Update version to 1.6 in sidebar and API. Add changelog for local import, enhanced tagging, mobile layout, and performance improvements. Fix track popularity field access for upcoming Spotify API changes (February 2026).
Added an Import feature that lets users process local audio files through the existing post-processing pipeline (metadata enrichment, cover art, lyrics, library organization). Files are placed in a configurable Staging folder and imported via two modes: Album mode (search/match files to a Spotify tracklist) and Singles mode (select individual files for processing). Includes auto-suggested albums based on staging folder contents and real-time per-track progress tracking.
- Add global discovery_match_cache table to cache successful track matches
(title+artist+provider -> matched result) across all discovery sources
- Cache check before API search in YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, and Beatport
discovery workers; cache write after high-confidence matches
- Re-discovering playlists or overlapping tracks across sources skips API lookups
- Fix Spotify tab sidebar forcing 2-column grid on mobile via inline JS styles
- Add mobile responsive styles for Spotify playlist cards (stack layout vertically)
Enrich downloaded audio files with external identifiers and improved genre metadata in a single post-processing write. During metadata enhancement, the app now looks up the MusicBrainz recording and artist MBIDs, retrieves the ISRC and MusicBrainz genres from a follow-up detail lookup, merges them with Spotify's artist-level genres (deduplicated, capped at 5), and embeds everything alongside the Spotify/iTunes track, artist, and album IDs. All MusicBrainz API calls are serialized through the existing global rate limiter, making concurrent download workers safe without needing to pause the background worker. Includes a database migration adding Spotify/iTunes ID columns to the library tables.
Add optional post-download audio fingerprint verification using AcoustID.
Downloads are verified against expected track/artist using fuzzy string
matching on AcoustID results. Mismatched files are quarantined and
automatically added to the wishlist for retry.
- AcoustID verification with title/artist fuzzy matching (not MBID comparison)
- Quarantine system with JSON metadata sidecars for failed verifications
- fpcalc binary auto-download for Windows, macOS (universal), and Linux
- MusicBrainz enrichment worker with live status UI and track badges
- Settings page AcoustID section with real-fingerprint connection test
- Source reuse for album downloads to keep tracks from same Soulseek user
- Enhanced search queries for better track matching
- Bug fixes: wishlist tracking, album splitting, regex & handling, log rotation
MusicBrainz library enrichment with real-time
status monitoring and manual control.
Features:
- Status icon button in dashboard header with glassmorphic design
- Animated loading spinner during active enrichment
- Hover tooltip showing:
- Worker status (Running/Paused/Idle)
- Currently processing item
- Artist matching progress with percentage
- Click-to-toggle pause/resume functionality
- Auto-polling every 2 seconds for live updates
Backend Changes:
- Added GET /api/musicbrainz/status endpoint
- Added POST /api/musicbrainz/pause endpoint
- Added POST /api/musicbrainz/resume endpoint
- Worker tracks current_item for UI display
- get_stats() returns enhanced status data
Frontend Changes:
- New MusicBrainz button component with tooltip
- Premium CSS styling with animations
- JavaScript polling and state management
- Positioned tooltip below button with centered arrow
Files Modified:
- web_server.py: API endpoints and worker initialization
- core/musicbrainz_worker.py: current_item tracking
- webui/index.html: Button and tooltip structure
- webui/static/style.css: Complete styling (240 lines)
- webui/static/script.js: Polling and interaction logic (115 lines)
- Files downloaded from different soulseek sources carried conflicting MusicBrainz Release IDs and disc number tags that were never overwritten during metadata enhancement, causing Navidrome/Plex to split a single album into multiple entries even when folder structure and album name were identical
- disc_number is now written to file metadata (sourced from Spotify/iTunes API), overwriting stale tags from soulseek sources
- MusicBrainz IDs are now stripped during metadata enhancement so media servers group by album name + artist instead of mismatched release IDs
- The verification worker now applies _resolve_album_group() for album name consistency with the stream processor path
- Fixed source reuse retry logic: used_sources is no longer reset between retries, so a source that errors during transfer is skipped on retry and the system falls through to a normal search instead of retrying the same failing source 3 times
Added per-context-key threading lock in _post_process_matched_download to serialize access when both the Stream Processor and Verification Worker attempt to process the same downloaded file. Previously, both threads would race to move the source file via shutil.move, causing FileNotFoundError for the loser. The lock ensures the first thread completes the move before the second enters, where existing protection checks detect the file was already transferred and return early.
- Single-worker mode for album batches (sequential downloads enable clean source reuse)
- Browse API integration to list files in a source's directory
- Failed source tracking per-batch to avoid retrying broken sources
- Graduated quality scoring for upload speed, queue length, and free slots
- Track number fallback fix (uses Spotify track number instead of hardcoded 1)
- Duplicate completion guard to prevent double-decrement of active worker count
- Dedicated logging for source reuse and post-processing diagnostics
When downloading an album/EP, perform a single album-level search on Soulseek to find a user with the complete album folder before falling back to per-track search. This improves album completion rates and ensures consistent quality across tracks.
Add a /callback Flask route (port 8008) that handles Spotify OAuth token exchange, mirroring the existing HTTPServer handler on port 8888. This allows users behind a reverse proxy to point their Spotify redirect_uri at the main app.
Root cause: When album downloads completed, the frontend immediately closed
the modal and called /api/playlists/cleanup_batch, which deleted the batch
from memory. The wishlist processing thread (submitted to executor) would
then try to access the batch and fail silently because it was already deleted.
This explains why:
- Wishlist auto-processing worked (different timing/3-second delay)
- Manual "Add to Wishlist" button worked (different code path, before downloads)
- Album modal failed tracks didn't get added (race condition)
The fix prevents batch cleanup until wishlist processing completes:
Backend (web_server.py):
1. Mark wishlist_processing_started=True when submitting processing job
2. Mark wishlist_processing_complete=True when processing finishes
3. Block cleanup endpoint if processing in progress (return 202)
Frontend (script.js):
4. Handle 202 response and retry cleanup after 2-second delay
This eliminates the race condition while maintaining async processing and
ensuring all failed/cancelled tracks are properly added to the wishlist.
Issue: Tracks marked as failed or cancelled in the download missing tracks modal
were not being automatically added to the wishlist on completion, despite manual
"Add to Wishlist" button working correctly. Modal completed silently without
mentioning wishlist.
Root cause: Line 549 in web_server.py was calling _on_download_completed() with
wrong parameters - missing batch_id. This caused the completion handler to look
up wrong batch, return early, and never process failed tracks to wishlist.
The bug affected downloads that complete via monitor detection (YouTube, Soulseek)
since the monitor loop calls this function when it detects completed transfers.
Fix: Added missing batch_id parameter to _on_download_completed() call on line 549.
Changed:
_on_download_completed(task_id, success=True)
To:
_on_download_completed(batch_id, task_id, success=True)
Tested: Automatic wishlist addition now works correctly for failed/cancelled tracks.
Frontend: treat discover_album_ playlists as Album Downloads to ensure proper folder structure for Recent Releases.
Backend: inject explicit album context into Wishlist download tasks to force Artist/Album/ grouping instead of flat file handling.
Library page was using album data from discography listing while Artists page used track.album from API. With iTunes, these could have different track counts, causing different album_type classifications.
- Updated handleAddToWishlist to use track.album data like Artists page does
- Added album_type copying to owned releases in merge_discography_data
- Display "Apple Music" instead of "Spotify" in UI when iTunes is active source
- Enhanced connection test messages to indicate Spotify config/auth status
- Fixed similar artists requiring Spotify re-scan when Spotify becomes available
- Fixed hero slider buttons failing for iTunes-only artists
- Updated activity feed items to show correct source name dynamically
When Spotify is enabled after populating similar artists with only iTunes IDs, the freshness check now detects missing Spotify IDs and triggers a refetch. This fixes the Discover page not showing data when switching from iTunes-only mode.
- Add similar artists fetching to web UI scan loop
- Add database migration for UNIQUE constraint on similar_artists table - Add source-agnostic /api/discover/album endpoint for iTunes support
- Fix NOT NULL constraint on discovery_recent_albums blocking iTunes albums
- Add fallback to watchlist artists when no similar artists exist
- Add /api/discover/refresh and /api/discover/diagnose endpoints
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff for iTunes API calls
- Ensure cache_discovery_recent_albums runs even when pool population skips
- Fix platform detection to include is_listenbrainz_playlist check when generating fix buttons
- Update openDiscoveryFixModal to check both listenbrainzPlaylistStates and youtubePlaylistStates
- Update searchDiscoveryFix to detect discovery_source and use appropriate search API
- Add /api/itunes/search_tracks endpoint for manual track search when using iTunes source
- Update selectDiscoveryFixTrack state lookup to include ListenBrainz
Fix button now works correctly for all platforms (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) with both Spotify
and iTunes discovery sources.
- Update _search_spotify_for_tidal_track to accept use_spotify and itunes_client parameters for dual-source
support
- Update _run_tidal_discovery_worker to check is_spotify_authenticated() and fall back to iTunes when Spotify
unavailable
- Update _run_beatport_discovery_worker with same iTunes fallback pattern
- Add discovery_source field to state and results for frontend awareness
- Activity messages now indicate which provider (SPOTIFY/ITUNES) completed discovery
All four discovery modals (YouTube, ListenBrainz, Tidal, Beatport) now support the dual-source architecture:
Spotify preferred, iTunes fallback.
Implement dual-source architecture where iTunes serves as always-available
primary source and Spotify as preferred source when authenticated.
- Make watchlist scans provider-aware (manual and auto paths)
- Update discovery pool population to process both sources
- Update recent albums caching for both sources
- Create source-specific curated playlists (Fresh Tape, Archives)
- Add on-the-fly iTunes ID resolution for similar artists
- Add iTunes ID check to similar artists freshness validation
- Fix sqlite3.Row compatibility in personalized playlists
- Fix iTunes ISO 8601 date format parsing
- Update API endpoints to serve source-appropriate data
This ensures the app remains fully functional if Spotify becomes
unavailable (rate limits, auth issues, bans) by seamlessly falling
back to iTunes data that has been building in parallel.
Implements lazy loading of artist images in search results, artist pages, and similar artist bubbles to improve performance and user experience. Updates the iTunes client to prefer explicit album versions and deduplicate albums accordingly. Adds a new API endpoint to fetch artist images, and updates frontend logic to asynchronously fetch and display images where missing.
Adds iTunes fallback to SpotifyClient for search and metadata when Spotify is not authenticated. Updates album type logic to distinguish EPs, singles, and albums more accurately. Refactors watchlist database methods to support both Spotify and iTunes artist IDs. Improves deduplication and normalization of album names from iTunes. Updates web server and frontend to use new album type logic and support both ID types. Adds artist bubble snapshot example data.
Introduces iTunes artist ID support to WatchlistArtist and database schema, enabling proactive backfilling of missing provider IDs (Spotify/iTunes) for watchlist artists. Updates WatchlistScanner to use MetadataService for provider-agnostic scanning and ID matching, and modifies web_server to support scans with either provider. Includes new database migration and update methods for iTunes and Spotify artist IDs.
Changed stuck flag detection for wishlist and watchlist auto-processing from 2 hours to 15 minutes for faster recovery. Updated log messages and related logic to reflect the new timeout and display stuck duration in minutes. Also updated wishlist stats to use the improved stuck detection function.
Added backend support for reporting current auto-processing state and cycle in the wishlist stats API. Updated frontend to detect and handle auto-processing start, close modals, and notify users, as well as improved countdown timer updates and conflict handling when starting manual processing.
Refactored wishlist and watchlist auto-processing scheduling to use atomic timer updates and retry logic, preventing stuck timers and improving reliability. Removed excessive debug logging and improved error handling throughout related functions. Added checks to prevent concurrent wishlist processing and ensured timer state is managed consistently.
Added logic to remove duplicate tracks based on their Spotify track ID during both the sanitization and category filtering steps in get_wishlist_tracks(). This ensures the frontend receives a deduplicated list and improves data consistency. A warning is printed if duplicates are found and removed during sanitization.
Enhanced wishlist and watchlist processing to deduplicate tracks during both sanitization and filtering, preventing duplicate downloads and processing. Added explicit resets of next run timer variables to ensure accurate scheduling after each cycle. Updated countdown timer display in the UI to show '0s' when timer reaches zero instead of hiding it.
Introduces new filters for live versions, remixes, acoustic versions, and compilation albums to the watchlist artist configuration. Updates the database schema, backend API, and web UI to support these options, allowing users to customize which content types are included for each artist in their watchlist.
