Showboard 1.6.0
Last updated: July 2, 2026
A whole new Tapers section for exploring the people behind live recordings, a redesigned cross-source Home, a full-screen "Tape" player, and iCloud-synced favorites.
New Features
- Tapers — a new Discover section to browse and follow the tapers behind the recordings, with a "Your Tapers" grid of the recordists already in your library, credited by name.
- Taper pages — a taper's cross-source discography in chronological order, with a Source Mix breakdown, best-of and Top Rated rails, and a sortable list.
- Recent Taper Submissions — see what's freshly circulating, using honest performance-date recency so vintage transfers no longer masquerade as new.
- Follow tapers with a dedicated "Following" lane, plus "Tapers Worth Knowing" and personalized "Tapers you'll love" recommendations, and opt-in Taper Starter Packs by jam band.
- Loved — a unified area for album, artist, and venue favorites, now synced across your Macs via iCloud.
- As-you-type search suggestions across artists, songs, albums/shows, and venues.
- Share a resolvable link to any track that opens on whichever source the recipient has.
UI Improvements
- Home, redesigned — cross-source Continue Listening and Most Played with cold-start support, cross-source de-duplication, and a compact, live-first layout.
- A new full-screen "Tape" player with a data-adaptive layout, a set-grouped source-agnostic tracklist, and "the jam, as interface" — sets, segues, and jams visualized on the timeline.
- Provenance you can trust — taper, transferer, and lineage surfaced legibly on show detail, with a "degrade, never fabricate" policy and full narrative taper notes.
- "Also available on:" makes it unmissable when a show exists on other sources.
- Sort an artist's content by date, plays, favorites, or rating, and hover paging arrows on horizontal rails throughout the app.
Bug Fixes
- Streaming queues now preserve disc and track order.
- Wider show-date parsing, including US M/D/Y formats.
- Numerous accessibility and reliability fixes.
