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.
- Dart: _metadataMatchIsConfident now handles album-only case (title empty)
by adding albumMatches fallback branch
- Go: selectBestReEnrichTrack treats placeholder values (Unknown Title,
Unknown Artist) as empty via isPlaceholderReEnrichValue, so album-based
fallback filtering works correctly
- Add test for placeholder album fallback in selectBestReEnrichTrack
- 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
Go backend:
- Add AudioCodec field to DownloadResult and DownloadResponse
- Extension download results can now include audio_codec/audioCodec
- ffmpegGetInfo and probeAudioQuality now return codec field
- Add trackItemBytes option to file.download() for custom progress handling
Flutter:
- Check audio_codec before container conversion
- Skip FLAC conversion if source codec is lossy (AAC, MP3, Opus, etc.)
- Prevents fake upscale from lossy to lossless containers
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.
All search, metadata, and download providers are now exclusively
supplied by extensions. The built-in provider registry that previously
exposed Deezer/Tidal/Qobuz as hardcoded providers is fully removed.
Removed across Go, Dart, Kotlin, and Swift:
- BuiltInProviderSpec class, registry, and all accessor helpers
- SearchProviderAllJSON, GetBuiltInProvidersJSON, ParseProviderURLJSON,
ParseDeezerURLExport Go exports and their platform channel bindings
- Built-in provider items in search dropdown, service picker, and
provider priority UI lists
- provider_ui_utils.dart helper file
Deezer metadata enrichment (ISRC lookup, extended metadata, cover
upgrade) remains fully functional through direct DeezerClient calls
in the download pipeline — these are not part of the provider
registry and are unaffected.
Mark deezer as a retired built-in metadata provider so stale user
priority lists are cleaned up on next launch.
Introduce a service-owned download worker that offloads the full
download-and-finalize pipeline to DownloadService on Android, keeping
downloads alive independently of the Flutter UI process.
Key changes:
- Extract SAF download logic from MainActivity into SafDownloadHandler
- Add NativeDownloadFinalizer for Kotlin-side decryption, format
conversion, metadata embedding, ReplayGain, post-processing, and
history persistence
- Extend DownloadService with native queue management (start, pause,
resume, cancel) using coroutine-based worker with AtomicFile snapshots
- Add Dart-side orchestration: snapshot polling, run-id correlation,
adoption on app restart, and fallback to Dart queue
- Forward embedReplayGain, tidalHighFormat, and postProcessingEnabled
through Go backend DownloadRequest struct
- Add nativeDownloadWorkerEnabled setting with UI toggle
- Make DownloadQueueLookup collections unmodifiable
- Add Duration field to AudioQuality for FLAC (streaminfo) and M4A (mvhd atom)
- Expose duration via ReadFileMetadata and extension runtime Go-backend API
- Pass duration_ms to extension CheckAvailability for better track matching
- Fix home tab showing empty state before extensions finish initializing by
keeping the search bar visible with a loading indicator until ready
- Refactor hasSearchProvider helper to account for built-in providers
- Refine homeEmptyTitle/Subtitle copy (EN + ID translations)
- Bump version to 4.5.0+127
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.
Move qobuz cover upgrade regex to cover.go. Update Dart screens, providers,
and localization strings for the provider-agnostic UI.
Empty the builtInProviderRegistry now that all built-in providers are
retired. Introduce isRetiredBuiltInDownloadProvider and
isRetiredBuiltInMetadataProvider to classify deezer/qobuz/tidal/spotify
as retired, replacing ad-hoc string checks. Add Dart-side metadata
provider priority reconciliation that replaces retired providers with
extensions declaring replacesBuiltInProviders. Remove getQobuzMetadata
from native bridges and platform_bridge.dart. Update crowdin.yml with
additional locale mappings.
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
localization keys and accessibility labels across all supported locales.
Replace hardcoded Tidal/Qobuz switch/case with builtInProviderSpec registry
pattern. Unify searchTidalAll/searchQobuzAll into searchProviderAll,
getDeezerMetadata/getTidalMetadata/getQobuzMetadata into getProviderMetadata,
and parseDeezerUrl/parseQobuzUrl/parseTidalUrl into parseProviderUrl. Remove
extension-specific getAlbum/Playlist/ArtistWithExtension in favor of generic
getProviderMetadata routing. Extract provider UI helpers into
provider_ui_utils.dart. Preserve track_number fallback for zero-value
TrackNumber in album/playlist track lists.

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
