MusicBrainz release viewer – v1.1.0

Hi all!

v1.1.0 is here!

There are streaming link buttons for the releases that have streaming links in MB! For now, Spotify / Apple Music / Tidal / Qobuz…

Best, Gyorgy

A small update on the MusicBrainz Release Viewer: I’ve just pushed v1.2.0.

The main change is experimenting with new classical-friendly tracklist layout. The viewer now tries to recognise multi-movement works directly from the track titles and groups them accordingly: the work title appears once, with the movements listed beneath it. The idea was simply to get closer to how classical albums are usually presented in CD booklets.

Importantly, this happens without extra API calls and it leaves non-classical releases completely untouched.

The next step — already on the workbench — is displaying the composer header based on work relationships, which should make the structure even clearer for classical releases.

Still experimenting a bit, but it’s already surprisingly nice to browse classical albums this way. Feedback and odd edge cases are very welcome!
