## Changelog

### 2026-08-25

*Reliability*

- Restored five-minute MP3 downloads after an upstream YouTube extraction change caused source resolution to stall.

### 2026-08-06

*Reliability*

- Restored MP3 downloads after YouTube tightened media delivery, using bounded source-session rotation while preserving the selected MP3 quality and metadata.

### 2026-07-22

*Reliability*

- Restored five-minute MP3 runs after the former conversion route began timing out, using a bounded signed-media workflow that keeps bulk audio off residential proxy bandwidth.

### 2026-07-19

*Reliability*

- Restored MP3 downloads after the conversion provider removed support for 192 kbps requests, while continuing to encode files at the bitrate selected in the Actor input.

### 2026-07-16

*Features*

- Convert individual public Spotify track URLs or artist/title searches into tagged MP3 files stored with the run.
- Return Spotify metadata, selected public audio-source details, match confidence, duration, bitrate, file size, and a direct storage download link.
- Reject weak source matches and unsupported playlist or album URLs rather than silently saving unrelated audio.

*Safety*

- Keep the initial release limited to individual public tracks and remind users to download only content they own or are authorized to use.
