rAIdio.bot v0.1.24 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.24

What's new

• Duration safety lock — the Duration slider is now locked to a stable range (up to 240s) by default. You can unlock it (🔓) to generate longer tracks, with a heads-up that very long renders can be unstable on some setups.
• Linux beta — rAIdio.bot is now available for Linux as a .deb and an .AppImage. Requires Ubuntu 24.04 (or compatible), an NVIDIA GPU (16 GB+ VRAM), and a WebKitGTK desktop. Linux downloads are minisign-signed.

Under the hood: stability and packaging cleanup.

Beta channel (opt-in, pre-release). Windows + Linux.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.23 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.23

What's new

• Sing Along on Linux now correctly isolates the vocal track and produces the time-synced lyrics. (Windows was already working — this brings Linux to parity.)
• Hardware Check wording is clearer when a GPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements, including for complimentary copies.

Beta channel (opt-in, pre-release). Windows installer + Linux .deb / .AppImage.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.22 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.22

What's new

• Sing Along is fixed. The speech-recognition model is now delivered up front
  through the normal download system — with progress and resume — instead of being
  fetched silently the first time you used Sing Along, which could stall and never
  finish on some setups. Sing Along now transcribes reliably.
• Faster, steadier AI engine. It starts up quicker (a dependency was being
  needlessly reinstalled on every launch), and restarting it now reliably reclaims
  its port instead of occasionally leaving a stuck process behind.

No changes to how you create, edit, or export audio.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.21 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.21

What's new

• Faster, more reliable downloads. App installers and updates are now delivered
  through a content-delivery network, so fetching a new version is much quicker and no
  longer bandwidth-throttled — on both Windows and Linux.
• Clearer error reporting. Errors shown in the app are now also written to the log
  file, making problems easier to diagnose and report.

This release is mostly under the hood: a rebuilt, hardened build-and-release pipeline
and faster update delivery. There are no changes to how you create, edit, or export
audio.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.20 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.20

What's new

• Beta update detection fixed. On the beta channel, the in-app "Check for updates" could report "you're on the latest version" even when a newer beta was published. It now reliably detects the newest beta release. (Stable-channel update checking was unaffected.)
• Carries the security & dependency updates from 0.1.19 (refreshed bundled libraries, cleared advisories) — no functional changes, hardening only.

🐧 Linux — early beta

This is an early beta of the Linux build. It stays on the beta channel through a few more iterations until we're happy with it — expect rough edges. Windows remains the primary, stable platform. Your detailed reports (below) are what move Linux toward release quality — thank you.

System requirements

OS: 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer — Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, or a recent Arch / Pop!_OS. Verified on Ubuntu 24.04 (our reference target); wider distros are expected to work via the AppImage and are exactly what we're asking testers to confirm.

GPU: an NVIDIA (CUDA) GPU with a driver new enough for CUDA 12.8 (≈ 570 or later). 16 GB VRAM recommended, 12 GB minimum; the optional XL model needs 24 GB. AMD/Intel GPUs and the open nouveau driver are not supported — the AI backend is CUDA-only.

Also needed:

• A desktop session (X11 or Wayland).
• PipeWire or PulseAudio for audio out (standard on any desktop).
• Internet on first run to download the AI backend + models (~9 GB, one-time) — runs offline afterward.
• A valid RB1- serial to activate.

Install

Use whichever fits your distro, and if you can, try both:

Debian / Ubuntu — .deb (the confirmed-working path):

sudo apt install ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.20_amd64.deb

Any modern 64-bit Linux — AppImage (newer; please also test):

chmod +x rAIdio.bot_0.1.20_amd64.AppImage
./rAIdio.bot_0.1.20_amd64.AppImage

The AppImage bundles its own dependencies, so it should run on most modern distributions. If it launches blank or won't play audio, please report it and fall back to the .deb.

• If the AppImage won't start at all, your distro may need FUSE — sudo apt install libfuse2 (Debian/Ubuntu), or run it with ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.20_amd64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.

(Each artifact ships with a matching .minisig minisign signature — optional to verify.)

First run

1. Launch it and enter the RB1- serial you were given → it activates and locks to this machine.
2. First-run setup downloads the AI backend + models (a few GB, one-time — let it finish).
3. You're in.

What to test

• App launches and the UI renders (not a blank window).
• License activation with your serial succeeds.
• First-run model/backend download completes (no freeze at 100%).
• Generate a track — Text-to-Audio — end to end.
• Waveform draws, and playback works (audio actually comes out).
• The Mixer and Edit panels behave.
• Export a track (it should produce a signed / C2PA file).

Your report — please include

• Distro + version (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Arch) and GPU (e.g. RTX 4070).
• Which format you used (.deb or AppImage).
• The build id in the lower-right corner (should read v0.1.20-…) — quote it.
• What worked, what didn't, and any exact error text.
• If something broke, attach the logs:
  • ~/.local/share/rAIdio.bot/raidio.log
  • ~/.local/share/rAIdio.bot/comfyui.log

Thanks for testing on the beta channel.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.19 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.19

What's new

• Security & dependency maintenance. Refreshed several bundled libraries to their latest patched releases and cleared newly-published advisories. No functional or behavioural changes — this is a hardening/upkeep release. If 0.1.18 works for you, 0.1.19 behaves identically, just on current dependencies.

Thanks for testing on the beta channel.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.18 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.18

What's new

• Fixed large downloads freezing at 100%. On big files — especially the optional XL music model (~10 GB) — the download could reach 100% and then hang indefinitely instead of finishing. The downloader now detects a stalled connection, resumes automatically, and stops cleanly the moment the whole file is in — so large downloads complete instead of getting stuck at the end. (Follow-up to the 0.1.17 setup-hang fix; this addresses the remaining stall on very large files.)

• PipeWire or PulseAudio for audio out (standard on any desktop).
• Internet on first run to download the AI backend + models (~9 GB, one-time) — runs offline afterward.
• A valid RB1- serial to activate.

The .deb pulls its library dependencies (WebKitGTK 4.1, GTK 3, the ALSA→Pulse bridge) via apt; the AppImage bundles them, so on most modern distros it should just run.

Install

Use whichever fits your distro, and if you can, try both and tell us how each behaves:

Debian / Ubuntu — .deb (the confirmed-working path):

sudo apt install ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.18_amd64.deb

Any modern 64-bit Linux — AppImage (newer; please also test):

chmod +x rAIdio.bot_0.1.18_amd64.AppImage
./rAIdio.bot_0.1.18_amd64.AppImage

The AppImage bundles its own dependencies, so it should run on most modern distributions (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, recent Arch, Pop!_OS…). It's newer than the .deb — if it launches blank or won't play audio, please report it and fall back to the .deb.

• If the AppImage won't start at all, your distro may need FUSE — sudo apt install libfuse2 (Debian/Ubuntu), or run it with ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.18_amd64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.

(Each artifact ships with a matching .minisig minisign signature — optional to verify.)

First run

1. Launch it and enter the RB1- serial you were given → it activates and locks to this machine.
2. First-run setup then downloads the AI backend + models (a few GB, one-time — let it finish). This is exactly the path the 0.1.18 fix touches — a big download should no longer freeze at 100%.
3. You're in.

What to test

• App launches and the UI renders (not a blank window).
• License activation with your serial succeeds.
• First-run model/backend download completes (no freeze at 100%) — and if you have the VRAM, the optional XL model download too.
• Generate a track — Text-to-Audio — end to end.
• Waveform draws, and playback works (audio actually comes out).
• The Mixer and Edit panels behave.
• Export a track (it should produce a signed / C2PA file).

Your report — please include

• Distro + version (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Arch) and GPU (e.g. RTX 4070).
• Which format you used (.deb or AppImage).
• The build id in the lower-right corner (e.g. v0.1.18-…) — quote it.

• If something broke, attach the logs:
  • ~/.local/share/rAIdio.bot/raidio.log
  • ~/.local/share/rAIdio.bot/comfyui.log

Thanks for testing on the beta channel.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.17 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.17

What's new

• Fixed a hang during setup. A large download — especially the optional XL model — could look frozen at 100% while the app verified the file's integrity and unpacked it. The app now stays responsive and shows "Verifying…" / "Extracting…" instead of appearing stuck.

🐧 Linux — early beta

This is an early beta of the Linux build. It will stay on the beta channel through a few more iterations until we're happy with it, so expect rough edges. Windows remains the primary, stable platform. Your detailed reports (below) are what move Linux toward release quality — thank you.

Install

Two formats — use whichever fits your distro, and if you can, try both and tell us how each behaves:

Debian / Ubuntu — .deb (the confirmed-working path):

sudo apt install ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.17_amd64.deb

Any modern 64-bit Linux — AppImage (newer; please also test):

chmod +x rAIdio.bot_0.1.17_amd64.AppImage
./rAIdio.bot_0.1.17_amd64.AppImage

The AppImage bundles its own dependencies, so it should run on most modern distributions (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, recent Arch, Pop!_OS…). It's newer than the .deb — if it launches blank or won't play audio, please report it and fall back to the .deb.

• If the AppImage won't start at all, your distro may need FUSE — sudo apt install libfuse2 (Debian/Ubuntu), or run it with ./rAIdio.bot_0.1.17_amd64.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run.

(Each artifact ships with a matching .minisig minisign signature — optional to verify.)

First run

1. Launch it and enter the RB1- serial you were given → it activates and locks to this machine.
2. First-run setup then downloads the AI backend + models (a few GB, one-time — let it finish).
3. You're in.

What to test

Please walk these and note what works vs. breaks:

• App launches and the UI renders (not a blank window).
• License activation with your serial succeeds.
• Generate a track — Text-to-Audio — end to end.
• Waveform draws, and playback works (audio actually comes out).
• The Mixer and Edit panels behave.
• Export a track (it should produce a signed / C2PA file).

Your report — please include

• Distro + version (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Arch) and GPU (e.g. RTX 4070).

  • ~/.local/share/rAIdio.bot/comfyui.log

Thanks for testing on the beta channel.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.16 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.16

What's new

• Much faster first-time setup. The ~60 GB of AI models now download through our own content-delivery network instead of a rate-limited public host, so the first-run install runs at your connection's full speed instead of crawling. If the CDN is ever unavailable, it falls back to the previous source automatically.

Thanks for testing on the beta channel.

rAIdio.bot v0.1.15 (beta)

rAIdio.bot v0.1.15

What's new

• The "email us" button works again. In Settings, the info@rAIdio.bot contact button now opens your default mail app instead of showing an error.
• Right-click menus stay on screen. The file context menu no longer gets cut off when you right-click near the bottom or edge of the window.
