Release notes

v3.0.3 — 2026-10-10

Artwork now blends with the music during crossfade and Mix transitions.

Artwork follows the blend — the next song's cover fades in as its audio comes in, across Now Playing, the mini player and Ambient mode. The animation follows playback position and pauses with the music.
Matching backgrounds and colours — Now Playing's blurred backdrop and accent tint, plus Ambient's artwork, background wash and glow/aurora colours, blend towards the next song too. In the Top artwork style, the outgoing animated cover fades away as the next cover appears.
Smoother visual handoffs — the incoming cover only fades in once it has loaded. Cancelling a transition eases back to the current cover; completing one briefly holds the incoming cover while the normal track-change animations catch up.

Uses your existing crossfade and Mix settings; no new switch is needed.
The watch app is unchanged; v3.0.0 on the watch works with v3.0.3 on the phone.
No database change (still schema v6), so your library carries over untouched.
Still not Play-shippable (GPLv3 NewPipeExtractor + YouTube ToS); for personal / educational use.
