1.3.02-DEV

Personal Changes

Revamped Stats Screen

Stats will show proper time units, instead of just seconds.

• Supports Years (y), Months (M), Weeks (w), Days (d), Hours (h) Minutes (m) & Seconds (s).
• Values of 0 will be hidden (unless it's the only value), so "1y & 23s" & "0s" is possible.

Added Regional Date & Time Formats

Change how dates & time are shown.

• Use 12 Hour Clock Toggle (Off = 24 Hour Clock)
• Use MM/DD/YYYY Toggle (Off = DD/MM/YYYY)

1.3.01-dev

Personal Changes

• Added the ability to Dislike songs via the YouTube API

(This tunes your recommendations better)

• Added setting "Pre-cache Upcoming Songs" (1-5)

Changes queue caching to begin as soon as the current song is done, not when Cross-fade starts.
(Checks Downloads & Player Cache before caching a new stream)

• Added “Customize Rich Presence” to Discord Integration (for better feature parity with Kizzy)

Set the Activity Name, Details & State, use song thumbnail as activity picture (or custom), and custom buttons (defaults to "Listen Along" (link to song) & "Check Out Artist" (link to artist).
(Sometimes the first song played on app launch won't be detected. A simple Pause/Play sometimes fixes it or just wait until the next song.)

• Added QUIC | HTTP/3 support

(Quicker reconnect when switching from Wi-Fi ↔️ Cellular or from Cell Tower ↔️ Cell Tower)

• Removed Annoying Popups

(No longer be told to review the app or check out the blog)

• Checking For Updates Now Directs to This Fork

SimpMusic 1.3.0-dev

Official Changes:

• New offline error screen on Home with Retry and quick access to your downloaded music
• Show translated lyrics in yellow under the Canvas subtitle on the Now Playing screen
• Smoother DJ-style AutoMix: equal-power crossfade curve and front-loaded BPM ramp
• Longer Auto mode crossfade for more deliberate transitions (20-45s, fallback 30s)
• Apple Music-inspired redesign for Album, Playlist and Now Playing screens
• Cleaner home item layout: enforced 3-line max with subtle marquee on long titles
• Preserve original track order when loading album songs

Personal Changes:

• Added the option to download a song/video directly from the player (toggle in settings, default is off)
• Fixed descriptions of settings being cut off (particularly long ones, such as Crossfade) on some displays
• Fixed the "SAVE" & "UP NEXT" buttons on the "NOW PLAYING" screen from displaying under on-screen navigation buttons

Note:

I tested for playback errors, such as playback breaking while using the seekbar and/or music playing while not in-app (backgroud play) and didn't encounter any. (20-30 songs played in the background during my test without an issue.)

• The only "issue" I had was when my network dropped (when I left my Wi-Fi and my phone switched to mobile data) the playback paused & I had to manually resume. (I'll look into finding a way to have playback automatically resume when the connection is reestablished.)

SimpMusic 1.2.1 - Dev/Debug (Playback Fix)

Official Changes:

• Hot fix: Fallback error when changing extractor library

Personal Changes:

• Added double-tap seeking
• Added text to the right of "add to playlist" button and named it "SAVE"
• Added text to the right of "queue" button and named it "UP NEXT"
• Rename "Start Radio" to "Start Mix"
• Added the option to start mix from songs in the queue (in the three-dot-menu)
• "Start Mix" no longer restarts the song when starting a mix from the current-playing song

Backups & Imports work as-expected, if you want to continue where you left off in the official release, when using this fork.
