GetM4AQuality now recognizes fLaC, alac, ec-3, ac-3, and ac-4 sample entries and parses the MP4 FLACSpecificBox so library entries carry the real codec rather than the container extension. The AudioQuality struct exposes Codec and Bitrate fields (with an estimator for compressed streams), and ReadFileMetadata publishes format + audio_codec so Flutter and Kotlin can make format decisions based on the actual stream.
Downstream: library_scan labels M4A-family items as flac/alac/eac3/ac3/ac4/m4a, zeroes the bitrate for lossless formats, and the filter UI + quality badges use the codec-derived format instead of only the file extension. Scans and SAF importers also accept .mp4 and .aac file extensions. New unit tests cover codec name mapping and MP4 FLACSpecificBox decoding.
Staged SAF outputs and library-scan partials now share a single naming pattern: '<name>.partial' regardless of the audio extension. The previous '<name>.partial.<ext>' form caused SAF / media-scanner to surface half-written files as valid audio.
- SafDownloadHandler: force 'application/octet-stream' MIME for staged docs and collapse buildStagedSafFileName to '<name>.partial'. Keep the legacy form behind buildLegacyStagedSafFileName and sweep both via deleteStaleStagedFiles so upgrades clean old residue.
- library_scan: add isLibraryStagingFile that skips both the new and legacy partial patterns during collectLibraryAudioFiles so residual staging files never show up in the library.
- library_scan_supplement_test: seed both legacy and new partial files and assert they are ignored by the scanner.
ReplayGain (track + album):
- Scan track loudness via FFmpeg ebur128 filter (-18 LUFS reference)
- Duration-weighted power-mean for album gain computation
- Support for FLAC (native Vorbis), MP3 (ID3v2 TXXX), Opus, M4A
- Album RG auto-finalizes when all album tracks complete
- Retryable gate: blocks finalization while failed/skipped items exist
- SAF support: lossy album RG writes via temp file + writeTempToSaf
- New embedReplayGain setting (off by default) with UI toggle
APEv2 tag support:
- Full APEv2 reader/writer with header+items+footer format
- Merge-based editing with override keys for explicit deletions
- Binary cover art embedding (Cover Art (Front) item)
- Library scanner support for .ape/.wv/.mpc files
- ReplayGain fields in APE read/write/edit pipeline
Bug fixes (26):
- setArtistComments wiping fields on empty string value
- APEv2 rewrite corrupting files with ID3v1 trailer
- APE edit replacing entire tag instead of merging
- ReplayGain lost on manual MP3/Opus/M4A metadata edit
- Editor metadata save losing custom tags (preserveMetadata)
- Album RG accumulator not cleaned on queue mutation
- Album gain using unweighted mean instead of power-mean
- writeAlbumReplayGainTags return value silently ignored
- SAF album RG writing to deleted temp path
- Cancelled tracks polluting album gain computation
- APE ReplayGain not wired end-to-end
- APE field deletion not working in merge
- APE cover edit was a no-op
- Album RG duplicate entries on retry
- APE apeKeysFromFields missing track/disc/lyrics mappings
- Album RG entries purged by removeItem before computation
- FFmpeg converters discarding empty metadata values
- _appendVorbisArtistEntries skipping empty value (null vs empty)
- Album RG write-back fails for SAF lossy files
- Album RG partial finalization on failed tracks
- FLAC ClearEmpty flag destroying tags on partial callers
- clearCompleted not retriggering album RG checks
- ReadFileMetadata MP3/Ogg missing label and copyright
- Cover embed on CUE split destroying split artist tags
- Album RG gain format inconsistent (missing + prefix)
- FLAC reader/editor missing tag aliases (ALBUMARTIST, LABEL, etc.)
- dart:math log shadowed by logger.dart export
Resolve API (api.zarz.moe):
- Refactor songlink.go: Spotify URLs use resolve API, non-Spotify uses SongLink API
- Add SongLink fallback when resolve API fails for Spotify (two-layer resilience)
- Remove dead code: page parser, XOR-obfuscated keys, legacy helpers
Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
- Fix M4A/ALAC scan silently failing on Samsung by adding proper fallback
to scanFromFilename when ReadM4ATags fails (consistent with MP3/FLAC/Ogg)
- Propagate displayNameHint to all format scanners so fd numbers (214, 207)
no longer appear as track names when /proc/self/fd/ paths are used
- Cache /proc/self/fd/ readability in Kotlin to skip failed attempts after
first failure, reducing error log noise and improving scan speed on Samsung
- Fix Qobuz download returning wrong album cover when track exists on
multiple albums by preferring req.CoverURL over API default
- Fix FFmpeg M4A metadata save failing with 'codec not currently supported
in container' by forcing mp4 muxer instead of ipod when cover art present
- Clean up FLAC SAF temp file after metadata write-back (was leaking)
- Update LRC lyrics tag to credit Paxsenix API
- Remove log message truncation, defer to UI preview truncation instead
- Introduce coverCacheKey parameter through Go backend and Kotlin bridge for stable SAF cover caching
- Add MetadataFromFilename flag to skip filename-only metadata and retry via temp-file copy
- Add Qobuz album-search fallback between API search and store scraping
- Extract buildReEnrichFFmpegMetadata to skip empty metadata fields
- Add metadata completeness filter (complete, missing year/genre/album artist)
- Add sort modes: artist, album, release date, genre (asc/desc)
- Prune stale library cover cache files after full scan
- Skip empty values and zero track/disc numbers in FFmpeg metadata
- Add new l10n keys for metadata filter and sort options
ReadFileMetadata now fills all tag fields (title, artist, album, ISRC,
lyrics, genre, label, copyright, composer, comment, track/disc number)
for M4A files using the new ReadM4ATags helper, matching the existing
behavior for FLAC, MP3, and Ogg.
scanM4AFile reads tags via ReadM4ATags instead of falling back to the
filename, and applies applyDefaultLibraryMetadata for missing fields
(consistent with FLAC/MP3 scan path).
Remove the '&& ext != ".m4a"' guard in cover cache so M4A cover art
is extracted and cached during library scans.

Parse .cue files in library scanner (Go + SAF) to display individual
tracks instead of one large audio file. Add FFmpeg-based CUE splitting
to extract tracks into separate FLAC files with embedded metadata and
cover art.
- Go: CUE parser, two-pass scan (CUE first, skip referenced audio),
virtual paths (cue#trackNN) for DB UNIQUE constraint, audioDir
override for SAF temp-file scenarios
- Android: SAF scanner recognizes .cue in both full and incremental
scan, copies .cue+audio to temp for Go parsing, unchanged-CUE audio
sibling dedup, parseCueSheet handler resolves SAF audio siblings
- Dart: FFmpegService.splitCueToTracks, CUE split UI in track metadata
screen, persistent output dir for SAF splits with write-back
- CUE virtual path normalization across fileExists/fileStat/deleteFile/
openFile; play/share/open blocked for virtual tracks with guidance to
split first; delete only removes DB entry, not shared .cue file
- iOS: parseCueSheet handler
- Localization: 12 new CUE-related strings
