Hey 👋 What's up?

Artist View

It's finally here. You will need to refresh your library in order to see the correct artist names. :)

Library Refresh Button

Previously, the refresh button would ignore all previously imported tracks, forcing users to remove tracks before re-scanning the library in order to refresh the tags.

There are now two buttons within the library settings:

• "scan" is basically the previous behavior: only new files will be added.
• "refresh" will force the refresh of all tracks tags. If you did override some tags via the "edit track" feature, those changes will be lost.

Follow Playing Track

It is now possible to tell Museeks to automatically follow the playing track. Basically, when a track change, Museeks will automatically scroll the new playing track.

You can enable this feature in "Settings" -> "Audio" -> "Follow playing Track".

This can be useful for people with huge libraries and playing tracks with shuffle, as pressing ctrl/cmd+T every other minute can be annoying.

This only works when the app is not focused to not disturb users actively using the app.

Misc improvements and bugfixes

Platform Specific Issues:

• [Linux][Windows] Fixed keybindings not working in some scenarios
• [Linux] Fixed icon not being shown on dock and grid view when using Gnome and Wayland

Misc:

• Improved data loading of multiple views (de-duping and parallelization)
• Improved cover loading by making them fade in once loaded
• Fixed play button sometimes not working on restart

• Fix "system" theme always defaulting to light on macOS #832

• Fixed scroll restoration when switching views
• Improved (further) cover fetching
• Added limit of 50Kb to the log file

• Default track name to filename instead of "Unknown" if no ID3 tag is found during library scan (#828)
• Improve Cover detection by scanning for Illustration, Icon or OtherIcon if CoverFront was not found (#826)

• Fixed Museeks not running on Ubuntu 22.04 / Mint 21

note: Museeks for Linux is now built using to GLIBC_2.31 instead of 2.38. This makes it compatible with all Linux distros using version 2.31 or a newer one.

It would unfortunately be quite hard to target even older systems like Ubuntu <= 20.04, due to libwebkitgtk dependency issues. If you really need Museeks to run on older systems, I would encourage you to update GLIBC to a version greater than 2.31.

• Fixed tracks not removable from queue
• Improved ID3 extraction, particularly track/disc number (you may need to remove and re-scan those files)

• Fixed track list header stickiness
• Fixed double click on track not starting playback in playlists

• Fixed queue and playlist not being sortable due to conflicts with the files-drop feature on macOS + Linux

• Improved tracks metadata extraction
• Fixed shortcuts on non-QWERTY keyboard layouts
• Fixed settings not focusing/toggling when clicking on labels

Internal:

• Ensure logger is setup before initializing the UI
• Updated Tauri to 2.2.0

• Fixed covers not loading on Windows
