🚀 Headline Features #
1. The Playback Rescue: NewPipeExtractor Upgrade #
If you noticed your streams acting up over the last few days, you aren't alone. External source changes occasionally break the pipes under the hood. We have upgraded the NewPipeExtractor to its latest version, immediately restoring broken playback stability and keeping your tracks spinning without a hitch.
2. Lyrics Are Back online #
What is a great song if you can't scream the lyrics along with it? A temporary glitch knocked out our lyrics engine, but we tracked it down and patched it up. Live lyrics are fully operational once again.
🛠️ Notable Improvements #
While this is a smaller point-release focused on stability, we also snuck in a nice treat for our desktop community:
- Crisper Desktop Aesthetics: Windows users will notice things look a bit sharper today. We have officially swapped out the old Windows app icon for a brand-new, high-resolution asset to make sure Spotube looks stunning on your taskbar and desktop shortcuts.
