TauonMusicBox Versions Save

Listen Along

This feature provides a web UI that plays what you're playing on Tauon. Its a major rework of the now removed "Outbound Broadcast" feature. Its no longer stream based, so now only works via the web interface, but has the benefit of much reduced latency.

New Mini Mode Style: Slate

Let me know what you think. It may not be final and may be changed or removed in the future. Remember you can access these mini modes by right clicking in the bottom bar title area. You can then double click the title text area to quick activate.

Also due to popular demand, we finally have it, an always on top setting for mini-mode!

Other changes

• Search overlay now includes thumbnails for track results.

Spotify Feature Update

This update re-works and updates Spotify support. Changes include improved accessibility to the import functions with them being moved to the bottom panel hamburger menu. Also included are new "Show full album" and "Show full artist" functions.

There is also now experimental support for playing audio through Tauon. Due to a technical limitation you'll need to provide Tauon with your Spotify account password to enable this setting. See MENU > Settings > Accounts > Spotify.

v7.4.7-2

Re-package for Windows. Previous build was triggering Windows Defender. Reason unknown. It does appear to be Windows Defender machine learning that triggers it, rather than an exact known match, so is quite likely a false positive. This re-build named v7.4.7-2 doesn't seem to trigger it.
