Automobility: Autoradio

0.6.0 — Your music, your mix

My listening gives you your own Autoradio volume, a separate level for nearby radios, and a remembered mute for a device or linked group. These controls never pause anyone else's music or change shared speaker settings. F12 opens the current device; use its My listening button, or press F12 without a selected device to open the personal controls directly. You can also mute a speaker you may listen to but cannot manage. Prefer car radio lowers outside Autoradio sources to one quarter while you are riding, without changing your cabin radio or other Minecraft sounds.

Autoradio now follows Minecraft's Master volume and your personal Autoradio volume, not the Music slider. Existing profiles copy their old Music level once when upgrading. Device/group volume remains a separate control.

Custom playlists let you browse and search your own music in F9. Files in the original Custom folder keep their default playlist; each direct subfolder adds another playlist. MP3 and Ogg title/artist tags are shown when available, with filenames as the fallback. Browse without interrupting playback, then use Play playlist or Play track to commit your choice. Ordered playback continues after the selected track; shuffle stays within the selected playlist. Custom is still one item in the station wheel.

Custom Play now distinguishes preparation, device acceptance, sending without confirmation, local-only playback and failure. Placed speakers confirm accepted requests; cars and held speakers report sending because their current protocol does not return that confirmation. Acceptance does not mean every listener has allowed or finished downloading the file. The now-playing card gains progress once the track's preparation has established its duration.

Level music volume is an optional, personal setting for local and shared Custom files. It is off by default. Tracks are measured in the background, and the measured adjustment fades in without delaying playback. The files are never rewritten, and failed measurement leaves the original audio playing. This is per-track gain adjustment, not a compressor or limiter; it does not affect built-in stations or internet radio.

Manually linked Party Speakers now share Group volume. Save a change with Apply to update all loaded, controllable members. A newly linked speaker takes the selected source's volume; names, range and redstone settings stay local. Existing mixed-volume groups are not changed merely by loading the world: apply a volume change to bring them to one level. Linked access controls also explain when a speaker must be unlinked before its access can be edited.

Fixed delayed Custom selections overwriting newer controls, stale progress and an audio-channel leak that could eventually silence repeated playback. Cancelled or late audio loads now release their own resources without reviving an old source. Small volume ramps soften ordinary nonzero level changes; this does not add track crossfade or gapless playback.

The five stations and all 55 bundled tracks are unchanged. Separate Fabric downloads are prepared for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Update clients and server together, and keep Custom files, saved permissions and world speaker links.
