Meld (Spotify – YouTube Music client) v0.7.2 build 17
Requirements: 8.0+
Overview: A music client that fuses Spotify and YouTube Music into one seamless experience.

What is Meld?
Meld is an Android music client that brings together the best of Spotify and YouTube Music. It uses your Spotify account to power personalized recommendations, search, and home content — while streaming audio through YouTube Music.

The name “Meld” reflects the core idea: melding two music platforms into a single, unified listening experience.

Why Meld?
● Spotify’s personalization — Your top tracks, favorite artists, and curated playlists from Spotify drive the recommendations
● YouTube Music’s catalog — Access YouTube Music’s vast library for streaming, including rare tracks, live performances, and remixes
● No setup required — Just log in with your Spotify account directly in the app. No developer dashboard, no Client ID, no extra steps
● No Spotify Premium required — Meld uses Spotify’s data APIs (not streaming), so a free Spotify account is all you need
● Built-in recommendation engine — A custom algorithm builds personalized queues using your Spotify listening history, without relying on deprecated API endpoints

✨Features
Spotify Integration
● Spotify as search source — Search results powered by Spotify, with automatic YouTube Music matching for playback
● Spotify as home source — Home screen populated with your Spotify top tracks, top artists, playlists, and new releases
● Spotify-only mode — Option to hide all YouTube-based content and show exclusively Spotify-powered sections on the home screen
● Smart queue generation — Custom recommendation engine that builds radio-like queues from your Spotify taste profile (top tracks/artists across 3 time ranges, genre similarity, popularity matching)
● Spotify library sync — Access your Spotify playlists and liked songs directly in the app
● Spotify-to-YouTube matching — Fuzzy matching algorithm with local caching for fast, accurate track resolution
● Manual match override — If a Spotify track is matched to the wrong YouTube video, you can manually fix it by pasting the correct YouTube link. The override is saved permanently and takes priority over automatic matching
● Spotify album browsing — Dedicated album screen for Spotify albums with full tracklist, metadata, and one-tap playback
● Hybrid profile cache — 3-tier data strategy (GraphQL → REST API → local DB) with persistent caching for instant home screen loading on app restart, automatic rate-limit handling, and parallel artist image enrichment
● Artist navigation — Tap any Spotify artist on the home screen to navigate directly to their YouTube Music artist page

Spotify Integration
● In Meld, go to Settings → Integrations → Spotify
● Tap Login — a Spotify login page will open directly inside the app
● Sign in with your Spotify account (email/password, Google, Facebook, or Apple)
● Once logged in, enable “Use Spotify for Search” and/or “Use Spotify for Home” — these are off by default
● Optionally enable “Spotify only” to hide all YouTube-based content from the home screen
● Go back to the home screen and pull down to refresh. Your Spotify playlists, top tracks, and recommendations should appear within a few seconds.

● Note: No developer account, Client ID, or any external setup is required. Just log in with your regular Spotify account — free or Premium.

● Important: For reliable playback, disable battery optimization for Meld in your phone settings (Settings → Apps → Meld → Battery → Unrestricted). Without this, Android may throttle the app and cause long delays before songs start playing.

What’s New:
This release introduces the first iteration of Qobuz integration, alongside a range of improvements to the Spotify and YouTube backends, the player UI, and overall stability.

⚠️ Experimental Qobuz Support
Meld now includes an experimental Qobuz backend, available under Settings → Integrations → Qobuz.

Before you get too excited: this integration is currently very unstable and should be considered a preview rather than a finished feature. Some functionality may not work as expected, playback may fail, and parts of the integration are still incomplete.

If you decide to try it, please expect bugs.

Why Qobuz?
For those unfamiliar with it, Qobuz is a music streaming service focused on high-fidelity audio quality.

Compared to YouTube Music, Qobuz offers:
● Lossless FLAC streaming
● High-resolution audio (up to 24-bit / 192 kHz where available)
● Rich album metadata and credits
● A catalog oriented toward audiophile listening

The long-term goal is to make Qobuz available as an alternative playback backend, allowing users to benefit from higher-quality audio sources within Meld.

Current Status
The integration is still in its early stages:

● Basic Qobuz support has been added
● Stability is currently poor
● Playback reliability varies
● Some content may fail to load or resolve correctly
● Expect regressions and edge cases

For this reason, the feature should be considered experimental for now.

✨ Also in This Release

Beyond Qobuz, v0.7.2 brings a number of fixes and improvements across the app.

Spotify
● Improved queue handling
● Liked Songs support
● Playlist pagination fixes
● Android Auto authentication

YouTube
● Thumbnail fallback with high-resolution artwork
● Better handling of playlist fetch timeouts

Interface
● High-resolution artwork in the player
● Improved rendering for complex-script lyrics
● MiniPlayer refinements
● New toggles to hide the “Recognize Music” and “Play Random” buttons on the Home screen (#135)

Stability
● Benign crash reports are now suppressed
● More reliable queue persistence

Feedback Needed
If you encounter issues, please open a GitHub issue and include as much information as possible:

● Steps to reproduce
● Expected behavior
● Actual behavior
● Logs (if available)

Detailed reports dramatically reduce the time required to track down and fix problems.
