Mussek 0.7 is the latest version of the music player. It has been released with the following changes:
Added
- Add cover support
- If the track has an ID3 cover, it will be used
- If there is a [album|albumart|cover|folder].[jpg|png|bmp|gif] in the track folder, the first matching file will be used
- If the above solution fails, a “no-cover” fallback image is used
- Add an option to run Museeks with the OS’s native frame
- Add an option in the track list context menu to filter by album/artist
- Add files with uppercase extensions when scanning the library (e.g something.WAV)
- Add notifications after some actions
- Add a link to library in empty playlist
- Add an track play counter (not shown yet in the UI though)
- Add a troubleshooting section in Settings/About
Improved
- Improved queue drag&drop management
- More natural volume change
Changed
- Drop NeDB for LinvoDB3 with LevelJS: you will need to refresh your library
- Update to Electron 1.4.0
Fixed
- Fix library refresh with some file without metadata and some .wav
- Fix library not scanning files without a lowercase extension (e.g .WAV) (thanks @YurySolovyov)
- Fix playback rate and volume not setting correctly on startup
- Fix play/pause global shortcut
- Fix error notification appearing on start-up when the auto-update checker fails
- Fix default volume value
Under the hood
