Usage

Indexing

Indexing organizes your music by artist -> album -> tracks by looking at the metadata of every file recursively from your selected root directory.

To get started:

• go to the settings menu,
• choose a music library folder,
• go to the the CD menu,
• scroll to the bottom,
• and press "reindex."

This process will take quite a bit of time (~1-5 sec/song, depending on the format!).

Bumper controls

Input	Action
double (2x) tap R	pause or play
double (2x) tap L	stop playback
triple (3x) tap R	next song
triple (3x) tap L	previous song

Changelog

v1.1.4

• Bumper controls for next song (triple tap R) and previous song (triple tap L).
• Fix regression of crashing on certain songs with large sample buffers.
• Fix hanging on non-main thread panics.
• Fix wrong inferred track number for files with numbers after the track number (e.g. 38 123456 Pokémon.flac).

v1.1.3

• Added auto-playing the next song in folder or album (start of song queue).
• Rudimentary theming support (custom color schemes, c.f. https://git.sr.ht/~sheepy/pomegranate/tree/main/item/meta/theming.md).
• Fixed a few home-menu and hanging related bugs.

v1.1.2

• Faster indexing on a separate thread.

v1.1.1

• Fixed console freezing on power button press and home menu.

v1.1.0

• Indexing now caches decoded 128x128 album art images. These cached album arts are instead loaded for the playback UI, with decoding the PNG/JPEG/etc. image as a fallback (much faster load times for indexed songs).
• No longer crashes when loading a folder with hundreds of files/directories.
• Updated banner.
• Fixed evil bug (thread channel deadlock, caused intermittent hanging).
• Minor bugfixes.

v1.0

• First Release.
