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.
Introduce AppRemoteConfigService which fetches a platform/version/locale-aware JSON payload from api.zarz.moe/v1/spotiflac-mobile/config and caches it in SharedPreferences. main_shell shows a one-shot announcement dialog (respecting dismissible, CTA, time window and version gates) when no update prompt is pending; dismissed IDs are persisted so each announcement surfaces only once.
Tweaks bundled in: the service health dot loses its blur halo in favour of solid Material 3 tones, and AppInfo gains the remote config endpoint constant. The share listener and SAF migration hook stay synchronous inside the post-frame callback so share-intent URLs never race the network-bound checks.
New unit tests cover the announcement CTA/active-window rules.
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.
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.
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
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.
Also improves APK update checker to detect device ABIs for correct
variant selection and fixes Deezer artist name parsing edge case.
