Releases: Taiko2k/Tauon
v3.0.2
v3.0.1
Changes:
- Added ListenBrainz support.
- Fixed and upgraded queue interface.
- Simplified Last.fm settings to be less confusing. Now behaves more like other players.
Previously it was disabled until explicitly enabled with option to do this automatically, now is enabled until explicitly paused or disabled.
- Bug fixes.
Flatpak notice: The flatpak package now uses its own save data storage location. If you're upgrading, you'll need to copy the data files, or start with the clean slate. Sorry for the inconvenience. The old standard location is:
~/.local/share/TauonMusicBoxbut for the new location, you can find by going SETTINGS -> Function -> Open data folder (Make sure app is closed before copying)
v3.0.0
Note: Windows support has been dropped. Arch Linux and Flatpak are now the only supported platforms.
Upgrading note: Data directory has changed to
~./local/share/TauonMusicBox. Once program has been launched once after upgrading, you may then safely manually delete the old~/.tauonmb-userfolder. (You will still need to manually copy out exported playlists and encode output files if there are any you want to keep)
Flatpak note: This will not auto update. Also sandboxing is disabled.
Tauon Music Box v3 now released!
I'm excited to bring you the latest version of Tauon Music Box. For this major 3.0 version; three big new features have been added that I hope you'll enjoy!
New playlist side panel
The issue of managing many playlists has been largely solved with a new toggle-able side panel.
The top panel has undergone a slight paradigm shift too... Tabs now only show if they are pinned
Artist info panel
A new fixed width artist information panel is now available.
This panel sits above the main playlist view and automatically scraps artist data from last.fm for the currently playing artist.
Download monitor indicator
Now you can import your new downloads to the current playlist in just a single click. If a playlist named "Downloads" is available, this playlist will be switched to automatically.
To enable this you need to have the
extract and trash archivesoption also enabled
Also in this release
- The search algorithm has been tweaked. Hopefully this should bring you more relevant results faster.
- Many other fixes and UI tweaks
Note: HiDPI (2x) support is unavailable this release. If you use this feature, feel free to tell me about it and ill try refocus development in this direction.
v2.8.3
Main Changes
Improved last.fm love integration
This release adds a love track option to the track context menu, plus numerous fixes behind the scenes.
There is now a display option to show love hearts for loved tracks next to the track time. In addition, loves of your last.fm friends can be shown too!
Experimental Quick Import function
This release adds a quick import function to the key F8
Pressing this will scan your downloads folder for archives and recent folders and automatically attempt to import them to the current playlist.
This way you can go straight to Tauon Music Box after downloading something using your web browser, no need to open a file or archive manager.
Warning Depending on settings used this function may cause data loss, make sure only to use this if you don't mind the possibility losing things from your downloads folder
Other bug fixes and UI tweaks
The following critical bugs were fixed:
- Rename tracks text entry triggering search
- Deleting playlists causing crash when broadcasting
Other improvements:
- The web server can now be started and stopped from settings without needing restart
As usual, feel free to submit any issues.
v2.8.0
Main Changes
Upgraded Search
This version of Tauon Music Box introduces a new global search feature.
This search overlay automatically activates when the user begins typing on any of the main screens.
Unlike the previous search, this search actively displays results from all playlists, searching Artist, Title and Album fields individually and attempting to return results in order of relevance.
The intention of the previous search function was to be fast, but needing to navigate playlists manually could end up taking longer and leave the user feeling frustrated. This new search lets you have all your albums at your fingertips.
For now the old search will remain in place and be referred to as 'find'.
Album Time
Also in this release is a new time display mode which displays the current time out of the whole duration of an album, instead of just the current track. Click the display time in the bottom right corner to cycle available modes.
Improved support for M4A files
Embedded album art in .m4a files will now be displayed. Album-artist and lyrics information are now read from m4a tags too.
See main readme page for instructions.
Experimental Flatpak support
This release provides a standalone flatpak for easy install across multiple Linux distros
If you are upgrading from a previous .deb install, you can uninstall using sudo apt-get uninstall tauonmusicbox. Your previous configuration and data files will remain in place.
Note that this experimental install method may change or may no longer be included in future releases.

Other Changes:
- Transcodes can now be cancelled with Ctrl+C shortcut.
- Other bug fixes and UI tweaks
