ciderapp/cider-2

Primary public repository for Cider 2.x

Cider-2

Cider-2 is a modern Apple Music app built using Vue.js, TypeScript, and an Electron/Tauri backend. It provides a sleek and intuitive user interface to enjoy your favorite music from the Apple Music library.

Note: This readme file is for the public repository of Cider-2, which is used for issue tracking. The actual source code is not publicly available.

Features

For a detailed list of features and functionalities, please visit the Cider-2 website.

Technologies Used

Cider-2 utilizes a range of technologies to deliver a seamless user experience:

• Vue.js: Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. It offers a reactive and component-based architecture, making it ideal for creating dynamic web applications.

• TypeScript: TypeScript is a strongly-typed superset of JavaScript that enhances code quality and maintainability. It provides static type-checking, making it easier to catch errors during development.

• Electron and Tauri: Cider-2 leverages Electron for platforms other than Windows, while it uses Tauri specifically for the Windows platform. Electron is a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies, and Tauri is a cross-platform framework that allows creating native Windows executables using web technologies.

Installation

Cider-2 can be obtained through the following platforms:

• Itch.io Visit out page on itch.io where you can purchase Cider-2 for all platforms

• Microsoft Store (Windows): Visit the Microsoft Store page and follow the instructions to obtain and install Cider-2 for Windows.

• Donation and Distribution (macOS, Windows, and Linux): Cider-2 is available to donors through the official Discord server. Donors can access builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Join our official Discord server here for more information.

please note that we cannot transfer ownership between accounts, if you buy Cider on the Microsoft Store, we cannot transfer ownership to an itch.io account or vice versa

Main Missing Features Compared to standard Apple Music clients

1. Lossless: Not currently possible in the MusicKit.js library due to there being no ability to decrypt the lossless music. We are working on implementing this with our own implementation of the MusicKit service. But this is still a while off.
2. Crossfade: Same issue as above, we are limited on audio managing and modifying in MusicKit
3. Smart Playlists: This is a limitation of the API. Smart playlists are currently handled in Apple proprietary API which we do not have access to. We are working on our own in-house solution to this, but this is in early stages.
4. Shared Playlists: Another API limitation, hopefully this will be rectified soon since this is a relatively new feature.

FAQ

1. Will Cider-2 support lossless audio?

(See above)

2. Why is Tauri not used on Linux?

Tauri uses webkit2gtk, which does not support web security disabling, a requirement for Apple's API. Therefore, Tauri is not used on Linux for Cider-2.

3. Is Cider-2 open-source?

No, the source code of Cider-2 is not open-source. It is distributed under a proprietary license.

4. Can donors distribute the builds of Cider-2?

No, donors are not allowed to distribute the builds of Cider-2. The builds are provided exclusively to donors for personal use and are not intended for distribution.

5. Will Crossfade be implemented?

(See above)

6. Is there going to be an EQ?

An EQ is very possible in the future as we did have an implementation on Cider-1. However, the audio area of Cider-2 is in a reduced state, so this may be a while.

License

Cider-2 is distributed under a proprietary license. The source code is not publicly available. Access to the builds is provided to donors and purchasers through the official Discord server, itch.io, and the Microsoft Store.

Please note that the distribution and use of Cider-2 builds obtained through these platforms are subject to the respective terms and conditions set by each platform. Make sure to review the license agreements and terms of service associated with the specific platform from which you obtained Cider-2.

Acknowledgements

Cider-2 acknowledges the hard work and contributions of various open-source projects and libraries that have helped in its development.

Describe the Bug

I like using Cider with 1.2 scaling, since (even at 125% system scaling) text in Cider looks to small for me to read without needing to get way too close.

However, Custom Scaling Factor is not working in Fujisan (now Sabiiro) builds (Electron works fine). Changing the preference values does nothing, even after a relaunch.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Settings → Visual → Advanced
2. Change Custom Scaling Factor
3. Nothing happens

Operating System Version

Windows 10 22H2 (19045.2604)

Describe the Bug

The Now Playing bar currently displays data from .nowPlayingItem and not [somewhere else in previous Electron builds].

This results in some non-localized information being displayed. (e.g. displaying Simplified Chinese in a storefront that defaults to Traditional Chinese)

🚫 Fujisan builds

Electron builds before February 9th loads the correct metadata. (it also showed non-localized data, but correct data replaces it within a second)

✅ Electron build, Feb 9th

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play a song (e.g. https://music.apple.com/tw/album/945738516?i=945738655)
2. See effect

Anything else?

For those people who like to OSINT me, no, this is not where I live.

[Bug]: Songs added from the same album on a different date move next to eachother on Date Added sort

Preflight Checklist

• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a bug report that matches the one I want to file, without success.
• I have read the troublshooting FAQs and none solved my issue. (* These are outdated and may not necessarily be possible in the current app version. *)

What operating system are you using?

Windows (Only Supported)

Operating System Version

Windows 11 22H2

Describe the Bug

Songs that are added should always stay in order according to the date they were added, even if they are in the same album. Currently, when a new song is added, the other songs from the same album added on an earlier date move up next to the recently added song.
Here is a comparison of the problem between iTunes and Cider.

iTunes
I have added this song from the album "Out Run" and it stays alone even though there are other songs from this album in my library added on an earlier date.

Cider
Here we can see that the songs added earlier from the album "Out Run" moved up next to the recently added song because they are in the same album.

This behavior messes up the order of the library and when it occurs between a large number of songs and albums, it can get really difficult to find a song the user is looking for without searching the name.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Sort library in Date Added
2. Add X song
3. Add Y song (from a different album)
4. Add Z song from the same album as the X song is in

The X song takes over the Y song and moves next to the Z song (because they are in the same album)

Anything else?

• This issue is present in both Cider and Cider 2.
• I would like to acknowledge that this behavior might be better for some users, however, it is critical for me to at least have the option to change it in the settings.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cider, then check Task Manager.

[Bug]: Fujisan Failing to Register Keybinds

• I have searched the issue tracker for a bug report that matches the one I want to file, without success.

What operating system are you using?

Windows (Only Supported)

Operating System Version

Windows 11 22H2

Describe the Bug

Current behavior

Using the universal find shortcut (control+F) used to work on Cider. I can't remember if it was the original Cider 2 Vue build or one of the earlier Fujisan builds.
Going to Settings -> General -> Keybindings and doing a reset doesn't fix the issue, even after a restart.
Neither does manually re-entering the Control+F shortcut.
The text on the "enter keybind" area also appears red, I'm not sure if this means it's an invalid shortcut or if it's just because it's recording.
If my keybinds are in fact being saved, then restarting the application resets the keybinds.

Expected behavior

Pressing Control+F should open and focus the search bar.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Cider
2. Press Control+F

This might just be how Windows app security handles clipboard contents.

When copying a song.link link and immediately focusing to another tab, a "Failed to copy" toast appears and the link isn't copied. The same behavior occurs even after the song.link request has already been made for that song and you copy the link again.

Expected behavior

The song.link link should be copied in the background.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Right click a song
2. Mouse over "Share..."
3. Click "Copy with song.link"
4. Tab out of the window before it copies to your clipboard
5. Preview the Cider window by hovering over the taskbar icon until you see the red toast appear

1. Open Cider, and make the window relatively small (1/4 of my 32" display)
2. Open settings
3. Hover mouse near top-right of settings page

Anything else?

This is a very minor issue, but because the close button for the settings page is in this region, it is very likely for users to notice this (or potentially miss and accidentally close the application).
