Tapewave v0.2.0 - Quiet Hi-Fi for Windows

Tapewave v0.2.0 is the redesigned native Windows x64 music player: one persistent player, separate Music / Radio / Podcasts sections, a finite playback queue, and changeable colour palettes. No WebView, browser frontend or local server.

Downloads

• Windows x64 Installer: per-user setup; adds Start Menu shortcuts, optional desktop shortcut and an uninstall entry in Windows Settings. No administrator rights required.
• Windows x64 Portable ZIP: extract and run; preferences are still stored per user.
