Music Hub 0.4.4

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

Music Hub 0.4.4

Improvements

  • Faster startup and navigation on large libraries — Desktop's boot maintenance (metadata cleanup, duplicate detection) no longer runs as one long blocking pass; large collections now start up and move between screens noticeably faster, without a multi-second stall after a rescan.
  • "Keep in background" while analysis runs — The Library analysis modal now has a "Keep in background" action next to Pause, so you can get back to your library while analysis keeps running, instead of only being able to wait or pause it.

Fixes

  • Inbox → Releases no longer comes back empty — A query bug could make the Releases tab of Inbox silently return nothing instead of your pending releases, on both Desktop and mobile.
  • Pausing optional analysis now actually pauses it — Pause could leave analysis still running in the background in some cases; it now stops for real.
  • A permanently failing track no longer retries forever — A track that can never analyze (corrupt file, unsupported codec) was being endlessly re-attempted instead of being left as a one-time error, wasting cycles on every pass.
  • Splash screen artwork and copy — Fixed the splash screen's reel artwork (now the same two-reel animation as the website), a badge where the accent dot was overlapping the first letter of the label, and updated the copy to "Tape Music Suite" / "Tape Music Hub".

Upgrade notes

  • Install 0.4.4 over 0.4.3 via the in-app update or the latest installer from the website.
  • No action needed for the Inbox → Releases or analysis-pause fixes — they take effect automatically after updating.
