Version 3.23
Released August 30, 2026.
What's New
- Added Discover, a new way to wander your library one album at a time. Flip through covers with the arrow keys, narrow the shuffle down by artist, genre, or label, and play whatever catches your ear.
- Gave album pages a two-column layout that puts the cover and credits beside the track list instead of above it, so a long album no longer pushes its artwork off the screen. A toolbar button switches back to the stacked view any time.
- Added a Related tab to the inspector that turns up other albums by the same artist, on the same label, from the same year, or from whatever you were playing alongside it.
- Rebuilt the tag editor with the fields in a sensible order, a track list you can move through from the keyboard, and text boxes that stay legible against a dark background.
- Made new installs open in dark mode against true black, which suits album art better than the usual charcoal. If you have used MiniMoon before, your appearance setting is left alone.
