What's new in 1.5.1

Cleaner imports, safer collection maintenance and calmer local data.

This update tightens the version 1.5 foundation: Discogs now focuses on vinyl, collection cleanup is safer, and the app is better behaved after first setup.

Discogs

Vinyl-only imports

Non-vinyl entries are skipped and counted, so your local collection stays focused on records.

Tracklists

Cleaner fetching

Discogs tracklists are requested only for imported vinyl releases, keeping batch import more predictable.

Collection

Safe record removal

Removing a record also cleans related listens, care logs and recognition history.

Local-first

Setup polish

Demo data is seeded only once, with small stability and Polish/English copy improvements.

What it does

It connects the record, the audio chain and real stylus wear.

Igla i Rowek is local-first: no account, no pressure, no social noise. It is a tool for the daily ritual of playing records, recognising what is nearby and caring for an analog setup.

Listening as a ritual

Pick a record, the active stylus and your listening chain. The timer handles the session, then saves it to history.

Audio gear illustration in the app style

Gear passport

Turntables, cartridges and individual styli are tracked separately, because a stylus wears faster than the rest of the system.

Listening stats illustration

Insight without spreadsheet pain

Stats show listening time, session count, most-played records and the styli getting the most hours.

Version 1.5.1

A serious base for serious listening, now tighter around the collection.

This is not tracking for tracking's sake. The app helps remember what played, how long it ran, which stylus collected the hours and how the whole setup changes over time.

Version 1.5.1 improves the everyday edge cases: Discogs imports avoid non-vinyl clutter, record removal cleans linked local history, and first-run demo data stays under control.

Vinyl context Discogs entries, tracklists and imported releases stay tied to real records.
Careful cleanup Deleting a record also removes its listens, care logs and recognition traces.
