- LosslessConversionQuality model with bit depth/sample rate caps,
applied only when they reduce source quality
- FFmpegService probes sample rate and appends codec-specific args
(-ar, -sample_fmt, -bits_per_raw_sample) for FLAC/ALAC/WAV/AIFF
- Batch + single-track convert sheets expose quality cap options
- Persist real converted bit depth/sample rate to history/library DB
- track_metadata: recognize and convert to WAV/AIFF targets
- convertedAudioQualityLabel reflects actual output quality
Decrypt AC-4 via the FFmpeg mov muxer with a -f mov fallback, then repair the output to a standards-compliant ISO MP4: inject the dac4 config box from the encrypted source, normalize the QuickTime container/sample entry, and write iTunes metadata (incl. cover and lyrics) natively. Codec-keyed and generic, so it applies to any extension that returns AC-4 streams. Wired through PlatformBridge/MainActivity for both SAF and local decrypt paths.
Write R128_TRACK_GAIN/R128_ALBUM_GAIN (Q7.8, ref -23 LUFS) alongside the existing REPLAYGAIN_* tags for .opus files so spec-compliant Opus players (RFC 7845) apply gain. Covers per-track and album embed during download (incl. SAF) and standalone re-scan.
FFmpeg's MP4 muxer drops ISRC and label, so write them as iTunes freeform atoms natively after every M4A embed pass. The metadata screen now reads all edited fields from the file on load (file is the source of truth), fixing edited values reverting to stale cached values after reopening.
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.
- Rename downloadProviderMatchesBuiltIn -> downloadProviderReplacesLegacyProvider
- Rename Tidal DASH ffmpeg helpers and lossy format pickers to generic names
- Add utils.decryptCTRSegments crypto API + raw/bytes file read path in extension runtime
- Update l10n strings/descriptions to drop hardcoded service names
- Bump version to 4.5.7+134
FFmpeg doesn't always embed lyrics correctly to MP3 files. This adds
manual ID3v2.3 USLT (Unsynchronized Lyrics) frame writing after FFmpeg
metadata embedding to ensure lyrics are properly stored.
Implementation:
- Extract lyrics from metadata (UNSYNCEDLYRICS or LYRICS key)
- Build ID3v2.3 compliant USLT frame with UTF-16LE encoding
- Insert or replace USLT frame in existing ID3v2.3 tag
- Create new ID3v2.3 tag if file has no ID3 header
- Skip gracefully for unsupported ID3 versions or flags
Also includes minor audio analysis improvements:
- Consistent dynamic range calculation (peak - rms)
- Filter out 'unknown' and 'n/a' labels
- Add -vn -sn -dn flags for more robust stream selection
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.
Downloads from providers that stream FLAC inside an fMP4 container (e.g. Amazon Music) were being written to disk with a .flac extension while the payload still carried ISO-BMFF atoms. The container-conversion guard then saw codec=flac and skipped the remux, leaving native FLAC tag writers to fail with 'fLaC head incorrect'.
Force '-f flac' on the decryption command whenever the target extension is .flac so FFmpeg emits a real FLAC stream, and add an 'fLaC' magic-byte probe on both the Dart and Kotlin container-conversion guards so a FLAC-in-MP4 source is remuxed rather than silently passed through as a tag-writer hazard.
The native-worker container conversion used to remux any .m4a download to .flac whenever the user requested a FLAC output, which silently upgraded lossy AAC streams to a FLAC container without adding any information. Guard the remux with an FFmpeg/FFprobe codec probe on both the Dart and Kotlin finalization paths so only genuinely lossless sources (ALAC, WavPack, PCM, etc.) are converted, and expose a requires_container_conversion capability so extensions can force conversion when they know the source is lossless.
When the native worker result advertises a requested non-FLAC output extension (for example '.m4a'), skip the m4a-to-flac container conversion in both the Dart and Kotlin finalizers so the native output container is preserved end-to-end.
- ffmpeg_service: propagate the top-level 'output_extension' hint into the download-result descriptor for both the map-backed and legacy paths; expose a normalized getter for consistent comparisons.
- download_queue_provider: short-circuit the native-worker container-conversion step when the descriptor's requested extension is not '.flac', with a debug log describing the skip.
- NativeDownloadFinalizer: mirror the guard on the Kotlin side so the finalizer does not force a container conversion that would clobber the requested native output.
- Tidal: use actual API track_number/disc_number when request values are 0
(fixes search/popular downloads having no track position in metadata)
- Extension enrichment: copy TrackNumber/DiscNumber back from enriched results
- Extension fallback download: add request metadata fallback for non-source
extensions (Album, AlbumArtist, ReleaseDate, ISRC, TrackNumber, DiscNumber)
- FFmpeg: add -v error -hide_banner to all commands (embed, convert, CUE split)
to eliminate banner, build config, and full metadata/lyrics dump in logcat
- ebur128: add framelog=quiet to suppress per-frame loudness measurements
while keeping the summary needed for ReplayGain parsing
- Track metadata screen: separate embedded lyrics check from online fetch,
show file-only state with manual online fetch button
ReplayGain (track + album):
- Scan track loudness via FFmpeg ebur128 filter (-18 LUFS reference)
- Duration-weighted power-mean for album gain computation
- Support for FLAC (native Vorbis), MP3 (ID3v2 TXXX), Opus, M4A
- Album RG auto-finalizes when all album tracks complete
- Retryable gate: blocks finalization while failed/skipped items exist
- SAF support: lossy album RG writes via temp file + writeTempToSaf
- New embedReplayGain setting (off by default) with UI toggle
APEv2 tag support:
- Full APEv2 reader/writer with header+items+footer format
- Merge-based editing with override keys for explicit deletions
- Binary cover art embedding (Cover Art (Front) item)
- Library scanner support for .ape/.wv/.mpc files
- ReplayGain fields in APE read/write/edit pipeline
Bug fixes (26):
- setArtistComments wiping fields on empty string value
- APEv2 rewrite corrupting files with ID3v1 trailer
- APE edit replacing entire tag instead of merging
- ReplayGain lost on manual MP3/Opus/M4A metadata edit
- Editor metadata save losing custom tags (preserveMetadata)
- Album RG accumulator not cleaned on queue mutation
- Album gain using unweighted mean instead of power-mean
- writeAlbumReplayGainTags return value silently ignored
- SAF album RG writing to deleted temp path
- Cancelled tracks polluting album gain computation
- APE ReplayGain not wired end-to-end
- APE field deletion not working in merge
- APE cover edit was a no-op
- Album RG duplicate entries on retry
- APE apeKeysFromFields missing track/disc/lyrics mappings
- Album RG entries purged by removeItem before computation
- FFmpeg converters discarding empty metadata values
- _appendVorbisArtistEntries skipping empty value (null vs empty)
- Album RG write-back fails for SAF lossy files
- Album RG partial finalization on failed tracks
- FLAC ClearEmpty flag destroying tags on partial callers
- clearCompleted not retriggering album RG checks
- ReadFileMetadata MP3/Ogg missing label and copyright
- Cover embed on CUE split destroying split artist tags
- Album RG gain format inconsistent (missing + prefix)
- FLAC reader/editor missing tag aliases (ALBUMARTIST, LABEL, etc.)
- dart:math log shadowed by logger.dart export
Resolve API (api.zarz.moe):
- Refactor songlink.go: Spotify URLs use resolve API, non-Spotify uses SongLink API
- Add SongLink fallback when resolve API fails for Spotify (two-layer resilience)
- 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
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
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)
- Title/Artist are never overwritten by re-enrich (search keys only)
- enrichedMeta response only includes selected field groups
Frontend (Dart):
- New re_enrich_field_dialog.dart bottom sheet with checkboxes
- FFmpegService embed methods gain preserveMetadata param that uses
-map_metadata 0 instead of -1 to preserve non-selected tags
- Hide selection overlay/bar before showing dialog, restore on cancel
- Fix setState-after-dispose guard in cancel branches
Cleanup:
- Remove dead code in library_tracks_folder_screen.dart
- Fix use_build_context_synchronously in main_shell.dart
- Suppress false-positive use_null_aware_elements lints
- Update l10n label from 'Title, Artist, Album' to 'Album, Album Artist'
- Fix M4A/ALAC scan silently failing on Samsung by adding proper fallback
to scanFromFilename when ReadM4ATags fails (consistent with MP3/FLAC/Ogg)
- Propagate displayNameHint to all format scanners so fd numbers (214, 207)
no longer appear as track names when /proc/self/fd/ paths are used
- Cache /proc/self/fd/ readability in Kotlin to skip failed attempts after
first failure, reducing error log noise and improving scan speed on Samsung
- Fix Qobuz download returning wrong album cover when track exists on
multiple albums by preferring req.CoverURL over API default
- Fix FFmpeg M4A metadata save failing with 'codec not currently supported
in container' by forcing mp4 muxer instead of ipod when cover art present
- Clean up FLAC SAF temp file after metadata write-back (was leaking)
- Update LRC lyrics tag to credit Paxsenix API
- Remove log message truncation, defer to UI preview truncation instead
- Add artist_tag_mode setting (joined / split_vorbis) for FLAC/Opus multi-artist tags
- Split 'Artist A, Artist B' into separate ARTIST= Vorbis comments when split mode is enabled
- Join repeated ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST Vorbis comments when reading metadata
- Propagate artistTagMode through download pipeline, re-enrich, and metadata editor

- Add initial progress snapshot on library scan stream connect
- Use req.ArtistName consistently for Qobuz downloads instead of track.Performer.Name
- Add l10n keys for artist tag mode, library files unit, and scan finalizing status
- Introduce coverCacheKey parameter through Go backend and Kotlin bridge for stable SAF cover caching
- Add MetadataFromFilename flag to skip filename-only metadata and retry via temp-file copy
- Add Qobuz album-search fallback between API search and store scraping
- Extract buildReEnrichFFmpegMetadata to skip empty metadata fields
- Add metadata completeness filter (complete, missing year/genre/album artist)
- Add sort modes: artist, album, release date, genre (asc/desc)
- Prune stale library cover cache files after full scan
- Skip empty values and zero track/disc numbers in FFmpeg metadata
- Add new l10n keys for metadata filter and sort options
Add FFmpegService.embedMetadataToM4a() for writing tags and cover art
into M4A files via FFmpeg. Fix two bugs in the same function:
- Remove '-disposition:v:0 attached_pic' which is only valid for
Matroska/WebM containers and causes FFmpeg to error on MP4/M4A
- Apply same fix to _convertToAlac which had the identical issue
Add M4A handling (isM4A branch) to all four embed call-sites:
track_metadata_screen (lyrics embed, re-enrich, edit metadata sheet,
format conversion), queue_tab, local_album_screen, and
downloaded_album_screen.
Add 'LYRICS'/'UNSYNCEDLYRICS' to _mapMetadataForTagEmbed so existing
lyrics survive a re-enrich cycle on M4A/MP3/Opus files.
Preserve existing lyrics before overwriting tags in the edit metadata
sheet (best-effort readFileMetadata before FFmpeg pass).
Extract mergePlatformMetadataForTagEmbed() into lyrics_metadata_helper
to deduplicate the identical metadata-mapping loops that existed in
queue_tab, local_album_screen, downloaded_album_screen, and
track_metadata_screen.
Wire ensureLyricsMetadataForConversion into the format conversion path
in track_metadata_screen so lyrics are carried through conversions.
Add ISRC and LABEL/ORGANIZATION mappings to _convertToM4aTags.
Exclude same-format and lossy-to-lossless targets from the batch
convert sheet so users cannot pick pointless conversions like
FLAC→FLAC. Also clean up redundant inline comments.
- Use -map_metadata 0 instead of -map_metadata -1 so FFmpeg copies and
auto-remaps source tags (M4A/ID3 → Vorbis comments) as a base
- Add _normalizeToVorbisComments() to filter technical fields (BIT_DEPTH,
SAMPLE_RATE, DURATION) and normalize key variations to standard Vorbis
comment names before applying overrides
- Switch cover art embedding from METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE base64 (unreliable
on Android due to command-line length limits) to -i cover -map 1:v
-disposition attached_pic (same proven approach as embedMetadata and
_convertToAlac)
- Drop zero-value track/disc numbers from override map to prevent
clobbering source metadata with '0' from Go readFileMetadata
- Add _convertToAlac() and _convertToFlac() in ffmpeg_service with
single-pass FFmpeg encoding, metadata tags, and cover art embedding
- Wire lossless formats (ALAC, FLAC) into single-track convert sheet
with dynamic format list based on source format, hidden bitrate for
lossless targets, and lossless hint text
- Add lossless conversion to batch convert UI in downloaded_album,
local_album, and queue_tab screens with lossy-source filtering
- Fix M4A quality probe in Go backend: increase audio sample entry
buffer from 24 to 32 bytes, read sample rate from correct offset
(bytes 28-29) and bit depth from samplesize field (bytes 22-23)
- Add l10n keys for lossless confirm dialogs and hints (en, id)
Parse .cue files in library scanner (Go + SAF) to display individual
tracks instead of one large audio file. Add FFmpeg-based CUE splitting
to extract tracks into separate FLAC files with embedded metadata and
cover art.
- Go: CUE parser, two-pass scan (CUE first, skip referenced audio),
virtual paths (cue#trackNN) for DB UNIQUE constraint, audioDir
override for SAF temp-file scenarios
- Android: SAF scanner recognizes .cue in both full and incremental
scan, copies .cue+audio to temp for Go parsing, unchanged-CUE audio
sibling dedup, parseCueSheet handler resolves SAF audio siblings
- Dart: FFmpegService.splitCueToTracks, CUE split UI in track metadata
screen, persistent output dir for SAF splits with write-back
- CUE virtual path normalization across fileExists/fileStat/deleteFile/
openFile; play/share/open blocked for virtual tracks with guidance to
split first; delete only removes DB entry, not shared .cue file
- iOS: parseCueSheet handler
- Localization: 12 new CUE-related strings
