ChordPlay v1.8.8
ChordPlay v1.8.8
Welcome to ChordPlay v1.8.8! This update introduces a unified single-layer Account & Integrations hub, a revamped Miscellaneous section with live in-app update checking and upstream BitChord credit, a prominent golden accent for Dynamic Song Art, flexible playlist swipe actions, dedicated lyrics offset tuning in the music player, and taste-aware lucky discovery:
What's New in v1.8.8:
- Unified Single-Layer Account & Integrations Hub:
- Eliminated confusing nested sub-pages: Clicking either the top account profile banner or the "Account & integrations" category row in Settings directly opens one unified integrations screen.
- Manage your YouTube Music account, switch profiles ("Listen as"), connect/disconnect Spotify, link Discord Rich Presence, monitor Listen Together party sessions, and configure ListenBrainz & Last.fm scrobbler settings—all in one place with zero nested layers.
- Renamed to "Miscellaneous" & Live In-App Update Checker:
- Renamed the bottom settings section from "Software Update" to Miscellaneous.
- Added an interactive Check for updates button inside the top ChordPlay card in Miscellaneous, displaying real-time checking status, live download progress percentage, and one-tap install actions.
- Added an upstream project credit card linking to BitChord (
github.com/kushagrasinghx/BitChord) under "Links & Community" recognizing the project's upstream foundations.
- Featured Dynamic Song Art Theme (Golden Circle):
- Positioned Dynamic Song Art directly beside our default ChordPlay Crimson in the Appearance color palette carousel.
- Adorned with an eye-catching animated golden ring and gold accent typography so users can immediately discover the real-time adaptive artwork colorway.
- Eliminated transient theme flashbangs: smoothly retains the previous song's color scheme during track transitions while new cover art decodes, strictly respecting light and dark mode settings.
- Enhanced Swipe Gestures (Remove from Playlist & Open Menu):
- Added "Remove from Playlist" as a swipe action for instantaneous playlist cleanup.
- Added "Open Menu" as a swipe action to effortlessly pop up the 3-dot song options sheet with a single swipe gesture.
- Configurable individually under Settings → Appearance → Swipe Gestures for Left and Right swipes.
- Dedicated Player Lyrics Offset Control:
- Moved lyrics offset out of the congested 3-dot overflow menu into dedicated player controls.
- Long-Press on Player Lyrics Button: Holding the lyrics button in the player control deck directly opens the Lyrics Offset tuning sheet.
- Quick Tune Button in Lyrics View: When synced lyrics are open, a quick tuning button (
Tune) appears right beside the font style and translation toggles.
- Taste-Aware Lucky Draw Discovery Dice:
- Refactored the Speed Dial lucky draw engine to immediately harvest personalized seeds from your listening history, home shelves (Quick picks, Listen again, etc.), and library favorites with 0s latency.
- Monochrome Theme:
- Minimalist pure obsidian black and crisp stark white palette added to predefined color schemes.
- Fullscreen Lyrics & FastScroller Polish:
- Lifted fullscreen artwork mini lyrics comfortably above system gesture navigation bars.
- Adjusted 3-dot menu padding and scroller touch boundaries in library lists to eliminate accidental gestures.
