v1.1.21 - FUTURE RELEASE

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • CUE Sheet Support Improvements Reworked CUE sheet reading in the local Media Library. CUE sheets now correctly index, and can be played back as if they were separate tracks. Scanning and re-scanning works like usual files-in-a-folder. If a CUE sheet references a FLAC file, the FLAC file will NOT be indexed as a separate item. If an audio file is not referenced from a CUE sheet inside the same folder, it will be indexed as a separate item. Existing CUE sheets will need to have libraries re-scanned to have the changes applied.
  • Playback of tracks referenced by CUE sheets Playback of tracks referenced by CUE sheets now correctly begins from the start of the track, instead of resuming from the start of the album (file).
  • Lyric-sync reworked for tracks loaded from CUE sheets Lyric-sync reworked for tracks loaded from CUE sheets. Lyrics are clickable to seek to the correct part of the song for CUE sheet loaded tracks.
  • Resume-playback has been disabled for files loaded from CUE sheets Resume-playback has been disabled for files loaded from CUE sheets.
