MusicNest v1.3.1 Release Notes
MusicNest v1.3.1 introduces full offline playback, on-device intelligence powered by Nest Brain AI, natural-language playlist generation, tablet landscape optimizations, and complete control over audio quality and storage.
What’s New
- Offline Song Downloads: Download your favorite tracks directly to local storage for uninterrupted offline playback anytime.
- Smart Auto-Offline Playlist: A dynamic offline mix created and updated daily based on your personal music taste. Configurable download settings let you restrict synchronization to Wi-Fi only or allow downloads over mobile data.
- Liked Songs Collection: Like any track with one tap to automatically aggregate it inside your dedicated Liked Music section in the Library tab.
- Nest Mix AI: Prompt-driven playlist creation. Simply enter a description of what you want to hear (e.g., "sad songs because I am feeling down, and please add Dard Dilo Ke by Mohammad Irfan"), and the AI builds a custom playlist around your mood.
- 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.
Improvements & UI/UX Refinements
Home & Search
- Adaptive Home Feed: Rebuilt category sections that dynamically re-index every 24 hours using our on-device Nest Brain AI to suit your changing listening patterns.
- Enhanced Search Discovery: Added quick-filter mood and genre tags to the search screen, paired with an improved ranking algorithm for higher-accuracy search matches.
Tablet & Landscape Optimizations
- Refined Tablet UI: Reduced extraneous padding and improved spacing for tablets operating in landscape orientation.
- Landscape Player & Mini-Player: Redesigned both the full-screen player interface and the compact mini-player bar for comfortable navigation on widescreen layouts.
Library & Settings Customization
- Library Tile Grid: Added dedicated tiles for quick access to features like Nest Mix AI and Spotify Scribe.
- Audio & Download Quality Controls: Granular settings to independently configure streaming bitrate and offline download quality.
- Storage & Cache Management: New settings dashboard to view disk usage, manage storage consumption, and clear cached data or downloaded tracks with one tap.
- Skip Version Option: Added a "Skip Version" option to update dialogue prompts, letting you suppress notifications for a specific release while still allowing manual checks in Settings.
- 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.
