Trove release notes & version history

Trove 1.7 — More reliable NAS playlists and playback recovery

Trove 1.7 improves remote smart playlist indexing and fixes an unexpected volume drop during playback recovery.

• Remote smart playlist indexing handles folders that cannot be accessed more reliably (Trove Pro).
• Playback recovery no longer unexpectedly lowers the volume.
• Playback diagnostics and reliability are improved.

Trove 1.6 — M3U imports, AirPlay and local diagnostics

Trove 1.6 improves playlist importing, SMB browsing and troubleshooting, with an AirPlay shortcut on iPhone and iPad.

• SMB browsing is more responsive, and playback preparation runs away from the main interface (network sources require Trove Pro).
• Optional diagnostic recording stays on your device and is off by default. Create a package to export or explicitly attach it to feedback; it is never uploaded automatically.

Trove 1.5 — Continuous shuffle and clearer Wi-Fi imports

Trove 1.5 keeps shuffle playing, improves SMB indexing and Wi-Fi import feedback, and lets you send feedback without a Mail account.

• Shuffle starts a new shuffled round when the current round ends, instead of stopping.
• SMB browsing and indexing improve timeout recovery and metadata for remote smart playlists (Trove Pro).
• Wi-Fi transfer progress and import results are clearer.
• Send feedback directly from Trove, attach diagnostics if you choose, or save a complete feedback package.

Trove 1.4 — SMB playlists, listening history and library storage

Trove 1.4 adds playlists from SMB folders, remote smart playlist indexing, Grouping and Mood tags, and listening history.

• Open an M3U playlist on an SMB share, save a network folder as a playlist, or index a chosen SMB folder for smart playlists (Trove Pro). Tracks download as needed for playback; your originals stay on the server.
• View and edit Grouping and Mood, with supported MP3 and FLAC file write-back in Trove Pro. Ratings read from files remain separate from ratings you set in Trove.
• Listening history records a play after ten seconds, or when a shorter track finishes.
• Storage shows music kept on this device, excluding external drives and network servers.
• Edit an existing SMB connection without recreating it; M3U import results are clearer.

• Connect a NAS library →
• SMB and WebDAV playback →

Trove 1.3 — Write tags to files and play through NAS folders

Trove 1.3 adds audio tag write-back, re-reading tags, smoother NAS folder playback and improvements for large music libraries.

• Write edited tags into supported FLAC, MP3 and M4A files, individually or in batches (Trove Pro). Unedited fields are preserved; unwritable files are reported.
• Re-read tags after editing files in another app. Empty file tags do not erase values you entered in the library.
• Play through a WebDAV or SMB folder with skip and shuffle (Trove Pro). Server tracks show embedded artwork and metadata; downloads preserve folders and pick up cover.jpg.
• Add albums, artists, genres, composers and playlists to the queue, or play them next.
• Improved large-library importing and browsing, folder relocation handling, accented names, crossfade handoff and Repeat One progress.

• WebDAV playback guide →

Trove 1.2 — CarPlay, a play queue and help with messy tags

Trove 1.2 introduces CarPlay on iPhone, an editable play queue, lyrics and artwork lookup, and more ways to organize your library.

• Reorder or remove upcoming songs, jump ahead, and add songs without interrupting playback.
• Look up lyrics and artwork, use cover.jpg or folder.jpg, and review MusicBrainz suggestions for song information. Automatic lookup is optional and starts off.
• Edit tags for multiple songs, browse composers, import and export M3U playlists, and move playlists, favorites and ratings with a sync file.
• Shuffle remembers its place, long tracks can resume where you stopped, and optional ReplayGain leveling reads track or album tags.
• Improved library import performance and accented text. Song-info fixes in this version update the library; file write-back arrives in 1.3.
