@cufadev cufadev released this 20 Oct 15:29

simpleplay 1.5.1: playlists, FLAC, headphone profiles, a volume normalizer and lower CPU use. This release also covers 1.4.1 and 1.5, which were not published on their own.

New

  • Playlists. Open and save plain M3U8 files (VLC, mpv and Navidrome read them too) with paths relative to the list, so it keeps working if you move it together with the music. Right click tracks > Add to playlist to build lists, or use the new floppy-disk button next to the list to save it in one click. Dragging a .m3u/.m3u8 onto the window adds its tracks.
  • FLAC next to mp3: tags, cover art, ReplayGain and seeking. Tested up to 24-bit / 96 kHz.
  • Headphone profiles from the AutoEq database (about 800 models, searched from inside the player), or import your own GraphicEQ.txt / ParametricEQ.txt. Right click > Sound > Headphones.
  • Volume normalizer and an equalizer with presets (right click > Sound). A late loudness measurement is reached with a gentle ramp, and the next track is measured while the current one plays, so it starts already normalized.
  • A transition between the track name and the spectrum bars, rounded pop-up menus, and tools/convertir.sh to turn the audio of videos into mp3 or FLAC.

Changed

  • About a third less CPU with the spectrum bars on.
