Important note for anyone upgrading from v2.2.0 (or older) to v2.3.0 or newer app versions

In order to circumvent the hassle of macOS security restrictions, the location where the app stores its persisted state has changed from ~/Documents to ~/Music. This means that if you are upgrading from an older version of Aural Player (v2.2.0 or older), you need to move your app state directory from ~/Documents to ~/Music (exact steps listed below). Otherwise, note that you will lose all your previously saved app settings (playlist, sound settings, favorites, history, color schemes, window layouts, etc).

Perform the following simple steps when upgrading from v2.2.0 or any older version to v2.3.0 or any newer version.

  • Quit Aural Player v2.2.0 (or any older app version) if it is running.
  • Move the folder named aural in your user's Documents folder, to your user's Music folder.
  • Download/install Aural Player v2.3.0 (or any newer app version) and run it.
  • Verify that your previous app settings have been carried over to the new version - playlist tracks, window layouts, color schemes, history, favorites, bookmarks, etc. If not, please file an issue, and I will help you restore your previous app settings (this should not happen, but just in case).

The contents of the "aural" folder should look like this:
