The second Beta release of the upcoming GNOME Music 3.12 application, which will be part of the forthcoming GNOME 3.12 desktop environment, has been made available for download and testing.

The new development release introduces an initial help infrastructure, outputs more information if a certain song cannot be played, and stores the last 10 played songs in the shuffle history.

Several other minor improvements have been added to this release, and various bugs have been fixed, including the removal of the “Now Playing” entry from the App Menu, songs are no longer being replayed when they’re paused, the current track is now restarted when the Previous button is clicked, and the position is greater than 3 seconds.

Moreover, the application no longer crashes when it tries to play a file with strange encoding in its name, selecting all albums is now a visible operation, and the position of the view scrollbar is now set to the current song every time a track is changed.

Several translations have been updated in GNOME Music 3.12 Beta 2, including Spanish, Italian, Tajik, Norwegian Bokmal, Czech, Hebrew, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Finnish.
