What is new in Songtide 1.2.1
- Fixed a crash that could happen while typing in search. - Taking out your AirPods pauses the music right away, without a moment of it playing from your Mac's speakers. - Songs no longer sometimes show the album and cover of the song before them. - The visualizer no longer shows "Starts when music plays." Download the .dmg below, from [songtide.dcoded.dev](https://songtide.dcoded.dev), or with `brew install --cask dcoded-dev/tap/songtide`. Songtide updates itself once installed.
