Every real release is followed by the obligatory bug-fix update. And here it is. Thanks to your feedback, I was able to fix a number of unexpected issues, most of them having to do with the dreaded NullPointerException, a.k.a. NPE. Besides the fixes, a couple of things were improved or added. Most of this is stuff that I didn't get to for the original release. Some of this has to do with the new Play similar songs feature. BTW: if you're curious what the internal playlist looks like, there is a simple plugin available for that via Preferences -> Plugins (sources are available on GitHub). It adds a new menu item under Controls.

As always, you can download the new version from the download section of the website.
