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1435

• All Albums, New Releases and Lossless can switch between the card grid and a table. The choice is remembered per page, so one catalogue can stay a table while another stays a grid.
• The table lists cover, title, artist, song count, year, duration and the date an album was added, and drops columns from the right as the space narrows. Title and year sort from the column headers.
• Song count, duration and the added date now reach every album browse surface, including filtered views and the lossless catalogue, where one or the other used to be blank.
• Albums added in the last two days show the new-release ribbon on the All Albums grid as well, not only under New Releases.

Telling your own playlists apart from shared ones

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1454

• A server hands over your own playlists together with every public playlist of everyone else on it, all in one undivided list. The Playlists page can now separate them into your own, the ones you share, and the ones other people share with you.
• The switch only appears once something on the server is actually shared, and it works alongside the folder view and the search box instead of replacing either.
• Your playlists are now recognised as yours no matter how the username was capitalised when the server profile was created. A mismatch there previously also left the delete button greyed out on your own playlists.

Playlist covers in the sidebar, and a sortable playlist list

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1455

• The sidebar playlist list shows each playlist's cover and how many songs it holds. Playlists without their own cover keep the plain list icon.
• The list can be ordered by name, by when a playlist was created, or by how many songs it has. The setting is remembered and applies to the sidebar and the Playlists page alike — the page had no ordering of its own until now.
• The personal / shared split from the previous entry now applies to the sidebar list as well.

Offline downloads — resume interruptions and survive slow servers

By @cucadmuh, issue reported by @jsongerber, PR #1457

• Original-quality offline downloads no longer fail just because the whole transfer takes more than two minutes. The timeout now measures stalled reads, so a slow server can keep sending for as long as data continues to arrive.
• Interrupted downloads can resume from a verified partial file instead of starting over. Changed or unsafe server responses discard the partial cleanly, while cancellation, disk-space reservations and concurrent download attempts no longer race the final file.
• Album, artist, playlist and favourites pins now keep every owner, survive restarts and server-address migrations, and do not return after the user cancels them.

Every track an artist performs on

By @Psychotoxical, suggested by MrMiniblock, PR #1458

• An artist page showed five popular tracks and offered no way to reach the rest. It now has two tabs: the familiar ranking, and the complete list of everything that artist performs on — their own records as well as the compilations and guest appearances they turn up on.
• The full list is ordered by album, disc and track number, and can be sorted by any column. Which columns are shown is up to you: title, album and duration to begin with, and artist, genre, year, format, plays, last played and BPM available from the column menu.
• It is loaded the moment you open the tab, straight from the local index, so the artist page itself stays as quick to open as before.

Navidrome ID upgrades keep local libraries intact

By @cucadmuh, PR #1464

• When a future Navidrome release switches albums, artists and tracks to canonical IDs, Psysonic pauses startup while it safely updates the local library, analysis results, offline downloads, cached covers and saved app state, then verifies everything with a full sync.
• The migration resumes after an interruption and protects normal playback, sync, imports and background work from seeing a half-converted library. Navidrome 0.63.2 and older servers, and other Subsonic servers, continue without migration.

Ukrainian translation

By @albedych, PR #1465

• Full Ukrainian (Українська) UI translation — selectable from the language picker on the Settings and Login screens.
• Counts read naturally in Ukrainian: the one, few and many plural forms are all translated, so quantities such as 1, 2 and 5 items no longer fall back to English.
• Library identity keys now fold Ukrainian Cyrillic (ї → і) the way Russian and Bulgarian already do, so the same release still merges into a single entry across servers. The keys are rebuilt once after updating, which takes a few seconds on a large library.

Changed

Rust internals — smaller focused modules with the same behaviour

By @cucadmuh, PR #1430

• Large analysis, audio, library, sync, cache, integration, CLI and startup modules are split into focused child modules behind the same public APIs and Tauri command/event contracts. Hand-written Rust files above 600 lines drop from 61 to 5 without an intended user-visible change.
• Hot-path coverage follows the extracted implementation files, including Discord presence URL safety and text helpers. Comparable runtime benchmarks plus Linux and Windows CI found no reproducible behaviour or performance regression.

Windows update notices arrive hours after a release instead of days

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1440

• On Windows the update notice is held back until WinGet has had time to moderate a new release, so it never points at a version winget upgrade cannot install yet. That wait was set to two days before any real timings were available.
• Recent releases cleared WinGet moderation in one to two hours, so the wait is now twelve hours. Windows users see a new version roughly a day and a half sooner, with room left for a slower submission.

Fixed

Albums no longer start dragging on their own

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1437

• Holding the mouse button on an album while the list changed underneath — switching between grid and table, or a refresh arriving — could leave a drag primed. The next mouse movement anywhere then picked up that album, long after the pointer had moved on.

Synced lyrics keep up with the music

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1442

• Lines could light up close to a second after they were sung, and inconsistently so — some on time, others noticeably behind. The player only learned the playback position about once per second, which is imperceptible on a clock but not in lyrics, so the position is now followed continuously between those updates.
• The fullscreen rail was worst affected, because it picked its line from an even coarser signal than its own word highlighting used. Every lyrics view now reads the same position, including after seeking to a line while paused.

Live Search no longer shows the same result twice

By @cucadmuh, reported by HiveMind on the Psysonic Discord, PR #1448

• Artists, albums and songs could each appear twice when the local index and the server response used different forms of the same server identity. Live Search now aligns that identity before combining the results, while still keeping genuinely separate matches from different servers.

Navidrome multi-artist credits survive background sync

By @devyeah1978, PR #1449

• Navidrome delta updates no longer collapse structured track and album artist credits into one comma-joined artist. Current native credits replace stale names while richer OpenSubsonic artist references remain intact when the native response omits them.

Linux shortcuts work immediately after returning to the app

By @cucadmuh, issue reported by HiveMind on the Psysonic Discord, PR #1450

• Linux/KDE Plasma: Alt+Tab could return to Psysonic while leaving its webview without keyboard focus, so Space, F11 and other in-app shortcuts did nothing until the window was clicked. Psysonic now restores keyboard focus as soon as the native window is reactivated.

Drags no longer start on their own when a press goes nowhere

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1456

• Albums were fixed above; the same problem sat in every other place a track can be dragged from — the queue and the mini-player queue, playlists, favorites, search results, Random Mix and the song cards on Home. Holding the mouse button while the list changed underneath left a drag primed, and the next movement picked up a row that was no longer on screen.
• A press whose release never arrives now ends with whatever replaces it — the pointer leaving the window, the app losing focus, or the system taking the drag over — instead of waiting for a mouse-up that is never delivered.

Individual libraries can be selected again after updating

By @cucadmuh, issue reported by @tummydummy, PR #1459

• Updating from Psysonic 1.50 to 1.51 could leave the library selector stuck on All libraries: clicking an individual music folder closed the menu without changing the selection. Existing saved scope is now repaired during startup, and an empty scope restores the active server before saving a new choice.

Closing Psysonic cannot leave it hidden without a tray icon

By @cucadmuh, issue reported by @hello-foma, PR #1460

• Turning off Show Tray Icon now also turns off both tray-dependent settings. Minimize to Tray and Start Minimized to Tray stay unavailable until the tray icon is enabled again.
• Existing saved settings with the unsafe combination are repaired during startup, so closing the window exits instead of hiding Psysonic with no way to reopen it.

Analysed BPM appears consistently across tracklists

By @cucadmuh, PR #1461

• Album, artist, favourites and playlist tracklists now show and sort by the locally analysed BPM when it is available, instead of continuing to use the BPM embedded in the track tag.

Play counts and last played dates for tracks played in Psysonic

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1463

• Tracks played inside the app kept showing an empty play count and no last played date, even once the server had recorded the play.
• Root cause: the last played date was stored locally but never carried back into the track lists, and the play count was not written at all after a scrobble. Both now update as soon as a play is reported — the count is read back from the server that just accepted it, so it stays the same number the server shows and plays from other clients are never lost or double-counted.
• Native Navidrome connections read the wrong field for the last played date, so it never arrived at all; they now read the one the server actually sends, and tracks that were already stored without it show their date again without waiting for a resync.

Ukrainian settings notices no longer drop their warnings

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1467

• Nine settings descriptions in Ukrainian had been shortened to their first sentence, which silently removed the warnings the English text carries — that a settings backup stores passwords in plain text, that a Discord server cover exposes your server's public address, that external artwork is off by default and is provided by fanart.tv, and that playback-rate changes do not apply to radio, previews or Orbit.
• The missing sentences are back; the rest of the Ukrainian wording is unchanged.
• The README language list includes Ukrainian again.

The help page describes the app as it is today

By @Psychotoxical, PR #1468

• Three answers had stopped being true: the page still said only one server can be active at a time, it knew only gapless and crossfade without mentioning AutoDJ, and it sent people to a Settings → Queue tab that no longer exists to restrict auto-added tracks to a genre, which is no longer possible either.
• Nine topics that were never covered are now there: browsing several servers at once, the timeline queue view with Play from Here, capping the streaming bitrate per server address, the table view on the album pages, telling your own playlists from shared ones, the Composers page, the audio visualizer, the theme store and the background sources.
• All of it in every language the app ships in.
