✨ What's New

  • Cinematic ambient mode — Reactive full-app background that pulses with your music, toggleable from Settings with an intensity slider
  • 7 visualizer modes — Bars, Wave, Mirror, Radial, Aurora, Grid, Tunnel — switchable via an in-visualizer selector
  • Remote FFT visualization — YouTube and SoundCloud tracks now feed real frequency data to the visualizer via Web Audio AnalyserNode
  • Visualizer overlay with track title — Fullscreen visualizer shows the current track title with auto-hiding controls on mouse idle
  • Cinematic sidebar — Sidebar background goes translucent when cinematic mode is active
  • Volume persistence — Volume level is remembered across app restarts
  • i18n (English, Spanish) — Full UI translation support

  • Fix UI lock after adding a track from Search to a playlist
  • Fix WebKitGTK/JSC JIT crash on Linux debug builds (JIT disabled for Linux dev)
