Music Assistant stops expanding a single artist selection into requests for an entire online catalog. Artist playback defaults to music in the listener’s library, falling back to top tracks. The previous all-tracks option becomes all tracks from that artist’s albums in the library, and whole Artists, Albums and Playlists folders can no longer be played with one tap.
Large artist pages stop after 100 releases from a music service; YouTube Music keeps a separate limit for each section. SoundCloud, YouTube Music and Deezer also reduce or pace their requests. The changes address operations that could send hundreds of requests from one action and cause an account to be temporarily blocked.
When a service asks Music Assistant to wait more than a minute, playback reports that wait instead of skipping through tracks and marking them unavailable. Looking up a new selection also stops after sixty seconds if it cannot finish, freeing the player without replacing its queue or interrupting existing music.
