(April fools release)

🎧 Liquid Playback — A Music Experience That Flows

aight listen up mate. This da change of the centry.

So like... I just updated our beloved OuterTune music app right… and suddenly it’s all liquid. I don't mean it in a metaphorically or theoretically orpoetically or theatrically or in any other fancy way, it's ass, straight up

🌊 Fluid Interface

it’s actually sloshing, yeah?? like — the UI’s got —waves n’ stuff — buttons kinda… wobblin like they’re made of jelly — or… or soup… mate I think it’s chick'n soup UI.

and every time I tap play — the album art just melts into the tracklist — like it’s all blending together— like a smoothie but for music — you ever drink a playlist?? I think I just did mate.

🎼 Powerful Library Control

and every time I tap play — the album art just melts into the tracklist — like it’s all blending together— like a smoothie but for music — you ever drink a playlist?? I think I just did mate.

and the progress bar — it’s not a bar anymore. HOLMES i cant see aint anythang now.... it's like the player gone melted into da queue. time’s fake anyway. Haters will say dis generated by gen ai but ———————— have you seen an em dash this long?

⚡ Built for Performance

The human eye can't see more than 12 fps anyways. Who cares?

• Automatic queue reshuffling is not seamless, (the player plays a few milliseconds of the wrong song before proceeding to the correct one)
• Clicking on songs in detached queue doesn't work, or skips to odd parts of the song
• Start radio will load the same radio queue twice instead of just one (it should load 50 songs, not 100)
