What's new in Musique 1.7

Jun 25, 2023
  • Just a quick note to announce Musique 1.7. This release fixes missing artist images. These pics were previously taken from the Last.fm API which unfortunately stopped offering this feature. Musique now uses the Discogs API to fetch artist images.

New in Musique 1.6 (Apr 3, 2019)

  • Musique 1.6 introduces Genres. A new tab will show your music library automatically organised by genres, subgenres and decades. For example, you’ll see a Rock item. If you double-click it you will a get a list of subgenres like Alternative and Grunge. In this example, if you play the Rock item you will play all rock songs including Alternative and Grunge.
  • Musique now supports macOS Mojave Dark Mode. This also helps with dark themes on Windows and Linux.
  • Under the hood there are big changes. MPV is the new multimedia engine. Gapless playback is definitely better than before for file formats that support it. All other libraries such as Qt and Taglib have been updated to the latest version.
