ABYZOR KEYS — Changelog

ABYZOR Keys 0.1.2 beta brings the complete DJ library preparation workflow alongside the features introduced in 0.1.1 — DJ software imports, playlist management, audio level normalization, normalized-library export, and workflow, stability, and performance improvements.

Added

DJ Software Import

• Import existing DJ libraries from the Import menu, empty-library view, or bulk action bar.
• Sources: Rekordbox XML, Serato _Serato_ folder, iTunes / Music XML.
• Imports key, BPM, playlists, ratings, cue points, and Rekordbox beat grids.
• Tracks with key and/or BPM from import are marked analyzed and can skip key/BPM analysis.
• Import wizard preview shows how many tracks skip analysis vs how many still need it.
• Rekordbox beat grid: TEMPO/Inizio → first_beat_sec + grid_mode=imported.
• First-run workflow: I use Rekordbox / Serato opens the DJ import wizard directly.

Normalize Audio Level

• New Normalize Audio Level workspace: Select → Analyze → Review → Normalize.
• DJ Library preset targeting -12 LUFS; Streaming, Loud, Very Loud, and Custom targets.
• True Peak safety, max gain boost (+4 dB default), LRA analysis, target vs achieved loudness, applied gain preview.
• Statuses: Matched, Gain Limited, Peak Limited, Failed. Normalized tracks are always new copies — originals never modified.
• Default output folder ABYZOR_Keys_Normalized; custom folder, preserve structure/metadata/artwork/filenames.
• Normalize Audio Level bulk action from the Library.

Normalized Library Export

• Playlist and Smart Set Builder exports can optionally use normalized audio copies (Use normalized audio copies, off by default).
• M3U, M3U8, CSV, Serato crates — uses normalized copies when available, falls back to originals; export status reports counts.

Library & Playlist Workflow

• Drag and drop tracks into playlists (multi-select; list and grid views); create playlist from selection.
• Send selected library tracks to Smart Set Builder; Library Explorer; playlist sidebar with create-and-drop.
• Smart Collections: re-click active collection to deselect; All Library; chips and sidebar stay in sync.
• Delete tracks with undo; import follow-up dialog for playlists; startup splash screen.

Changed

• Unified Import from Rekordbox / Serato / iTunes… wording across Settings and menus.
• First-run import messaging explains imported key/BPM can skip re-analysis.
• Smart Set Builder toolbar: more compact stacked layout; improved Existing Track picker and combo-box text.
• Consolidated post-import playlist sequencing; unified waveform energy-lane styling; lazy workspace loading for faster startup.

Fixed

• In-app feedback (frozen Windows/macOS builds) — certifi-backed TLS; success toast, confirmation dialog, ticket ID, clear errors.
• FLAC tag verification — accepts initialkey, INITIALKEY, initial_key, KEY, TKEY (Tidal and similar).
• Invalid machine IDs during feedback show a specific error instead of message too short.
• Crash when importing with an active playlist; first-import follow-up and playlist-sidebar refresh.
• License state files use atomic writes; normalize peak limiting only on positive gain boosts.
• Crash opening Normalize with saved custom output folder; Browse updates destination insight and persists correctly.
• Normalize output and playlist export share the same path resolver.

Summary: Import → Analyze → Organize → Normalize → Build Playlists → Export. Prepare your library once and spend less time correcting tracks during your set.

DJ software import improvements, in-app feedback fixes, and FLAC tag verification for Tidal and similar libraries. Recommended for Rekordbox/Serato users and anyone who hit Write Tags failures on FLAC files.

Added

• New shortcut: Import → Import from Rekordbox / Serato / iTunes… (also in Settings).
• Imports key, BPM, playlists, ratings, and cue points from DJ software XML/files.
• Tracks that already have key or BPM from import are marked analyzed and skip the key/BPM analysis queue.
• Import wizard preview shows how many tracks skip analysis vs how many still need it.
• Rekordbox beat grid: reads TEMPO/Inizio from XML → first_beat_sec + grid_mode=imported.
• On first import, I use Rekordbox / Serato opens the wizard directly.

Fixed

• In-app feedback (Windows + macOS) — Submit in Settings → Send feedback now works in installed builds (.exe / .app). HTTP client uses certifi for TLS (same as license activation). Success and error show toast + QMessageBox with fb_... reference or error message.
• Write Tags on FLAC (Tidal) — fixed post-write verification that reported mismatch key: expected Am, got (empty) while WAV in the same batch worked. Metadata read now accepts initialkey, INITIALKEY, initial_key, KEY, TKEY. Re-run Write Tags if tags were written before this fix.

Upgrade: Install 0.1.1, run DJ import before a large folder scan, re-run Write Tags on FLACs that failed verification, and test feedback in Settings (you should see a dialog with fb_...).

Initial release — DJ library preparation for Windows and macOS. Import your music, detect key and BPM, explore harmonic matches, build playlists, and generate smart sets.

Added

• Desktop app shell with six workspaces: Home, Library, Playlist, Smart Set Builder, Statistics, and Settings.
• Key and BPM detection pipeline with background analysis queue and optional enrichment (vocals, structure, mix points).
• Import analysis preset dialog after large imports — choose light mode (PC stays usable) or fast mode (~3× faster).
• Library — folder/file import, drag-and-drop, search with grammar (bpm:, key:, etc.), filter chips, list/grid views, track preview with waveform and cue jumps.
• Harmonic Explorer — Circle of Fifths and compatibility matrix with match cards and creative-mix hints (embedded in Library).
• Playlist builder (always free) — manual drag-and-drop ordering, timeline view, set stats (average BPM, energy, duration), Library-style track inspector, M3U/M3U8/CSV export.
• Smart Set Builder (Pro) — harmonic set generation with energy arc templates, table and timeline views, transition hints, boundary bars, Fast/Smart/Deep generation modes, optimize and shuffle tools.
• Mix Coach and Transition Audition (Pro, Smart Set Builder only) — set health scoring and transition preview between adjacent tracks.
• Statistics (Pro) — library summary, health panel, charts, and insights.
• Pro features: DJ ecosystem exports (Rekordbox XML, Serato, Traktor NML, Engine DJ beta), USB prep wizard, advanced review assistant, unlimited smart collections.
• Free/Pro lifetime licensing model with online and offline activation (2 devices per license).
• Smart collections (built-in Peak Time, Warmup, Closing, etc. + custom rule-based collections).
• Review queue for low-confidence key/BPM tracks.
• Library maintenance: tag manager, relink missing files, find duplicates, write metadata to file tags.
• Import library metadata wizard — Rekordbox XML, Serato _Serato_ folder, iTunes/Music XML.
• Ensemble key detection with Motor chroma integration and confidence scoring.
• Energy v2 detection, creative mix techniques, and transition scoring.
• Command palette (Ctrl+K), editable keyboard shortcuts, and shortcut cheatsheet.
• Portable Windows and macOS zip builds.
