Build b1532v1.0.0-b1532
Kapell is now approved for App Store release and even allows 30-second previews of tracks if you don't have an Apple Music™ subscription. Artist pages are now surface where we have data and they cover everyone from rappers to engineers. We also fixed some bugs.
- +Previews, without a subscription
No Apple Music sub? No problem. Click an album or a song and get 30 seconds.
- +Credits on artist pages
An artist page now carries a Credits block, gathered from Kapell's own enrichment graph — what a person actually did across the records Kapell knows, folded by role. This is going to keep growing!
- +Sleeve credits are links
The producer, engineer, or featured player listed on an album sleeve is tappable now, and opens that person's artist page. A credit is a way into the catalogue, not just a line of text.
Crate playback has been improved. An acknowledged bug in macOS (`FB23707746`) caused mixed catalog and library queues to silentry drop songs. We've now got an overly complicated, segmented queue abstraction to handle that until a fix comes.
Preview playback no longer pauses between tracks — the whole tail is queued up front, so one preview runs straight into the next.
Your content-rating preference governs previews too.
Fixed some style differences in the Crate view, as it uses a different component.
- ✓
Sometimes now-playing art would jump a few pixels. De-janked that by allocating fixed space for the now-playing icons.
- ✓
The Crate playhead no longer stutters as it moves down the list.
