Preview bar:
- 30s previews used to keep playing with no control once you left the album/artist/Explore
screen they started on. Moved the preview player from ExploreViewModel to an app-level
PreviewController, and added a global PreviewBar (above the mini player, on every screen)
to pause/resume/stop it. Starting real library playback cancels the preview.
Artist fan count (parity with web):
- ItunesItem carries fanCount (Deezer nb_fan); shown on search artist cards and the artist
page ("559.542 Fans" / "1,2 Mio. Fans"). Combined with the existing nb_fan sort this makes
same-name collisions (5x "Joji") resolve to the right artist on Android too.

Apple's iTunes /search returns 403 from server/datacenter IPs, which had broken global
search, charts, album/artist/single downloads and the metadata-editor autofill in
production. Everything now sources metadata from Deezer (free, no key, more requests,
returns explicit versions + real artist images + durations). Web + Android share one
source, so an artist resolves to one consistent name everywhere. Deezer results are
mapped to the legacy "ItunesItem" shape, so the UI + download flow are unchanged.
Backend:
- New backend/lib/deezer.js: lookupTrackMeta, fetchAlbumTracks, searchAlbumTracks,
fetchArtistAlbums (+ pure pickTrackMatch/mapAlbumTrack for tests).
- metadata.js drops the iTunes lookups; novasonic-server download paths (track, album,
artist, playlist enrich, spotify artwork) + autofill now use Deezer.
- Artist download uses Deezer discography (real albums only), not the iTunes album search.
- Editor autofill endpoint /api/itunes/lookup -> /api/meta/lookup; removed the dead
iTunes /search proxy and the Apple charts RSS proxy.
- backend/test/deezer.test.js: unit tests for numbering, mixed-artist album-artist
stability, explicit flags, the Japanese-title match guard (npm test; RUN_LIVE=1 for live).
Web:
- api.js search/lookups already on Deezer; charts now use Deezer /chart. Artist cards
show the real Deezer photo. Visible "iTunes"/"Apple Music" labels -> "Deezer"
(search badge, charts badge, preview bar, editor button, artist heading). SW ns-v51.
Android:
- New DeezerModels.kt with Dz* models + mappers to ItunesItem/ItunesRssEntry.
- ItunesClient is Deezer-backed (search = tracks+albums+artists in parallel; album/artist
lookups; /chart charts), same method signatures. Visible strings -> Deezer.
Docs: README, CLAUDE.md and CHANGELOG (1.3) updated; Platform Parity Matrix reflects the
shared Deezer source + Android non-local artist page.

Deletes left the removed item visible because the list loaders are cached (getPlaylists
~3 min): deletePlaylist navigated to a still-cached list, and deleteSong only reloaded
playlists. Add refreshCurrentView() — drops the API cache and re-runs the active nav
entry's loader (playlists, playlist/album/artist detail, starred, home, …). deleteSong
calls it after the delete+rescan delay; deletePlaylist invalidates getPlaylists before
navigating. Bump SW cache to ns-v46.
Also record the post-1.2 work in the 1.2 changelog (importer Enter, search single-song
+ radio, NowPlaying order, official-audio artist-metadata match, JP-katakana album
artist fix, year back-fill, delete refresh).

CHANGELOG: 1.2 entry for the post-1.1 work — web forward/back navigation, album
detail album-artist, metadata autofill "&" normalization, Android Erkunden back
re-assert + directional tab transitions, and the backend mixed-artist / album_artist
download fixes.
CLAUDE.md: album/artist download album_artist comes from iTunes collectionArtistName
(not the request/lead-single artist); client-side History router applies nsIdx on
popstate for both directions and must never pushState in the back path.
README left unchanged — the post-1.1 changes are fixes/polish, not new features.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Polish release covering Android navigation and offline resilience, download
accuracy for stylised artist names, and the lrclib lyrics-throttling fix.
Also updates the parity matrix (single-song offline downloads, player bar on all
screens) and corrects the Windows media-tile known bug — the two-element gapless
handoff was kept for skip speed, not reverted as the entry claimed.

Follow artists and get notified on new releases (iTunes/MusicBrainz/Last.fm)
and nearby concerts (reusing the existing Ticketmaster integration), surfaced
in the in-app notification bell, with a download action from the alert.

Themed/random discovery mixes (Rock/Charts/Random) that auto-download via the
yt-dlp backend, auto-delete after a configurable retention time, with an option
to keep tracks in the permanent library. Captures sources, retention, keep flow,
and open questions for later implementation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two-element gapless handoff was reverted (switching <audio> elements
still ends/starts the OS media session, so Windows rebuilds the tile).
Correct the changelog claim and add a Known Bugs entry; the real fix is MSE.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add a second <audio> element; S.audio always points at the active one and
listeners are bound to both once (handlers guard with el !== S.audio).
preloadNext buffers the next track into the standby element, and playCurrent
hands playback over to it on skip instead of swapping the source — so the
active element never empties and Windows keeps the media tile (also makes
forward skips instant/gapless).
Safety: handoff only when the standby is buffered (readyState >= 2); falls
back to the unchanged source-swap path otherwise, if there's no second
element, or if handoff play() rejects. Web-only — the native bridge path is
untouched.

Home rows get hover left/right arrows that only show for the scrollable
direction (enhanceScrollRow + initScrollRows, called from startApp);
visibility recomputed on scroll/resize/content-load.
Fix the OS media tile flicker when skipping on desktop PWA: mutate the
existing MediaMetadata in place instead of assigning a new one each track
(the replacement made Windows tear down and rebuild the tile). Action
handlers are now set once.

Space = play/pause, ←/→ = seek 5s, Shift+←/→ = prev/next, ↑/↓ = volume.
Handler lives in player.js (where _pos/_dur/seekToMs are in scope), wired
from startApp via initKeyboardShortcuts(). Ignored while typing in inputs,
and yields Space to focused buttons/links so it never double-fires.

Add PNG icons (192/512) for a crisp taskbar/Start-menu icon, drop the
portrait orientation lock so the window resizes freely on desktop, and add
a stable app id. Installs as a standalone desktop window.

loadHomeData now takes a force flag; navigating to Home via a click
(not back/forward) invalidates the home rows' API cache so they re-fetch
and the random row re-randomizes — matching the Android re-tap behavior.
CHANGELOG: note the Home-refresh fix under 1.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Warm the lrclib cache the moment a track starts (Android PlayerController
onMediaItemTransition; web onNpSongChange) so opening the Lyrics tab is
instant. Extract a DOM-free fetch helper on web for reuse.
Rewrite Android lyrics autoscroll to center on the active line's measured
position in a LazyColumn instead of a fixed line-height estimate — removes
stutter and the downward drift on wrapped lines; active line sits at a
~40%-from-top reading anchor.
CHANGELOG: fold into 1.0; drop the now-fixed lyrics known-issue note.

Promote the 0.10 changelog entry to 1.0; feature-complete across web and
Android. Android versionName was already 1.0.

Download albums/playlists to private device storage (Room + WorkManager,
HttpURLConnection streaming). New Offline tab lists groups with progress;
tapping a group opens a detail screen (cover-art rows, play/shuffle, per-song
delete from device). Downloaded tracks play from disk on every screen.
Album/playlist cards show a downloaded badge; download button resumes missing
songs. Song storage is dedup'd by ID and reference-counted on delete.
Fixes: Android 15 download crash (dropped banned DATA_SYNC foreground service);
offline detail flash-back (initial empty state no longer mistaken for deleted).
Docs: CHANGELOG 0.10 + parity matrix; condensed README Features.

- Japanese tracks stored with original names in folder/filename/tags; romaji only in sort tags
- findExistingTrack: case-insensitive, searches all album folders under artist, strips release suffix
- --max-filesize 30M + 2x duration cap on all yt-dlp calls
- iTunes collectionArtistName captured as album_artist; fixes compilation album splitting
- album_artist tag uses mainArtist (not rawArtist) so all tracks in one album are consistent
- No-duration cascade: steps 5-8 (title-only/no-filter) removed — fail cleanly like with-duration
- Autofill iTunes: fills title, artist, albumArtist, discNum (was album/genre/year/track/total only)
- Autofill MusicBrainz: fills albumArtist, discNum (was missing both)

Both iTunes/MusicBrainz autofill buttons currently fill only partial form
fields; they should populate title, artist, album-artist, album, genre, year,
track, disc, total, cover — backend endpoints must return those fields too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Artists are stored ;-separated (feat./ft. normalized away at download), and
both lookups already use the first artist. The real gap is the strict match
failing for multi-artist tracks (no fallback) plus iTunes autofill not filling
the artist/album-artist fields.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Duplicate check matches exact computed path only, so iTunes/romaji/trackNum/
album drift between runs re-downloads existing tracks. The no-duration cascade
branch lacks Mittelweg protection and grabs wrong covers (Yorushika 車窓 →
Piano Echoes Shasou).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
iTunes/MusicBrainz autofill don't fill the Album-Artist field; multi-artist
lookup splitting is inconsistent across the two endpoints (neither handles
/, feat., ft.).

Duplicate detection (filename-only), missing download size cap (52MB wrong
video), and uncaptured iTunes album artist (collectionArtistName) affecting
Navidrome grouping/sorting.

- Promote 0.7.1 → 0.8 with this session's work (Mittelweg cascade, web_music
client, clean filename, duration-filter + metadata-editor fixes, squid removal)
- Drop the patch component from all historical versions (0.7.0 → 0.7, etc.)
- Add Metadata editor and Song delete rows to the parity matrix (Web only)

Deletes backend/lib/squid.js; strips all references from downloader.js,
config.js, novasonic-server.js, docker-compose.yml, .env.example, README,

- Playlist: create (FAB + dialog), rename, delete, remove songs, cover upload/remove
- Library Albums tab: sort chips (Neueste/Älteste/A-Z/Künstler) matching StarredScreen
- ABS notification: shows current chapter title; updates live without re-buffering
- Home hero: pool now matches web (frequent(5) ∪ recentlyPlayed(5)); label MEISTGESPIELT / ZULETZT GEHÖRT
- Home: added Zuletzt gehört section (type=recent) matching web layout
- Notifications: fixed delivery bug — polling moved to NotificationStore app-lifetime scope so notifications arrive even after user navigates away from ImporterScreen
- NotificationStore.startPoll() extended with navType/navAlbum/navArtist/navId params
- Removed defunct AbsPlayerService.kt
