Every ByTune release, newest first. Each entry lists what changed; the full notes, downloads and SHA-256 checksums are on GitHub. Follow new releases with the RSS feed, or let the app tell you: from 1.1.0 on, ByTune shows Update in its top bar when a new version is out.
ByTune 1.1.1
· A compact mini player, and a window that opens the way you left it.
- Compact mini player: a button at the top of the mini player folds it into a slim bar with the cover, the song, like, previous, play and next. Designed by @bevinkatti.
- The window remembers its size and place, and opens maximized only if you left it maximized. If its screen is gone, it opens on your main screen.
ByTune 1.1.0
· The biggest update since launch: Rooms, Spotify playlists, endless AutoPlay and updates inside the app.
- Updates inside the app: ByTune checks for new versions and shows Update in the top bar. Windows installs it in the app; a Mac opens bytune.space.
- Endless AutoPlay keeps the music going with songs that fit when your queue runs out.
- Rooms: friends hear the same song at the same moment, each on their own computer. Rooms need a free ByTune account.
- Spotify: bring a public playlist over from its link, or paste a list of songs. Connect your account to see your playlists and liked songs.
- Downloads play offline from the file, with their title, artist and cover.
- A Home that learns from the songs you finish and skip, and Explore with moods, genres and podcasts.
- Replay by week, month, year and all time, with a story card to share and a listening streak.
- Lyrics from more sources, moving covers in full screen, a new look, a 10-band equalizer (thanks @voidfant) and trackpad swipes.
- Windows: closing the window keeps ByTune in the tray with the music paused. macOS: no more "ByTune is damaged"; needs macOS 13 Ventura or later.
ByTune 1.0.1
· An output device picker, and a fixed Dock icon on the Mac.
- Output device picker: send playback to any speaker or headset. The list follows plugging, unplugging and Bluetooth pairing as they happen.
- macOS: the Dock icon shows properly again.
ByTune 1.0.0
· The production release for Windows and macOS. It reset the version line, replacing every earlier ByTune release.
- YouTube Music streaming with search, charts, moods, a queue and playlists.
- Your own music (MP3, M4A/AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, Opus) in the same library as streaming.
- Word-synced lyrics from a chain of lyric providers, with a fullscreen lyrics view.
- Replay listening history, a mini player, crossfade and playback speed control.
- Library, playlists and preferences synced through a ByTune account.
- Media keys, including double-press for the next track on headsets, and a pause when headphones are unplugged.
