Yep, this build is really good. It works like a charm in Windows 10 14328 as well as in 10586 :laugh:

 

Raphaël, using the spacebar to pause the playback works unless I click on some other control of the UI first. If I do so, when I press spacebar, it doesn't pause the song I'm listening to, but instead it triggers whatever I have previously clicked on. I understand it totally makes sense, but I just want to let you know in case you want to make some changes so as to make sure that the spacebar always works to just pause the playback.

 

Cheers!

Hey Raphael! Great release. But I am having a problem with my Philips SHB7000 wireless headset and Dopamine. When using my headset's media keys, Next and Previous works as expected but Play/Pause doesn't work. Its not picked up by your Keyboardtest. Groove Music has no problem with my headset.
 

^ For Next and Previous. Nothing recorded for Play/Pause.

That one is difficult. Each time this issue is reported, I look it up on the internet, and realize there is no information about it. I'll log a bug and look into it again when I can.

Thanks for reporting that. It indeed makes sense, but is annoying :) I'd like space to toggle play and pause regardless of the UI component which is clicked. I've logged a bug.

I'm confident you'll eventually find a workaround :yes:

Hi Raphael,

 

I'm seeing an issue with the search functionality. It seems like the artist search works just based off of the 'Album Artist' tag.

 

So if I have an album that has an Artist tag, but a blank album artist tag, that album does not show up in any search results (only albums that also have the album artist tag do). see attached screenshot for example

Untitled.png

 

 

Also, on that note it would be nice if on the song list if the Artist was displayed if the album artist tag is blank (rather than showing unknown album artist). I have lots of albums that have an artist tag but no album artist tag, so in songs lists it can be a little annoying to see 'unknown album artist' under the album name for all of them. Or maybe an option to choose whether to display artist or album artist there.

Hi Raphaël,

 

I've been noticing a bug where I click on a genre and no albums show up although the albums show in the list view. Sometimes it might even be that only some albums show, but not all.

What happens when you scroll up? There is a know issue where nothing is shown when you scroll to the bottom of the album list, then select another artist or genre, then albums are not shown anymore until you scroll up.

I've created a bug and task for this. Thanks for reporting.

Hi everyone. In a day or 2 I'll release a new build. No new features, but quite some bug fixes. This is the current changelog:

 

- Added Traditional Chinese translation
- Added Simplified Chinese translation
- Languages are now ordered alphabetically in the language picker
- Fixed a bug in the auto updater
- Fixed window ToolTips not updated when changing language
- Fixed playback starting when switching default audio device even when playing nothing
- Fixed a bug where sorting headers were not updated when changing language
- Fixed a bug where a song, which is in more than 1 playlist, was removed from the wrong playlist.
- Fixed a bug displaying the year in the album ToolTip
- Fixed a bug where the albums list sometimes appears empty even when it contains albums
- Theme selection is changed and translated to the selected language
- Pressing [Space] on the keyboard doesn't start or stop songs anymore. It causes too many conflicts.

Great build coming our way! Thanks for the heads up, Raphaël!

 

I see the space thing is just a pita :rofl:

Yeah I gave up on it. As soon as I made the space pressing a global thing (accessible from anywhere in the application) the search field conflicted with it. Each time you pressed space in the field, songs would play or pause. I didn't want to add ugly workarounds to try to detect the that the user is searching or not.

Good Luck! :)

I'm afraid the deadline is already exceeded :rofl: Would have been great though, if I had a lot of time on my hands :) 

 

So what's next for Dopamine?

 

This build is rather good, quality wise. I'd like to release version 1.0 final as soon as I have confirmation that there are no critical issues left. After the release of 1.0, my focus will shift to the UWP version. Development on the desktop version will continue however. While the current focus is now 100% desktop, 0% UWP, I'd like to shift that to 20% desktop, 80% UWP for a short period of time. And once the UWP version is published, it should become 50% for both.

The 20% for the desktop version will allow fixing bugs and adding small features.

 

The UWP version will start simple and as a phone application only. Because I want to publish quickly, I won't spend time building an adaptive UI yet. The desktop version can fill that gap for now. Adaptive UI will be added later. The app will be polished and dynamic, just like the dekstop version. They will look very similar.

 

I'm having an issue where it will just crash when loading a new song. It happened twice on Friday, after I updated to 650. If I can reproduce it, what information do you want from me so that you can track it down?

 

 

Edit: It just happened again. Here's the last bit of the log.

well, I found that cycling through a list of songs in the now playing view will eventually result in a crash

Can you reproduce it? If yes, what steps did you perform?

The latest build is working really well so far.  Had some audio stuttering on the previous builds.  That seems to be gone and I've been using it for a few days now.  Awesome work.

I indeed worked on that. I gave the audio engine a higher priority.

Just cycling through songs in now playing mode will eventually cause it to crash for me.  Different tracks. Not reproducable on any particular track.  Don't know it it will do it if I don't hit the next button and just let it play on its own. Going to try that out for a while.  It only happens on the now playing view.

I'm not able to reproduce it. But I see where the bug happens and added a safeguard for the next build. That should fix it.

I found that it only happens when the spectrum analyzer is enabled and again, only in the now playing view.  I may be wrong, but it seems very hard to reproduce with it off.

That's what I was thinking when looking at the logs. It's trying to calculate the spectrum shape, but fails because an object is null. I couldn't reproduce it though. I'm not sure why. However my fix will catch this and prevent a crash.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
