Surco changelog — What's new in each release

What's new

The highlights of every release, without the noise. The features that change how you prep your music, version by version.

v0.11June 12, 2026

Apple Music, always in sync

Apple Music sync: re-converting an edited track updates its library copy — tags and artwork — instead of duplicating it.
New “Update in Apple Music” and “Show in Apple Music” actions in the editor; if you deleted the library copy, Surco imports it again.
Click the artwork to view it full size, at its real resolution — embedded art is pulled from the original file, not the thumbnail.
The field menu now also transforms text: Title Case, lowercase or UPPERCASE in one click.
While a track plays, the Dock icon animates with a sound wave.

v0.10June 11, 2026

Your edits never get lost: typing while Surco is still reading a slow file, or while auto-match is querying Discogs, always keeps what you typed.
Much lighter with big crates: covers are kept as thumbnails (converted files still get the full-resolution art) and memory stops growing over long sessions.
Browsing the list feels smoother: BPM, key and loudness analyses wait until you rest on a track, and the one you're looking at always jumps ahead of the ones you left behind.
Every editor field can insert another field's value (artist into composer, title into comment…) from its own menu.
An amber dot marks tracks edited after converting, so you can see at a glance what still needs an update.
The Discogs search remembers what you typed on each track, shows a loading skeleton, and can be retried when it fails.
Names with a leading track number ("104. Artist - Title") now import with the right artist and title.
Adding several tracks to Apple Music shows its progress and can be cancelled; and when saving settings or trashing a file fails, Surco says so instead of failing silently.
Fixed: tracks whose cover was the file's own embedded art converted and landed in Apple Music with no artwork.
The player shows a loading indicator when audio takes a moment to arrive (for example, from a network drive).

v0.9June 10, 2026

New metadata fields: composer, ISRC, mix, original year and a compilation flag. The composer fills itself from the Discogs writing credits.
The quality dot now grades three levels — green, amber and red — so a low-bitrate MP3 dressed up as lossless stands out, with an indicator while the spectrum is analyzed.
A button to clear all of a track's metadata, next to fill-from-filename.
Each list row shows its source format (WAV, FLAC, MP3…) so what still needs converting is obvious at a glance.
Start over in the context menu rebuilds a track from its original file.
The Apple Music check also looks up the Discogs-suggested title, catching library copies saved under the canonical name.

v0.8June 10, 2026

BPM and key detection: Surco analyzes every track and suggests the tempo and key as one-click chips, in the key notation you prefer.
Surco is now free forever: licensing and limits are gone. If it saves you hours, you can support it with a donation from the Stats tab.
New conversion destination that overwrites the original file, with a confirmation before a batch.
Text search and sorting in the track list, with album-art thumbnails on every row.
The settings folder is configurable: point it at iCloud Drive or Dropbox to share your preferences across Macs.
A shortcut to switch the interface language between English and Spanish on the fly.
A slim progress bar in the header for long background sweeps.

v0.7June 9, 2026

The welcome wizard now sets up your output folder, visible and required fields, and teaches you to read the spectrum with a live preview.
New “Apple Music only” destination: the track lands in your library without leaving a copy in the output folder.
Full accessibility pass: the whole app works from the keyboard, plays well with screen readers and meets WCAG AA contrast.
Regenerate a file name in one click using the pattern from Settings.
Open audio files straight from Finder’s “Open With” menu.
New blue spectrogram palette that’s easier to read.

v0.6June 8, 2026

Auto-match: Surco looks your tracks up on Discogs and applies only high-confidence matches, on import or with a toolbar sweep.
Export your collection as a rekordbox (XML) or Traktor (NML) library.
Batch quality triage: analyze the whole list at once, badge every track with its verdict and filter the suspect rips.
Customizable keyboard shortcuts with clash detection and native menus that update themselves.
Per-track properties panel (codec, bit depth, bitrate, tag formats) and a rename dialog built from metadata chips.
Redesigned icons and tooltips across the app.

v0.5June 6, 2026

Rate your tracks with stars; they’re written as tags Traktor, Windows Media Player and foobar2000 understand.
Pick the cover from every image the Discogs release has.
Artwork resolution is always visible and low-quality covers get flagged with a colored dot.
New Discogs release id field in the editor.

v0.4June 6, 2026

Loudness analysis (LUFS) and optional normalization that preserves your Traktor cues.
Right-click context menu on tracks and search inside the list.
Cancel a batch conversion mid-run.
Configurable default genres applied with one click.
Optionally send the original file to the Trash after converting.

v0.3June 5, 2026

Multi-selection with bulk editing of shared fields.
Match a whole Discogs release against your files, pairing each track by duration.
Find & replace across every track’s tags, with regular expressions.
Fill tags from the file name in one click.
M4A/AAC, Opus and Ogg Vorbis now accepted as input formats.
The naming pattern supports subfolders to organize the output.

v0.2June 4, 2026

More robust importing: hidden files and macOS leftovers are skipped when dropping folders.
Better tag reading on files with embedded pictures.
