CAA art can be higher resolution (1200x1200+) but quality is
inconsistent — some releases have cellophane-wrapped photos or
low-quality scans. Spotify/iTunes/Deezer art is lower res (640x640)
but consistently clean and official.
New toggle: Settings → Post-Processing → "Use MusicBrainz Cover Art
Archive for album art" (off by default). Applies to both embedded
art and cover.jpg downloads.
New "Server Playlists" tab (default on Sync page) lets users compare
mirrored playlists against their media server and fix match issues.
- Dual-column comparison: source tracks (left) vs server tracks (right)
- Smart matching: exact title first, then fuzzy artist+title (≥75%)
- Find & Add: search library to fill missing slots at correct position
- Swap: replace matched tracks with different versions
- Remove: delete tracks from server playlists with confirmation
- Title similarity percentage badge on each match
- Disambiguation modal when multiple mirrored playlists share a name
- Album art on source tracks, server tracks, and search results
- Cross-column click-to-scroll highlighting
- Filter buttons (All/Matched/Missing/Extra) with live counts
- Escape key and backdrop click to close modals
- Mobile responsive (stacked columns under 768px)
- Works with Plex, Jellyfin, and Navidrome
New dashboard section shows recent syncs as scrolling cards with
playlist art, source badge, match percentage bar, and health color.
Click any card to open a detail modal showing every track's match
status, confidence score, album art, and download/wishlist status.
Per-track data is now cached in sync_history.track_results for all
sync paths: server-sync (playlist→media server), download missing
tracks, and wishlist processing. SyncResult carries match_details
from the sync service. Both image URLs and matched track info are
preserved for review.
Features:
- Staggered card entrance animation, delete button on hover
- Filter bar: All/Matched/Unmatched/Downloaded
- Color-coded confidence badges (green/amber/red)
- Unmatched tracks show "→ Wishlist" status
- 32px album art thumbnails per track row
- Auto-refreshes every 30 seconds on dashboard
- Falls back gracefully for old syncs without track_results
Users who keep manual searches in slskd as reminders were losing
them when SoulSync auto-cleaned at 200+ entries. New toggle in
Settings → Downloads → Soulseek: "Auto-clear slskd search history"
(on by default, preserving current behavior). When disabled, both
the hourly cleanup automation and the full cleanup step skip the
search history maintenance.
Same song from different albums was blocked from entering the
wishlist by a name+artist dedup check. Added toggle in Settings →
Library → File Organization: "Allow duplicate tracks across albums"
(on by default). When enabled, the dedup is skipped — different
album versions of the same song can coexist in the wishlist for
complete discography downloads. The UNIQUE constraint on track ID
still prevents the exact same track from being added twice.
ETH address was wrong in the support modal. Also fixed clipboard
copy failing on HTTP (Docker) — navigator.clipboard requires HTTPS.
Added textarea fallback for insecure contexts, and shows the address
in a toast as last resort if both methods fail.
Always-visible button in Spotify API section that clears the OAuth
token cache, pauses enrichment, and switches to the configured
fallback metadata source. Also fixed the dashboard service card to
show the actual active source name (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) instead
of always showing "Spotify" with an amber fallback indicator.
New dedicated Explorer page with interactive node graph visualization.
Users select a mirrored playlist, choose Albums or Discographies mode,
and the app builds a branching tree: playlist root → artist nodes →
album nodes → track nodes. Supports all metadata sources (Spotify,
iTunes, Deezer) with source-aware discovery cache integration.
Features:
- Streaming NDJSON builds tree progressively as artist data arrives
- Circular artist nodes with photos, rounded album nodes with art
- SVG bezier connections that draw in on completion, fade on hover
- Click artist to expand albums, double-click album for track listing
- Single-click albums to select, Select All/Deselect for bulk ops
- Wishlist confirmation modal with per-album progress (NDJSON streaming)
- Artist nodes glow when any of their albums are selected
- Playlist picker with source tabs, discovery % gate (50% minimum)
- Zoom (scroll/pinch/buttons), pan (right/middle-drag), fit-to-view
- Metadata cache for discographies and album track listings
- Owned album detection from library database
- Fallback track-name matching when album names are missing
Enrichment chips now show live activity: 24h call count for all
services and daily budget usage (used/3,000) with gradient progress
bar for Spotify. Tracking is centralized in _get_enrichment_status
using cumulative stat diffs over a rolling deque — no worker files
modified. Added section header, "Configure →" label for unconfigured
services, and full 1h/24h breakdown in tooltips.
Single path template was missing _artists_list and _itunes_artist_id
context keys, so the collab mode first-artist extraction in
_apply_path_template had nothing to work with — $albumartist resolved
to the full multi-artist string. Added both keys matching the exact
pattern used by album and playlist modes, including the iTunes
spotify_album.external_urls fallback. Updated settings UI hints to
show $albumartist as available for single and playlist templates.
Dashboard now displays all enrichment services as live-status chips
below the core service cards. Each chip shows Running, Idle, Paused,
Stopped, or Not Configured state with color-coded left border accents.
Unconfigured services appear dimmed with dashed borders — clicking any
configurable chip navigates to Settings → Connections and scrolls to
the relevant service section.
Also fixes the Spotify card always being labeled "Apple Music" when
using iTunes fallback — card now always says "Spotify" with an amber
"Using iTunes/Deezer" indicator when fallback is active.
Qobuz login was only available on the Downloads tab when Qobuz was
selected as download source. But Qobuz credentials are also needed
for the enrichment worker which runs independently. Users saw
"Connect Qobuz in Settings" on the dashboard but couldn't find it.
Adds a Qobuz section to Settings → Connections (same pattern as
Tidal's existing Connections section). checkQobuzAuthStatus() now
syncs both the Connections and Downloads tab sections. Login from
either tab updates both. No backend changes — same API endpoints.
Cache maintenance:
- Input validation rejects junk entities (Unknown Artist, empty names)
from being cached, with exemptions for synthetic entries (_features,
_tracks suffixes)
- CacheEvictorJob expanded to 4 phases: TTL eviction, junk cleanup,
orphaned search cleanup, MusicBrainz failed lookup cleanup
- MusicBrainz null results now expire after 30 days (was 90) so failed
lookups get retried sooner
Cache health UI:
- Polished modal accessible from Dashboard "Cache Health" button and
repair dashboard health bar
- Shows health status banner (healthy/fair/poor), stat cards, source
breakdown with colored progress bars, type pills, and metrics table
- Repair dashboard shows compact bar with health dot indicator
Replaces the fire-and-forget button with a premium modal that shows
exactly which artists will be added before confirming. Features:
- Glassmorphic modal with stat cards, two-column artist grid, search
filter, collapsible ineligible section, and loading spinner
- Source-aware filtering: only shows artists with the active source's
ID (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer) as eligible
- Frontend and backend both paginate at 400 to avoid SQLite variable
limit (SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER=999) that silently broke queries
above ~500 artists
- Backend source detection aligned with frontend — uses only the
active source's ID, falls back to configured metadata source
New "Download Discography" button in artist hero section opens a modal
showing the full catalog — albums, EPs, and singles — with filter
toggles, select/deselect all, and per-album owned/missing indicators.
Modal features:
- Glassmorphic design with artist image blurred background header
- Filter pills for Albums/EPs/Singles with instant grid filtering
- Album cards with cover art, year, track count, and checkbox
- Owned albums dimmed and unchecked by default, missing pre-selected
- Live NDJSON streaming: each album updates in real-time as processed
- "Process Wishlist Now" button after completion
- Albums sorted by track count (Deluxe first) to prevent duplicate
folder contexts from standard/deluxe edition ordering
Backend: NDJSON streaming endpoint POST /api/artist/<id>/download-discography
- Fetches tracks per album via active metadata client
- Adds to wishlist with dedup (no slow fuzzy matching)
- Streams one JSON line per album as it completes
- Works on both Artists search page and Library artist detail page
New setting in Settings → Library → File Organization: "Collaborative
Album Artist" — choose between first listed artist (default) or all
artists combined for $albumartist in folder paths and album_artist tag.
Per-source resolution:
- Spotify: artists array has separate objects — picks first directly
- Deezer: API already returns first artist only — no change needed
- iTunes: combined string ("Larry June, Curren$y & The Alchemist") —
resolves via artistId API lookup to get primary name ("Larry June").
Safe for "Tyler, the Creator" and "Simon & Garfunkel" because their
IDs resolve to the same combined name (no change).
Applied to both folder path ($albumartist template) and album_artist
metadata tag for consistency. Track artist tag always keeps all artists.
iTunes lookup only fires when source is iTunes (numeric ID + not Deezer).
New "Scan Lookback" dropdown in the watchlist artist config modal.
Each artist can override the global lookback period (7d to entire
discography). Default is "Use Global Setting" (NULL in DB).
- Database: lookback_days INTEGER DEFAULT NULL on watchlist_artists,
auto-migrated on startup
- Scanner: checks per-artist lookback_days first, falls back to
global discovery_lookback_period if NULL
- Backend: GET/POST /api/watchlist/artist/<id>/config includes
lookback_days. Changing lookback clears last_scan_timestamp to
force a rescan with the new window
- Frontend: dropdown with 8 options in artist config modal
- Fully backwards compatible — existing artists unchanged
Stream source:
- New setting in Settings → Downloads: "Stream / Preview Source"
- Options: YouTube (instant, default) or Active Download Source
- YouTube streams require no auth and are instant
- If active source is Soulseek, automatically falls back to YouTube
- Uses direct client search (bypasses orchestrator's download mode)
- Config key: download_source.stream_source
Docker:
- entrypoint.sh now runs pip install -U yt-dlp on every container
start, so Docker users always have the latest yt-dlp without
rebuilding the image
Security:
- Toggle in Settings → Advanced: "Require PIN to access SoulSync"
- Full-screen lock overlay on every page load when enabled
- PIN validated server-side against admin profile (bcrypt hash)
- Inline PIN creation if admin has no PIN set, change PIN button if set
- One-time session flag: verify-launch-pin sets it, /profiles/current
consumes it — every page load re-requires PIN
Recovery:
- "Forgot PIN?" on lock screen switches to credential verification
- User pastes any configured API key/token/secret (Spotify, Tidal,
Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, ListenBrainz, AcoustID, Last.fm, Genius)
- Server checks against all 9 stored values — any match clears PIN
and disables lock, with toast guiding to Settings to set a new one
Profile switch integration:
- Entering PIN during profile switch also sets launch_pin_verified
flag, preventing double-PIN prompt on the subsequent page reload
Updated version modal and helper What's New with this feature.
Search results now show "In Library" badges on albums and tracks
that already exist in the user's library. Badges appear with a
staggered fade-in animation after results render (non-blocking).
- Backend: /api/enhanced-search/library-check endpoint builds
owned album/track sets in 2 queries, O(1) lookups per result
- Frontend: async call after render, 30ms stagger per badge
- Tracks in library get play button rewired for direct playback
from media server instead of searching download sources
- Fixed enhanced search album card text not visible (info div
now absolute-positioned with gradient overlay)
- Download manager panel hidden by default for more search space
New feature: click the floating ? button (bottom-right corner) to
enter help mode. Click any UI element to see a popover explaining
what it is and how to use it. Covers Dashboard + Sidebar + Watchlist.
- Floating button always visible above modals (z-index 999999)
- Click interception via capture phase prevents accidental actions
- Popover with smart positioning (right/left/below fallback)
- Arrow pointing to target element with accent highlight pulse
- "View full documentation" links navigate to the correct docs section
- Escape key dismisses popover or exits help mode
- Works inside modals (watchlist, artist config, global settings)
- 45+ contextual help entries covering sidebar nav, service cards,
stat cards, all 9 tool cards, watchlist modal buttons, artist
config options, content filters, and activity feed
- Separate helper.js file for maintainability
Artists page hero section:
- Large portrait artist photo (400x480px, rounded rectangle)
- Blurred saturated background from artist image
- 2.6em bold name with text shadow
- Real service logo badges (Spotify, MusicBrainz, Deezer, iTunes,
Last.fm, Genius, Tidal, Qobuz) — matching library page
- Genre pills merged from metadata cache + Last.fm tags
- Last.fm bio with read more/show less toggle
- Last.fm listener count + playcount stats (large bold numbers)
- Backend enriches discography response with artist_info from
metadata cache + library (all service IDs, Last.fm data, genres)
Album/Single/EP cards:
- Full-bleed cover art filling entire card with gradient overlay
- Album name + year overlaid at bottom over dark gradient
- Image zoom on hover, accent glow for dynamic-glow cards
- Responsive grid (220px desktop, 170px tablet, 140px mobile)
Similar artist cards:
- Full-bleed image cards matching library artist card style
- Gradient overlay with name at bottom, aspect-ratio 0.8
- Grid-controlled sizing via existing responsive breakpoints
Genre explorer (multi-source):
- Queries all allowed sources (iTunes+Deezer always, Spotify when
authed) via _get_genre_allowed_sources() helper
- Deezer genre support: genre_id mapping from search results,
one-time backfill from stored raw_json, album-to-artist propagation
- Genre deep dive deduplicates artists across sources
- Source dots on artists/tracks in deep dive modal
- Artist clicks route through source-specific client
- Album endpoint falls back across sources when IDs don't match
- Genre explorer cached 24hr in-memory, positioned at top of
Discover page below hero slider
All changes mobile responsive with proper breakpoints.
Each streaming source (Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, Deezer) now has an "Allow
quality fallback" checkbox in Settings. When disabled, the source only
tries the exact quality selected — if unavailable, it skips and lets
the orchestrator try the next source. Default is ON (current behavior).
- Tidal and Qobuz SVG logos inverted on artist detail hero badges
- New Artist Radio button: clears queue, plays random artist track, enables radio
- Play buttons on Last.fm top tracks (hover reveal, resolves from library)
- Fixed inline JS escaping with data attribute delegation
Major version bump with 40+ commits of features and fixes:
- Deezer as 6th download source (ARL auth, FLAC/MP3, Blowfish decrypt)
- Cache-powered discovery: 5 sections + Genre Deep Dive modal
- Listening Stats page with charts and play buttons
- Picard-style MB release preflight for consistent album tagging
- Album Tag Consistency repair job
- Unified glass UI across dashboard, sync, and modals
- Mobile responsive overhaul for all pages
- Enrichment fixes: retry loops, rate limits, worker pause during scans
- AcoustID skip for trusted API sources
- Stats page: database storage donut chart with per-table breakdown and total size
- Discover page: 5 new sections mined from metadata cache (zero API calls):
Undiscovered Albums, New In Your Genres, From Your Labels, Deep Cuts, Genre Explorer
- Genre Deep Dive modal: artists (clickable → artist page), popular tracks,
albums with download flow, related genre pills, in-library badges
- All cache queries filtered by active metadata source (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer)
- Stale cache entries (404) gracefully fall back to name+artist resolution
- Album cards show "In Library" badge, artist avatars scaled by prominence
Full stats dashboard that polls Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome for play
history and presents it with Chart.js visualizations:
Backend:
- ListeningStatsWorker polls active server every 30 min
- listening_history DB table with dedup, play_count/last_played on tracks
- get_play_history() and get_track_play_counts() for all 3 servers
- Pre-computed cache for all time ranges (7d/30d/12m/all) rebuilt each sync
- Single cached endpoint serves all stats data instantly
- Stats query methods: top artists/albums/tracks, timeline, genres, health
Frontend:
- New Stats nav page with glassmorphic container matching dashboard style
- Overview cards (plays, time, artists, albums, tracks) with accent hover
- Listening timeline bar chart (Chart.js)
- Genre breakdown doughnut chart with legend
- Top artists visual bubbles with profile pictures + ranked list
- Top albums and tracks ranked lists with album art
- Library health: format breakdown bar, unplayed count, enrichment coverage
- Recently played timeline with relative timestamps
- Time range pills with instant switching via cache
- Sync Now button with spinner, last synced timestamp
- Clickable artist names navigate to library artist detail
- Last.fm global listeners shown alongside personal play counts
- SoulID badges on matched artists
- Empty state when no data synced yet
- Mobile responsive layout
DB migrations: listening_history table, play_count/last_played columns,
all with idempotent CREATE IF NOT EXISTS / PRAGMA checks.
- Add get_artist_top_tracks to Last.fm client (up to 100 tracks)
- Include lastfm_listeners, lastfm_playcount, lastfm_tags, lastfm_bio,
and soul_id in artist detail API response
- New endpoint: /api/artist/<id>/lastfm-top-tracks for lazy loading
- Hero layout: image (160px) | center (name, badges, genres, bio,
listener/play stats, progress bars) | right card (scrollable top
100 tracks from Last.fm)
- Badges 36px with hover lift, bio in subtle card with Read More
toggle, Last.fm tags merged with existing genres
- Numbers formatted: 1234567 → 1.2M
- Graceful degradation: sections hidden when Last.fm data unavailable
Lossy copy now supports MP3, Opus, and AAC (M4A) codecs with a
configurable dropdown in settings. Each codec uses the appropriate
ffmpeg encoder (libmp3lame/libopus/aac) and Mutagen tag writer
(ID3/Vorbis/MP4). Quality tag, filename substitution, and Blasphemy
Mode file cleanup all work per-codec. Backward compatible — existing
configs default to MP3.
SoulID worker generates deterministic soul IDs for all library entities:
- Artists: hash(name + debut_year) — searches iTunes + Deezer APIs,
verifies correct artist by matching discography against local DB
albums via MusicMatchingEngine, pools years from both sources and
picks the earliest. Falls back to hash(name) if no match found.
- Albums: hash(artist + album)
- Tracks: song ID hash(artist + track) + album ID hash(artist + album + track)
Dashboard button with trans2.png logo, rainbow spinner, hover tooltip.
Worker orb with rainbow effect. SoulSync badge on library artist cards.
DB migration adds soul_id columns with indexes to artists/albums/tracks.
Migration version flag auto-resets artist soul IDs when algorithm changes.
- Remove redundant enable checkbox — fallback dropdown is the enable
- Hydrabase option only appears in dropdown when connected
- Connect/disconnect dynamically adds/removes dropdown option
- _is_hydrabase_active checks fallback_source == hydrabase (not config toggle)
- Fallback client returns hydrabase_client when selected, iTunes if disconnected
- Auto-reconnect respects fallback selection for dev_mode handling
- hydrabase added to settings save service list for persistence
- Status shows green Connected on page load when auto-connected
Add Hydrabase section to Settings → Connections with enable toggle,
WebSocket URL, API key, auto-connect, and connect/disconnect button.
_is_hydrabase_active() now checks hydrabase.enabled config in addition
to dev_mode — either path activates it. Default disabled, zero change
for existing users. Dev admin page stays behind dev mode password.
Replace fixed primary/secondary hybrid dropdowns with an ordered list
of all 5 download sources. Users enable/disable each source and reorder
with up/down arrows to set download priority. Sources are tried in
order until one returns results.
- New hybrid_order config field (backward compat with legacy primary/secondary)
- Download orchestrator loops ordered list with per-source error handling
- Sortable source list UI with icons, toggle switches, priority numbers
- Source-specific settings shown for all enabled hybrid sources
- Seamless migration from legacy 2-source to N-source format
Replace 3-column glassmorphic card wall with centered single-column
tabbed interface. Horizontal pill tab bar (Connections, Downloads,
Library, Appearance, Advanced) with category switching.
- Kill glassmorphic cards, accent gradient bars, and box shadows
- Clean section headers with subtle dividers
- Horizontal setting rows (label left, control right)
- Custom styled select dropdowns with SVG arrow
- Quality Profile moved into Downloads tab (conditionally visible)
- Help text wraps to new line below controls
- Path inputs and template inputs properly styled
- Mobile responsive (rows stack, tab bar scrolls)
- Zero functional changes — all element IDs and JS logic preserved
Search results now show switchable tabs for alternate metadata sources.
Primary source renders immediately, alternate sources load in parallel
and tabs appear progressively as each completes.
- New /api/enhanced-search/source/<name> endpoint for per-source queries
- Source-aware routing via ?source= param on discography, album tracks,
album detail, and artist image endpoints (prevents numeric ID
misrouting between iTunes and Deezer)
- Source override stored on artistsPageState for consistent navigation
- Tabs styled with source brand colors, show result counts
- All additive — users who ignore tabs see zero behavioral change
- Add max_peer_queue setting to skip peers with long queues (soft filter
with fallback to unfiltered if all results removed)
- Add download_timeout setting replacing hardcoded 10-minute limit
- Include quality_score (peer health: upload speed, free slots, queue
length) in result ranking — was calculated but never used in sort key
- New UI controls in Soulseek settings section
Replace category-based tag settings (10 toggles) with per-tag controls
grouped by source service in an accordion UI. Each of the 11 service
groups (Spotify, iTunes, MusicBrainz, Deezer, AudioDB, Tidal, Qobuz,
Last.fm, Genius, General) has a master toggle that disables all child
tags, with individual toggles for fine-grained control. ISRC and
copyright fallback chains are now per-source toggleable. Genre merge
contributions from each source are independently controllable. All
tags default to enabled for backward compatibility.
Post-processing now writes all 18 MusicBrainz tags that Picard writes:
Release Group ID, Album Artist ID, Release Track ID, Release Type,
Status, Country, Original Date, Media, Barcode, Catalog #, ASIN,
Script, Total Discs (plus the 5 already supported). One cached API
call per album via get_release with recordings include.
New "Tags to Embed" settings section with 10 category toggles (all
enabled by default): MusicBrainz IDs, Release Info, Source IDs, ISRC,
BPM, Mood & Style, Copyright & Label, Genre Merging, URLs, Quality.
Each shows inline description of what it includes.
New dropdown in Soulseek settings lets users filter out slow peers at
search time (Any/1/2/3/4/5/10 Mbps). Passes minimumPeerUploadSpeed
to slskd API in bytes/sec.
Also fixes quality scoring tiers which were using wrong units — old
thresholds (5000, 1000, 500) treated bytes/sec values as kbps,
making speed scoring effectively meaningless. Now uses correct
bytes/sec thresholds based on real peer data.
- Fix enrichment progress never updating: remove `continue` that skipped
progress_callback for successful tracks in enrich_chart_tracks
- Split chart/extract into two-step flow: extract raw tracks, then enrich
via polling endpoint with live progress overlay updates
- Move Beatport enrichment cache to persistent metadata cache system
- Fix metadata cache detail modal for Beatport (URL entity_ids with slashes)
- Add per-source Clear dropdown (Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Beatport) to cache browser
- Remove debug logging from enrichment progress tracking
- Persistent download bubble cards on Beatport page and dashboard,
matching the existing artist/search bubble UX with click-to-reopen,
green checkmark on completion, and snapshot persistence
- In-memory enrichment cache (2h TTL, thread-safe) skips re-scraping
when the same chart is clicked twice
- Batch enrichment replaces one-by-one HTTP requests with a single
POST, using WebSocket progress events for overlay updates
- Fix _beatportModalOpening guard blocking modal open after fast
cached enrichment by resetting the flag in openBeatportChartAsDownloadModal
- Hide Browse/My Playlists tabs — Browse is now the only Beatport view
- New sync_history DB table tracks last 100 syncs with full cached context
- Records history for all sync types: Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube,
Beatport, ListenBrainz, Mirrored playlists, and Download Missing flows
- Sync History button on sync page with modal showing entries, source
filter tabs, stats badges, and pagination
- Re-sync button: server syncs expand card inline with live progress bar,
matched/failed counts, and cancel button; download syncs open download modal
- Re-syncs update the original entry (moves to top) instead of creating duplicates
- Delete button (x) on each entry with smooth remove animation
- Fix mirrored playlist source detection (youtube_mirrored_ matched youtube_)
- Fix broken server import thumbnails with URL validation
New toggle under Post-Download Conversion: automatically converts 24-bit
or high sample rate FLAC files to 16-bit/44.1kHz after download, replacing
the original. Uses ffmpeg with temp file + verify + atomic swap for safety.
Runs before lossy copy so MP3s are made from the downsampled version.
Also prevents bit depth strict mode from rejecting files that will be
downsampled anyway.
- Switch user automations to 2-column grid layout (matches system automations)
- Add duplicate button on non-system cards with POST /api/automations/<id>/duplicate
- Add search/filter bar (text search + trigger/action dropdowns) shown at 6+ automations
- Add Inspiration section with 8 starter templates that pre-fill the builder
- Add folder-style automation grouping with group_name DB column, dropdown
popover for assignment, collapsible group sections, and builder group input
