Luminous v2.0.0 Released – Open-Source Music Player with Listening Stats, Picard Tagging, WebDAV Support, and Scrobbling

Following up on my post here from a couple of weeks ago. When I shared v1.5.0, I mentioned that scrobbling was in the pipeline for 2.0.

v2.0 is now live on the Microsoft Store. It’s built with Rust and Tauri (no Electron), focusing on helping you turn your folder of files into a beautifuly curated music library.

What's New in v2.0

  • ListenBrainz & Discord Rich Presence: Scrobble playback directly to ListenBrainz and show live listening status on Discord.
  • Listening Stats: Streaks, top artists, albums and genres, and a breakdown of when in the day you listen most.
  • MusicBrainz Picard Tagging: Direct handoff to Picard from the built-in tag editor for automatic lookup and tagging. No point building in heavy-duty tagging when there's already good tools to do so.
  • WebDAV Support: Connect a WebDAV share to stream or import tracks directly into the library. As requested by u/Sormick91 🥳
  • Moment Mix: An auto-generated playlist on the home screen that shifts with the time of day.
  • Pin to Home: Pin artists, albums, and playlists to the home screen for quick access.
  • Redesigned File Organizer: Clearer destination routing and file renaming previews when restructuring library folders on disk.
  • Local Artwork Scanner: Detects local artist portraits, band logos, and extra fan art stored in music folders.
  • Social Share Cards: Generates image cards of currently playing tracks.
  • Markdown Bios & Links: Markdown-formatted bios and external platform links on artist and album pages.

Free on Microsoft Store

Luminous v1.5.0 Released – Open-Source Music Player with Custom Genre Hierarchies, Rich Artist Profiles, and System Tray Support

This is my first time sharing my music playing app on /windowsapps. I made it because I'm pulling back from using Spotify and other streaming services. I'm trying to be more intentional with my music listening and curating a music library of my own.

Actively developed and working on adding scrobbling and more in 2.0.

What's New in v1.5.0

  • Custom Genres & Subgenres View: Group and organize your library tags into visual cards. Drag tags onto cards to file them as subgenres, rename or promote tags, and easily filter tracks with no genre tag.
  • Rich Artist Profiles: Add bios, official websites, and platform links (Bandcamp, Spotify, Instagram, etc.) to artist pages.
  • Multi-Value Tags & Custom Sort Values ("Sort As"): Semicolon-separated tags (Artist, Genre, Composer) are now stored as distinct searchable tags. Set custom sort overrides so your library sorts without altering file tags.
  • Drag & Drop Playback: Drop files or entire folders onto Luminous to play instantly (hold Shift to append to Queue).
  • System Tray Integration: Option to minimize to the tray on close with playback control in the tray menu.
  • Refined Playback & Queue: Fixed shuffle play re-shuffling mid-playback, smoother pointer-based playlist reordering, and improved cover art rescanning when files move.
