The previous logic checked total album count (< 10) to decide whether
to compare "X" vs "The X" variants. This failed for artists like
"Traveling Wilburys" (19 total albums, but 0 studio albums).
Now we:
1. Always count studio albums for the initial match
2. If studio albums < 10, search for "The X" variant
3. Compare studio album counts
Example fix:
- "Traveling Wilburys": 19 total, 0 studio albums
- "The Traveling Wilburys": 17 total, 6 studio albums
- Now correctly prefers "The Traveling Wilburys"
When comparing "X" vs "The X" variants, now fetches actual albums
and counts only studio albums (main discography) instead of total
album count. This filters out:
- Tributes (albums by other artists)
- Compilations (greatest hits, best of)
- Unofficial releases (bootlegs, broadcasts)
- Live albums
- EPs and singles
Uses the same categorization logic as the frontend (qobuzAdapters.ts).
This provides cleaner matching, e.g., "The Beatles" with 200+ studio
albums vs "Beatles" tribute compilation with 2 albums.
MusicBrainz often returns names without "The" prefix (e.g., "Beatles",
"Traveling Wilburys") but Qobuz has both variants, with the prefixed
version being the legitimate artist.
New matching logic:
1. Search for exact name match first
2. If no exact match, check for "The X" variant in results
3. If match has <5 albums, search for "The X" specifically and compare
4. Prefer the variant with more albums (likely the real artist)
This fixes navigation to "The Beatles", "The Traveling Wilburys", etc.
Show "Looking up {name}..." toast when clicking on musician links
to provide feedback while the backend resolves the musician.
Also show error toast if lookup fails.
Groups/bands in the sidebar now use the musician resolution flow.
Since bands typically have Qobuz artist pages, they resolve as
confidence=3 (Confirmed) and navigate directly to the artist page.
Wire up onMusicianClick for Members & Former and Collaborators
sections in ArtistDetailView sidebar. Clicking a member now triggers
the musician resolution flow (modal for weak confidence, musician
page for contextual, or artist page for confirmed).
Uses the first role from MusicBrainz relationships or defaults to
"Band Member" / "Collaborator" as the role parameter.
AlbumSummary only has id, title, image, and label fields.
The code was incorrectly trying to access artist and
release_date_original which only exist on the full Album struct.
- Use track.performer for artist_name instead of album.artist
- Set year to None since AlbumSummary doesn't have release_date
- Fix image access since ImageSet is direct field, not Option
- Fix title access since String is direct field, not Option
AlbumCreditsModal:
- Add onMusicianClick prop
- Update handlePerformerClick to pass name and role
- Falls back to onPerformerSearch if onMusicianClick not provided

- Pass role from groupedCredits to handler
+page.svelte:
- Pass handleMusicianClick to both modals

- Appears On section with album grid (Qobuz only)
- Pagination with Load More button
- Album cards with artwork, title, artist, year, and role badge
- Click album to navigate to album detail
Informational modal for musicians with confidence level 0-1:
- Shows musician name and primary role
- Lists known bands/projects (from MusicBrainz)
- Displays explanatory copy based on confidence
- Provides CTA to Artist Page if applicable
- Does NOT show albums, tracks, or deep navigation
- Closes on Escape key or backdrop click
- Add mbAvailable state to track MusicBrainz availability
- Set mbAvailable=false when MB is disabled or API fails
- Wrap entire Relationships section with {#if mbAvailable}
- Only extract labels from albums categorized as 'albums' (Discography)
- Excludes EPs, live albums, compilations, tributes, and others
- Change icon from Tag to Disc (record label, not tag)
- Add labels field to ArtistDetail type
- Extract unique labels from artist albums in convertQobuzArtist
- Update appendArtistAlbums to merge new labels
- Display labels in sidebar with click navigation to label view
- Use Tag icon from lucide-svelte
- Remove ended visual distinction (all members same style)
- Match Lyrics sidebar dimensions (340px, same height)
- Update header structure to match Lyrics
- Use element-connect.svg icon
- Equal spacing between items in all sections
cc
- All band members go to single 'Members' list
- Show ended status with muted color
- Tooltip shows roles + period (e.g. 'guitar (1981 - 2003)')
- Remove separate 'Former Members' section
cc
- Deduplicate members that appear multiple times with different roles
- Combine roles and show in mouseover tooltip
- Apply to Members, Former Members, Member Of, Collaborators
cc
- Members: current band members
- Former Members: past members (with muted style)
- Member Of: groups artist belongs to
- Collaborators: collaboration relationships
cc
- Fixed position sidebar that slides in from right
- Labels section (placeholder)
- Similar Artists section (functional)
- MusicBrainz Relationships section (functional)

The playback thread was terminating on pause instead of waiting.
Now uses two separate flags:
- is_playing: controls pause/resume (thread waits when false)
- should_stop: controls full termination (thread exits when true)
This allows the ALSA Direct playback thread to pause and resume
without losing its position or requiring a full restart.
Bit-perfect audio path remains unchanged - only control flow modified.
- Pass track duration from frontend to streaming playback for seekbar
- Add StreamInfo struct with speed measurement during probe
- Implement StreamingConfig::from_speed_mbps() for adaptive buffer sizing
- Add play_streaming_dynamic() method using speed-based buffer config
- Enhanced download logging with progress %, speed (current/avg), and ETA
- Auto-cache streamed tracks for instant replay
The seekbar now shows playback progress during streaming by using
the track's known duration from metadata rather than detecting it
from incomplete audio data.
BREAKING CHANGE: Replace blocking decode_streaming_source with IncrementalStreamingSource
Key improvements:
- IncrementalStreamingSource implements rodio::Source and decodes packets on-demand
- Playback starts immediately after initial buffer (512KB default) fills
- Audio is decoded incrementally while download continues in background
- Reduced initial buffer from 2MB to 512KB for faster startup
- Added fast_start() config option for minimal 256KB buffer
The previous implementation blocked until the ENTIRE file was downloaded
and decoded, making streaming slower than traditional download-first.
Now playback truly starts within ~1 second of initial buffer filling.

Backend:
- Add search_type parameter to search_albums, search_tracks, search_artists
- Pass optional type filter to Qobuz API (Performer, Composer, Label, ReleaseName)
Frontend:
- Add SearchFilterType to search state management
- Add filter radio buttons in SearchView (visible when results exist)
- Remove redundant counts from tabs
- Add Clear filter button independent from Clear search
- Filters reset automatically when starting new search or clearing
Filters allow finding performers, composers, and labels that default
search misses (e.g., searching "Nicko McBrain" with Performer filter
shows Iron Maiden tracks)
