Bug Fixes

  • Blank page on the browser on Windows caused by missing mime types.
  • Ed Sheeran tracks being in a single album (due to their album names being only one non-alphanumeric character ... f**k Ed) you might lose some favorites though.
  • Artist and album cards being cropped
  • A lot more actually! I lost track of most of them.
