ScenicSound Manager 0.9.2 (beta)
Pre-release
What's new in 0.9.2
- The library now reminds you that you can drag audio files anywhere onto it to import them (small hint under the file table).
- Fixed the master volume starting at 0% on a fresh install — it now defaults to 100%.
- Creating tags is easier to find: a labeled Create new tag button sits next to Clear at the top of the tag filter (previously a small "+" icon below the tags).
- Tags selected in the filter now show a ✓ checkmark, so your active filter is easy to see on any tag color.
Installation
- Download the zip below, unzip it, and drag ScenicSound Manager.app into your Applications folder.
- Install VLC if you don't already have it — the app uses it for audio playback (it will prompt you with a download link if it's missing).
- First launch: macOS will refuse to open the app because it isn't code-signed yet. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway", then confirm. You only have to do this once.
- On macOS Sonoma (14) or earlier you can instead right-click the app and choose Open.
Upgrading from an older version? Back up your library first (File → Back Up Database…) so you can roll back to the old version if anything goes wrong. The app also snapshots your database automatically before upgrading its format, but your own backup is the sure thing.

Stream Deck plugin (optional)
