  More…

  ### Browsing & search - The empty search screen now shows **browse categories** - Play a song directly from a browse category's shelf - Home: long-press a quick pick to open the Now Playing sheet - Library: show item counts in dynamic playlist headers ### Settings - Ask for confirmation before logging out of a linked account ### Desktop - **Replaced VLC with libmpv** as the sole playback backend — including DJ crossfade filters and a switch to DASH streams - Linux: build libmpv **from source** in a container instead of extracting it from the AppImage - Tray menu and tooltip now show the current track - The volume slider expands only on hover - The player bar timeline is tinted while a crossfade is running - Video now renders through **Compose frames**; `SwingPanel` removed - Windows: removed the debug terminal window - "Play next" now works on the desktop side - Added a **Queue** button to the mini player — PR #2275 by @laoluogun ### Internal - Migrated **every** icon to generated Material Symbols `ImageVector`s, dropping `material-icons-extended` and the XML drawables --- ## 🐛 Fixes ### Crossfade & player - Skip the crossfade when the **next** track plays as video, and when the **current** track plays as video - Keep the correct incoming track when a transport control is pressed mid-crossfade - Align the restored queue with the player, and guard against saves during a rebuild - Keep the progress slider within Material3's default range - Volume: apply it to the player before persisting it; unmute restores the original level — PR #2274 - Desktop: release the crossfade handle when loading another track; route volume through `ao-volume` so it applies instantly - **Normalise Tidal key names before Camelot matching** — Tidal spells accidentals out (`"FSharp"`, `"CSharp"`) rather than using symbols, so `keyToSemitone` failed to parse them and roughly **22% of tracks silently lost their key** in DJ crossfade. Fixed by normalising the string before matching, and by changing the `calculateKeyGapDurationFactor` fallback from `1.0` to `UNKNOWN_GAP_DEFAULT_FACTOR` — an unparseable key was previously treated as a *perfect* match ### Data & parsing - Lyrics: stop dropping the first character when no space follows the timestamp - Identify song columns by `pageType` instead of a fixed index - Keep only the first subtitle group as artists - The database now repairs **artist names** and **album names** stored by an older parse - Treat personalised mixes as radio playlists - Browse categories: key sections by title and cache them on disk, parse the songs shelf, and render every section the API returns ### Downloads & cache - Stop re-resolving stream URLs for tracks that are already fully downloaded - Serve directly from cache only when the whole track is on disk ### Desktop - macOS: switched audio output to `avfoundation` — avoids an `ao_coreaudio` use-after-free crash when headphones are plugged in or removed - macOS: register now-playing handlers on the main queue; stopped trimming native memory, which was causing a crash - Disabled skiko vsync (the cause of freezes when changing displays) and restore the window on Dock reopen - Backup: stopped double-wrapping the zip output stream - Registered URL schemes at the correct level in `conveyor.conf`, and restored external link opening on Linux - libmpv bundle: resolve by absolute path and drop POSIX open flags on Windows; strip AppleDouble sidecars that made macOS report "app is damaged"; treat an absent `ytdl` option as success - Raised the macOS floor to **15.0** for the bundled libmpv — **a breaking change for users on older macOS** ### User interface - Force-dark screens now use a real dark colour scheme rather than just dark text - Bottom sheet: title, artist and the like label take their colours from the dark palette - Search: leave room for the floating search bar in every state; cap the browse grid width and use four columns on wide layouts - Quick picks: keep titles on one line with a marquee - Smoother artwork scrims via a smoothstep gradient - `NormalAppBar` uses the transparent colours the app uses elsewhere - Show a generic album label when the album name is unknown - Analytics: lengthened the header scrim so the top song title no longer overlaps the stats - Repaired the notification bell icon path - Library: the "create playlist" label uses the theme colour - Spotify: match the login status URL when it carries a query string --- ## ⚡ Performance (Desktop) - Tuned the allocator and GC to cut resident memory - Return freed native memory to the OS when playback idles - Capped mpv's demuxer cache --- ## 🔧 Infrastructure & dependencies - PipePipeExtractor to **v6.2.0**, `brave-newpipe` bumped - Bumped a batch of dependencies - Refreshed the Gradle daemon JVM toolchain URLs - CI/CD: workflow updates; stage natives in the release workflow and verify the libmpv bundles - `CLAUDE.md` updated for Last.fm, the from-source Linux libmpv build, Compose video rendering, and the video crossfade rules --- ## What's Changed * Feat/queue button desktop miniplayer by @laoluogun in https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/pull/2275 * Feat/desktop mpv backend by @maxrave-dev in https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/pull/2284 * Fix/volume unmute to original value by @laoluogun in https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/pull/2274 * New version: v1.7.0 by @maxrave-dev in https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/pull/2281 ## New Contributors * @laoluogun made their first contribution in https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/pull/2275 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/maxrave-dev/SimpMusic/compare/v1.6.0...v1.7.0

We are about to reach 10,000 stars—a number I couldn't have even imagined when I first started this project. Your support has given me the motivation to overcome countless technical challenges to deliver better and better updates. However, I want to leave a quick reminder: SimpMusic is a 100% free and non-profit project. I dedicate my own personal time to serve the community. Because of that, I hope I no longer have to receive toxic feedback or harsh words from certain users. Your respect for my hard work is the only motivation I need to keep SimpMusic alive and growing. Thank you to all the kind users who have always understood and stayed by my side! 🎧❤️
