AudioPaper 0.1.1: more photos, fewer gaps, and an accessibility pass.

Install or update: download AudioPaper-0.1.1.dmg, open it, and drag AudioPaper to Applications (replace the old copy). Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Needs macOS 26 and the Music app.

More artist photos

  • Wikimedia Commons photos filed a level or two down are now found: many artists' pictures live in categories like "Aespa by year" → "Aespa in 2025". aespa and Poppy, among others, now get freely licensed concert photos.
  • Songs you've played before are searched once more so they can pick these up, and each artist's image pool rebuilds as you listen.

Steadier lookups

  • MusicBrainz's brief "busy" replies are now waited out and retried once, instead of pausing art lookups for a minute. That had sometimes left a song with only its album cover.

Accessibility (audited against WCAG2ICT and Apple's accessibility guidelines)

  • VoiceOver now describes what's on your desktop ("Photo by …, from Wikimedia Commons"), says "Photo" for photos rather than "Fan art", and names the link to each image's source page.
  • Settings fields say which service they belong to ("fanart.tv personal API key"), and the rotation slider reads its value ("45 seconds").
  • Widget artwork is described for VoiceOver.
  • With Reduce Motion on, the Mini Player's image strip jumps instead of scrolling.
  • The Mini Player's "…" menu opens under its button, including when you press it from the keyboard.
  • Photos now show a camera icon next to their credit.

Fixes

  • Settings… in the menu bar menu now opens Settings in front of other apps, not behind them.

Help and reference: https://msitarzewski.github.io/AudioPaper/: including a new Credits page for every image on the site, and an Accessibility section.

Privacy is unchanged: no account, no telemetry. The one new kind of request is a Commons category listing, at most six per artist, as listed in Network.
