v6.0.0

Hey, Taiko2k here. I'm super excited to bring you the latest major version of Tauon Music Box.

This new version, 6.0.0, brings 3 cool new features!

New feature: Bandcamp artist search

A convenient new quick search has been added. This feature will directly open an artists Bandcamp page if a match is found.

New feature: Transcode and Sync

This feature provides functionality of copying transcoded albums to a mounted location. This makes it a lot easier to maintain a subset of your library on your portable music player.

The way this is intended to work is you maintain a playlist of all the albums you want on your device. Then you can add and remove items and only the difference needs to be copied.

For a tutorial on how to use this feature, see here.

New feature: Playback control for Spotify

Tauon Music Box how has Spotify integration features! You can now:

• Paste Spotify URL's directly into the tracklist.
• Remote control a Spotify session.
• Import your account library and liked tracks.
• Search and import albums and artists.

For this, you will need a Spotify premium account and API key. You will also need the official Spotify desktop client installed and running (or use the web player)

For an in-depth tutorial on getting started, see here.

This is an experimental feature, let me know what you think.

Other changes:

• Added new theme selector in settings.
• Added a setting to chart generator to automatically sort a playlist by most played.
• Improved network accounts setup to no longer need manual editing of the config file.
• Added pt-BR translation (thanks @msmafra)
• Various other improvements and bug fixes.

Let me know what you think! Feel free to raise any issues if you encounter any.
