Releases: Taiko2k/Tauon
v7.0.1
v7.0.0
The radio UI update
This update features an overhauled internet radio UI. The interface has now become its own layout view rather than a overlay box. You can switch to it using the view switcher shown when clicking MENU.
Notable additions are the support for station thumbnail icons and support for multiple "Lists" (i.e playlists for radios). Also the process for adding and removing stations has been simplified. Another change is that recorded tracks are now imported to a playlist automatically.
Note: Any previous saved stations will be carried over, but they wont have thumbnails. You'll need to re-save the stations from the station browser to get thumbnails.
Note: The radio record setting has been moved to page 4 of Settings > Function.
Also added Gensokyo Radio to the list of supported stations with album art. You can find a list of these stations in Tauon by holding the shift key when viewing the station browser to reveal a secret button.
Quick tutorial
In the radio layout:
- Press ➕ to manually enter a new station from a raw URL.
- Press 🔍 to show the station browser where you can enter a search to a public database.
- Press ⭐ when shown to save the currently playing station to the current list.
- You can create radio lists using the top panel as you would with a normal playlist. Radio lists are only shown when in the radio layout.
- You can drag to re-arrange stations in the currently viewed list.
Known Issue: Sometimes starting a station fails and you need to restart Tauon before audio can be played again.
Other changes:
- Jellyfin server side love/unlove (favourite) is now supported.
Warning: Initial re-scan of Jellyfin library will cause local love on any Jellyfin tracks to be erased.
- Export and import of M3U playlists is now supported.
- Added new generator code
fsto find exact string segment matches.
Upgraders to v7.0.0 will notice a one off donation prompt. I really don't like adding nags/self-promotion, but I need to balance that with what's fair. Feel free to let me know what you think.
v6.8.3
v6.8.2
v6.8.1
Changes:
- Volume shortcut changed to Ctrl + Up / Down.
- Shift + Up / Down can now be used to create selections.
- "Open image" function now shows embedded images by extracting to a temporary location.
- [Phazor] Now uses high resolution output to get the most out of 24bit tracks. (I suggest using Pipewire as your system audio server to help ensure optimal quality)
- Various other tweaks and fixes.
v6.8.0
Welcome to v6.8.0! Here are the main changes in this release:
Warning: Once you upgrade to v6.8.0 you cannot downgrade to an earlier version without deleting the application save data.
Reloaded Feature: Shuffle Lockdown
Sometimes having too many options distracts you from your music. Shuffle lockdown helps to force to you explore your music library by removing many player controls. Give it a try, you might be surprised!
You can enter this mode from the shuffle button context menu.
More window control options
Controls can now appear on the left side. Tauon will apply the position based on system settings.
macOS style window controls can now be used. Hardcoded support for matching various themes is now possible too. Example: Dracula
Other changes
- Added the following shortcuts to global search results overlay:
- Add to queue (Alt + Q). (Track and album results only) (Bugged, will fix next release)
- Show only can now be triggered with Shift + Enter
- Improved macOS support. For building, see instructions here: #577.
- Various bug fixes

Other news
Snap users: I now consider the Snap version to be deprecated and will no longer be updating it. It seems to me there's a clear winner in the Snap vs Flatpak race. With a declining number of new Ubuntu users there doesn't seem much benefit in maintaining Snap support.
Packagers: A new python dependency has been added:
natsort
