Active downloads now render as the first tiles of the library list/grid instead of a separate top section, with a compact Downloading header that animates in/out. Completed items hand off seamlessly via a short-lived bridge tile (with cover precache) so the song never blinks out, and the order is reversed so the soonest-to-finish sits next to where it lands.
- iOS: begin/end UIBackgroundTask while a download queue is active so in-flight downloads survive backgrounding for the limited window iOS allows
- extensions: serialize install/upgrade/remove in the Go manager (mutationMu) and in the Dart store provider to stop concurrent goja VM teardown/reload from hard-crashing the app
- main: add runZonedGuarded + FlutterError/PlatformDispatcher onError so uncaught Dart errors are logged, not fatal
- batch convert sheet: precompute localized title/label before showModalBottomSheet to avoid Localizations lookup via a deactivated context
- app: clear displayFeatures so bottom sheets/dialogs center on large/foldable screens
- edit metadata sheet: card sections, modern label-above inputs, elegant collapsible headers, removed title icon
- convert + batch convert: modern card-based sheets; shared BatchConvertSheet widget
- queue: keep selection toolbar hidden until modal close animation finishes
- 24-bit and In Library badges now use primary dynamic color
- artist skeleton: remove duplicate name/listeners lines, keep cover placeholder
- files settings: own filename-format controller in a StatefulWidget to fix use-after-dispose crash
WAV/AIFF: library scan, quality probe, native tag read/write via embedded ID3 chunk (RIFF id3 / AIFF ID3), cover art, ReadFileMetadata, ExtractLyrics, and FLAC<->WAV/AIFF conversion (PCM, bit-depth preserved via ffprobe). Treat WAV/AIFF as lossless across all convert sheets (no bitrate picker, Lossless labels) via isLosslessConversionTarget. Native MIME maps for SAF. Redesign the track metadata three-dot menu to a settings-style grouped card with a single divider above Share.
LyricsPlus (KPOE): word-by-word synced lyrics with multi-server failover, converted to enhanced LRC. ReplayGain: standalone EBU R128 (re)scan writing REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_* tags via native writers or FFmpeg, with batch action in queue/album screens and SAF support.
- Re-enrich: reject candidates that don't match title/artist/album unless exact ISRC match
- Respect settings.embedLyrics instead of hardcoding true in re-enrich flows
- Skip lyrics resolution in NativeDownloadFinalizer when not needed
- Apple Music lyrics: use direct catalog API with token scraping instead of Paxsenix search
- Support ELRC/ELRCMultiPerson/Plain formats in Apple Music lyrics response
- Add confidence check in metadata auto-fill to prevent applying wrong metadata
- Add tests for stricter re-enrich matching logic
- Extract _formatDownloadProgressLabel() for cleaner code
- Show received/total size when bytesTotal is available
- Estimate total size from progress when only bytesReceived is known
- Add text overflow handling with ellipsis
Audio Analysis:
- Add rescan capability by bumping cache version
- Display channel layout (stereo, 5.1, etc.) and bitrate
- Use astats filter for more accurate peak/RMS measurements
- Support more formats: mp4, ac3, eac3, mka, wv, ape, tta, aif
- Only report bit depth for codecs that store it (FLAC, ALAC, WAV)
- Validate cache for SAF content:// URIs
Conversion:
- Add AAC as conversion target format
- Recognize ALAC as lossless source
- Prevent accidental deletion when source and target URI match
- Store format and bitrate in database after conversion
Utilities:
- Add audio_conversion_utils.dart for centralized conversion logic
- Add isSameContentUri() helper for safe URI comparison
The HIGH-quality lossy format picker can now produce an AAC/M4A 320 kbps output alongside MP3 and Opus. FFmpegService.convertM4aToLossy/convertAudioFormat, the Dart queue pipeline, the Kotlin finalizer, and the library database format helper all route .m4a through a unified aac codec path and tag the resulting file with the M4A metadata writer. The Lossy Format setting gains a new option, and the track metadata convert dialog lists AAC next to the other targets.
Apple Music lyrics gain a 'eLRC word sync' switch (default off). When disabled the pax-to-LRC formatter strips inline word timestamps, producing line-synced LRC that is safer for players that choke on eLRC; enabling it restores the previous word-by-word behaviour. The change propagates through SetLyricsFetchOptions and invalidates the global lyrics cache on toggle.
Broad l10n migration: roughly 400 previously hardcoded English strings across queue, settings, track metadata, repo, audio analysis, setup and extension screens now live in the ARB catalog, with matching plural/placeholder forms. No behaviour change beyond localisation. Existing and new unit tests (lyrics eLRC toggle and Dart settings round-trip) pass.
Bump the history schema on both the Kotlin finalizer and the Dart database to v9, adding bitrate (kbps) and format (codec label) columns, and let the download flow fill them from backend/probe metadata so lossy downloads keep a 'AAC 256kbps' label instead of falling back to the stored placeholder. Library filtering and the track metadata screen now read format/bitrate directly from those columns, which also fixes mis-tagged quality badges after re-downloading a track at a different format.
Additional fixes bundled in: EditFileMetadata now routes ReplayGain writes through the M4A path whenever the file starts with ftyp (fixing .flac files that actually hold MP4 containers); GetM4AQuality falls back to the first trak/mdia/mdhd duration when mvhd is zero so EAC3 streams no longer report 0s; and both Kotlin and Dart reject bitrate values below 16 kbps to prevent probe noise from surfacing as '0 kbps' labels. New unit tests cover the EAC3 mdhd fallback and the mis-named M4A replaygain path.
GetM4AQuality now recognizes fLaC, alac, ec-3, ac-3, and ac-4 sample entries and parses the MP4 FLACSpecificBox so library entries carry the real codec rather than the container extension. The AudioQuality struct exposes Codec and Bitrate fields (with an estimator for compressed streams), and ReadFileMetadata publishes format + audio_codec so Flutter and Kotlin can make format decisions based on the actual stream.
Downstream: library_scan labels M4A-family items as flac/alac/eac3/ac3/ac4/m4a, zeroes the bitrate for lossless formats, and the filter UI + quality badges use the codec-derived format instead of only the file extension. Scans and SAF importers also accept .mp4 and .aac file extensions. New unit tests cover codec name mapping and MP4 FLACSpecificBox decoding.
Add a pair of floating quick-scroll buttons on the library tab so long lists become easier to navigate. The buttons sit above the bottom navigation (or the selection toolbar in selection mode), fade in and out based on the active page's scroll metrics, and share their scroll-target keys per filter mode so switching filters does not carry over the previous page's scroll state.
Prevent premature 'downloading' status before actual byte transfer
starts, and cache async provider values to avoid UI flicker during
queue library reloads.
Progress pipeline:
- StartItemProgress now initializes with 'preparing' status instead
of 'downloading'
- SetItemProgress ignores synthetic pre-download progress updates
while status is still 'preparing' (no byte data yet)
- DownloadService reads backend status field and propagates preparing/
downloading/finalizing to native worker item snapshot
- Dart progress stream maps 'preparing' to DownloadStatus.downloading
with progress 0.0 (indeterminate spinner)
Queue tab:
- Add _queueLibraryCountsCache and _queueLibraryPageDataCache to
retain last successful data during FutureProvider refetches
- Prevents empty-state flash when loadedIndexVersion bumps trigger
provider invalidation

Delete the entire Qobuz downloader implementation (qobuz.go, qobuz_test.go)
including all API clients, search, metadata, download, and track matching
code. Empty the builtInProviderRegistry now that all built-in providers are
retired. Remove Qobuz-specific exports (SearchQobuzAll, GetQobuzMetadata,
ParseQobuzURLExport) and the downloadWithBuiltInQobuz adapter. Stub out
PreWarmTrackCache and cache management since no built-in providers remain.

and localization strings for the provider-agnostic UI.
Remove Tidal from built-in provider registry (metadata, search, download,
URL parsing) and delete tidal.go. Introduce extension runtime APIs for
lyrics lookup (getLyricsLRC), ISRC existence check (checkISRCExists), and
ISRC index management (addToISRCIndex). Refactor extension download response
construction into normalizeExtensionDownloadResult/overlayExtensionDownloadMetadata
helpers with AlreadyExists support and ISRC indexing. Switch download mirrors
to DoRequestWithUserAgent for ISP blocking detection. Add 50+ new

- Remove dead code: page parser, XOR-obfuscated keys, legacy helpers
Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active

Add a bottom sheet dialog that lets users choose which metadata field
groups to update during bulk re-enrich (cover, lyrics, album/album
artist, track/disc number, date/ISRC, genre/label/copyright).
Backend (Go):
- Filter FLAC Metadata struct and FFmpeg metadata map by selected
update_fields so non-selected groups preserve existing file values
- Guard Deezer extended metadata fetch with shouldUpdateField(extra)

indicators, cancel support, and track detail display. Uses ValueNotifier
pattern to communicate progress from caller to dialog across navigator
routes.
Move hardcoded UI strings across multiple screens and the notification
service into ARB-backed l10n keys so they can be translated via Crowdin.
Adds 62 new keys covering sort labels, dialog copy, metadata error
snackbars, folder-picker errors, home-tab error states, extensions home
feed selector, and all notification titles/bodies. NotificationService
now caches an AppLocalizations instance (injected from MainShell via
didChangeDependencies) and falls back to English literals when no locale
is available.
Pass active download item ID through extension download pipeline so
fileDownload can report bytes received/total via ItemProgressWriter.
Add bytesTotal field to DownloadItem model and show X/Y MB progress
in queue tab when total size is known.
Enable strict-casts, strict-inference, and strict-raw-types in
analysis_options.yaml. Add custom_lint with riverpod_lint. Fix all
resulting type warnings with explicit type parameters and safer casts.
