Happy spooky season! 🎃

This week I'm excited to bring you version 5.0.0 of Tauon Music Box!

This release adds a super new side panel view:

Folder Navigator

This panel (shown left) presents a tree style layout of folders within the current playlist. It filters the folder structure to only show you the relevant nodes in your music library!

• Single click a base folder to locate in the playlist.
• Double click a base folder to play.
• Open and close nodes by clicking.
• You can create a new playlist from an item by middle clicking. You can also drag any item to a playlist tab!
• You can also re-scan individual nodes from its context menu.

Note: This is not a full filesystem browser, but works on items already imported. It's most suited for use with playlists containing a single music collection with tracks ordered by filepath.

Experimental koel streaming support

This release adds koel as an available network source.

You can read more about koel here https://github.com/phanan/koel. Instructions on how to import the tracks into Tauon are in the wiki.

Further support for koel could be added if there is interest in this.

Also in this release:

• You can now toggle centered art mode with middle click in the right side panel.
• Dragging in tracks to the left side panel now always previews the playlists+queue view. You can also middle click the left side panel button to toggle to the previous view.
• Other tweaks and bug fixes.

v4.8.2

This release is mostly focused on refinement and bug fixes while cleaning up some functions.

Notable changes:
