Tape Music Hub desktop

Music Hub 0.3.0

Full notes for the desktop updater. This is the same release content used by the in-app What's New screen after an update.

Personal Private network for listening away from home — Your phone can reach your hub without Tailscale. The private network stays on in Settings → Remote, and pairing QR codes include your hub identity for first-time connects off Wi‑Fi.
More reliable collaborative playlists between hubs — Shared playlists sync and show covers when two Music Hub computers talk over the private network.
Clearer Connect on mobile — After you scan a pairing code, the app shows your hub ID so you can confirm you paired the right computer.
Smoother playback on the phone over the private network — Skipping tracks and scrubbing are quicker and less likely to stall, including when the hub runs on a home server.
Music Hub Network (beta) — Optional enrichment suggestions from the Music Hub Network add-on. Community add-ons show Coming soon in Settings. (testing decentralised Music Hub Network for consensus metadata exchange)
Docker + NAS hub (testing) — You can try running Music Hub on a NAS or home server with Docker. If you are interested, reach out via Settings → Talk, or check the Docker docs at https://docs.music-hub.gordo.design/docker

Phones that are not on the same Wi‑Fi as the hub can still connect and play when the private network is available.
Collaborative playlist covers load more reliably between machines that are not on the same local network.
List play/pause controls behave more consistently across track rows on desktop.

Update desktop and mobile together before relying on remote listening or collaborative playlists in this release.
Tailscale is no longer the remote pairing path in Settings. Use Personal Private network (always on) and/or your public link, then re-pair the phone from Settings if you previously depended on Tailscale alone.
Install 0.3.0 over 0.2.4 via in-app update or the latest installer from the website.
