    Edit the details of a song, lyrics beside the player or in a tab, and the volume the Plasma applet shows.

    Added

    • Edit Details, in the right-click menu of a song in All Music or a playlist, changes the tags and the cover inside the song's file: title, artist, album, album artist, track and disc numbers with their totals, date, genre, composer, lyricist, conductor, remixer, grouping, record label, mood, comment and lyrics. Only the fields that changed are written, and tags the editor does not show stay as they were. The cover can be replaced with a JPEG or PNG image, or removed
    • Click the artist, album, year or genre in the player bar to show All Music with a search field for it, such as album:=Fierce. Clicking another album replaces that field, and clicking the same album again takes it out, leaving the other fields
    • Click the length at the end of the progress bar to show the time left, and again for the length
    • A search field with = matches the whole value, so album:=Fierce finds the album Fierce and not Sasha Fierce
    • The arrow at the top right of the Normal and Expanded player bars shows or hides the lyrics on the right of the bar. Drag the line between the controls and the lyrics to change their width
    • A Lyrics tab after All Music shows the lyrics in a bigger font. The lyrics button of the Mini player bar opens it, and so does the button beside the lyrics in the larger bars
    • Lyrics with LRC timestamps, in the tags or in an .lrc file, show the line being sung larger than the others and scroll to keep it in the middle. All lyrics show in large bold lines
    • Right-click a song in Now Playing for Edit Details and Remove from Now Playing
    • Save as a playlist, above Now Playing, saves the songs as a new playlist in the order they play
    • Songs can be opened with Strawly Music, as from Open With in the file manager, and play in place of Now Playing. Settings → Music files opens Default Applications in System Settings, where Strawly Music can become the music player for songs you double-click
    • Once a year, and when a new major version comes out, the app asks for a donation. It never asks on the first start

    Changed

    • The volume in the player bar is the app's volume in the sound server, the level the Plasma volume applet and the audio settings show for Strawly Music. Moving one moves the other, and muting in Plasma shows on the bar's volume icon. The volume set in the player bar before the update carries over
    • The Expanded player bar shows the lyrics only once its arrow shows them
    • Starting Strawly Music while it runs brings its window to the front instead of starting a second copy

    Fixed

    • A new KDE color scheme shows while the app runs. The app kept the old colors until a restart, because the Flatpak sees the desktop's settings file as it was when the app started
    • The lyrics of MP3 files show. The ID3v2 lyrics frame was never read
