---

What’s New

• Offline Song Downloads: Download your favorite tracks directly to local storage for uninterrupted offline playback anytime.

• On-Device Listening Insights: A private listening trends chart that tracks your habits locally, revealing your most-played songs and top artists without sending your data to external servers.
• Karaoke-Style Syllable Synced Lyrics: Upgraded lyrics engine supporting real-time, syllable-by-syllable vocal highlighting for an authentic sing-along experience.
• Media Output Switcher: Seamlessly view and switch audio routing directly in the player between Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi/cast targets, and wired endpoints.
• MusicNest Labs: Experimental playback playground allowing you to apply custom audio profiles such as slowed + reverb and custom reverberation presets.
• Extended Music Providers: Integrated additional streaming sources to expand catalog reach and improve stream reliability.

• Auto-Playlist Rules: Tailor daily offline playlist rules (network preference, storage limits, and track limits) directly inside Settings.

---

Removals & Organization

• Spotify Scribe Banner: Removed the intrusive top banner for Spotify Scribe from the Library screen and migrated it into a clean, integrated tile within the main Library grid.

---

Bug Fixes

🚀 What's New in MusicNest v1.3

🧠 Next-Gen AI Recommendation & Discovery Suite

The MusicNest Recommendation System has undergone a complete re-architecture into three interconnected, intelligent engines:

1. RecBrain (Core Taste Engine)
   • Analyzes real-time listening habits, top tracks, frequent artists, and custom playlist preferences.
   • Generates a hyper-personalized home feed adapted continuously to your taste.
2. AutoFlow (Smart Dynamic Queue)
   • An AI-powered queue orchestrator that ingests listening context from RecBrain.
   • Dynamically assembles and transitions your upcoming queue based on current mood, session flow, and past behavior.
3. Echo Find (Natural Lyrics Song Finder)
   • Ever got a melody or line stuck in your head without knowing the title or artist? Type any snippet of lyrics into Echo Find.
   • Leverages MusicNest's Lyrics Provider network to track down the exact song, allowing instant playback or 1-tap addition to any playlist.
