Upgrading from a 2.0.x version and below?​

Here's a list of notable changes why it's definitely worth the upgrade:

Changes:​

  • General code refactor
  • XF 2.3 compatibility
  • Minimal XF version changed to 2.2
  • Removed XenPorta support
  • [BREAKING] Add-on was integrated with ForumType and ThreadType system (XF2.2+).
  • "Music thread forums" add-on option was removed (all previously selected forums in this option will be automatically converted to "TADb Music forum" type).
  • "Allow mixed content" option was deleted (now can be used "General discussion" forum type with "TADb Music threads" type)
  • Added ability to add music in favorites, listened, owned lists and account pages to view and manage them

New features:​

  • Added ability to bulk add albums for artist (requires corresponding permission)
  • Added ability to add custom albums that do not exist on TADb (requires corresponding permission)
  • Added option to disallow albums to be posted multiple times
  • Cached user music thread count to optimize user criteria
  • Added ability to upload custom YouTube icon asset in style properties

Fixes:​

  • Fixed PHP 8.1+ compatibility
  • Fixed incorrect permissions checks not allowing to configure node-specific permissions
  • Fixed remaining music rating data on music deletion
  • Fixed missing unique index in music ratings table which could allow multiple ratings of the same music by a single user under certain circumstances

Does exactly what it says it will do and more. Very easy to customise, excellent feature set and great for anyone wanting to create a unique music site. Can't get any better than this, and it's 2.3 compatible, so future-proof too. Top class developer, first class product.
Visually impressive and works perfectly. If you're looking to add an "umph" to your music discussions, you can't go wrong with this addon!
Just installed this a few days ago and it has been working great. What is helpful about this, is you can join TheAudioDB website which is where it pulls information from and add new artist, and albums. Then once you add it on there, you can pull it to your forum as well.

You can also further edit the album information and images directly on the forum, so you don't necessarily have to go edit it for something minor on TheAudioDB. This is also helpful if you want to change the album title to English maybe even though it pulled it as Japanese from TheAudioDB due to it being a Japanese album.
