v1.1.0 — music player, downloader fixes, motion polish

Mixtape is now a full music player and downloader.

New: the player (DECK tab)

• Library of everything on your phone, with search, sort, and Tracks / Artists / Albums views.
• Persistent mini-player and a full Now Playing screen: a cassette whose reels spin up and down with the music, a segmented seek bar, shuffle, repeat, speed, sleep timer, and a reorderable queue.
• Background playback with lock-screen, notification and Bluetooth controls; the queue survives a process kill.
• PLAY button on finished downloads; a "tapes ready" prompt when a download completes.

Downloader (DUB tab) fixes

• Settings sheet actually opens; Wi-Fi-only no longer wedges the queue after STOP ALL.
• Progress counts the tracks you selected, not the whole playlist.
• Share → Mixtape and YouTube links open straight into the app; paste button added.
• Already-downloaded tracks are detected and marked ON DEVICE; per-track retry; cancel a fetch in progress.
• Plain-language error messages, history delete/clear, state survives rotation, Back leaves History.
• 48dp touch targets, better contrast, tablet/landscape layout.

Motion

• Direction-aware tab transitions, mechanical key-press nav, animated mini-player and Now Playing, staggered library rows, stamp-slam on finished tracks, haptic ticks on the seek bar. Respects the system "remove animations" setting.

Heads up

• The player needs audio-read permission (READ_MEDIA_AUDIO); your own downloads still play without it.
• These APKs use a different debug signing key than earlier releases, so Android will refuse to update v1.0.0 in place. Uninstall the old build first (this clears the queue and history; files in Music/Mixtape normally stay).

Requires Android 10+. Grab Mixtape-v1.1.0-arm64.apk for most phones (or the universal APK for other devices).

v1.0.0 — Mixtape rebrand, Tape Deck UI + queue survival

Now called Mixtape (formerly MobileMus) — same app, new name and tape-deck look.

Queue survival

• The queue is persisted continuously: if the system kills the app mid-download,
  tracks come back as Paused and resume with one tap.
• A per-track watchdog fails hung downloads after 20 minutes instead of
  wedging the whole queue.

Parallel workers + settings console

• Downloads run through 1–4 concurrent workers, configurable in the new
  tape-styled settings sheet — which also shows the bundled yt-dlp version.
• Wi-Fi-only mode parks workers on metered networks and resumes automatically.

Playlist tools

• Filter field, sort by original order / title / length, one-tap retry failed.
• Session history: re-fetch any past playlist in one tap.

Tape Deck UI

• Fixed cream/ink/orange brand palette in light and dark, serif + mono type
  pairing bundled offline, hard-shadow chrome, animated reel and VU meters.

Requires Android 10+. Grab Mixtape-v1.0.0-arm64.apk for most phones
(or the universal APK for other devices).

v0.2.0 — choose your save location + UI refresh

New: custom save destination

• Tap the Saves to bar on the main screen to pick Music/ or Downloads/ and any subfolder — changes apply to subsequent downloads, persisted across restarts.

UI refresh

• Card-style track rows with video thumbnails, duration badges and animated selection
• Status pills (Queued / Tagging / Done / Failed), per-track progress bars
• Hero header with always-visible destination bar, snackbar feedback
• Refined empty state, indigo fallback themes for pre-Android-12 devices

Fix: a failed playlist fetch no longer leaves the loading spinner stuck.

v0.1.0 — first release

MobileMus v0.1.0 — on-device YouTube playlist → music downloader for Android.

Downloads

• MobileMus-v0.1.0-arm64.apk — modern phones (recommended)
• MobileMus-v0.1.0-universal.apk — all ABIs, larger

Highlights

• yt-dlp + ffmpeg run fully on-device; no server needed
• Fast flat-playlist fetch, per-track selection, sequential queue with progress
• m4a passthrough with embedded title/artist and cover art
• Saves via MediaStore to Music/MobileMus — appears in every player instantly
• In-app yt-dlp updater; Material You light/dark

Notes

• Some videos fail with HTTP 403 (YouTube SABR); retry or update yt-dlp in-app.
• Requires Android 10+. Debug-signed APK: sideload as usual.
