The sync was fine. Everything it put on the Rabbit was there and correct --
2,432 media files, 208 covers, a manifest whose every field type-checks
against the parser -- and andTunes still answered "No library / Couldn't read
library.json". Fifteen tracks took all 2,439 songs down with them.
Library.group() keyed albumsByKey case-folded and artistsByName raw-case, and
only ever built the Artist inside `if (album == null)`. So the second track of
an album whose artist is spelled differently found the album already there,
skipped the block that would have made the artist, and dereferenced the null
that came back. Six artists in trav's library are spelled two ways: RJD2/Rjd2,
Toro Y Moi/Toro y Moi, FatBoy Slim/Fatboy Slim, LOVING/Loving, Land Of The
Loops/Land of the Loops, Salami Rose Joe Louis/salami rose joe louis. It had
worked until the 12th because that sync was the first to carry both spellings
of one of those albums.
Both maps fold case now, and the artist is fetched-or-made before the album
block and held, so no lookup left in group() can come back null. Artist gains
a key the way Album always had one, and ListActivity navigates by it --
ALBUM_ROW already passed album.key, so artists just stopped being the
exception.
The device filesystem is case-insensitive, so those two spellings are one
folder there. plan_andtunes_sync compared exact strings and saw every such
file as stale *and* missing, deleting and re-copying it over MTP on every
sync forever; the diff and the collision rule both fold now. plan.stale still
carries the device's own spelling, since that is what _delete_stale unlinks by.
Verified on the Rabbit: 2,439 songs listed, RJD2 one row of 12 songs.

andTunes phase 3. The R1 is now one more machine in the Round 38 play-count
model, and nothing lands on it that Android can't play.
Play counts: andTunes 0.2.0 counts a play on a natural finish (LinTunes'
rule) and keeps Music/andTunes/plays/andtunes-<install id>.json in exactly
the per-machine-totals journal shape, written beside the old one and renamed
over it. Each sync first folds it into <data_dir>/plays/ with a new
play_journal.merge_totals, the per-track max: the file now has two homes and
both desktops may bring it back, so the max converges and an older copy can
never pull a count down. Nothing is written when nothing moved, and
PlayJournal.load needed no change.
Format gate: the planner reuses export/web_support.conversion_for outright,
since Android's MediaPlayer decodes the browser's set. FairPlay is refused
and reported; ALAC, AIFF and oddities land as FLAC, converted once into a
per-track cache and size-diffed after that. With no ffmpeg, the export's
"sync without them?" question. A file ffmpeg can't read costs that song,
not the sync.
"Sync Playlist to Rabbit (Auxio)" is retired from the menu; device_sync's
helpers stay because export and andTunes import them.
The dev fixture grew a real ALAC track, a Protected AAC .m4p and an "Odd
Formats" playlist. Verified on the R1 with it: AIFF and ALAC arrived as
FLAC and played, the FairPlay track was refused, four plays came back on the
next sync and each track's effective count rose by exactly one, and a third
sync copied nothing.
Found along the way: USB re-enumeration can wedge gvfsd-mtp, after which
anything touching the mount (find_device, the GUI tests) hangs in an
uninterruptible wait. CLAUDE.md now has the recovery.

The Android half of andTunes had been paused on a 1 GB toolchain download
(Gradle wrapper, Android Gradle Plugin, Kotlin). None of that was needed:
platform 33 and build-tools 34 were already in ~/Android/Sdk, and an app that
links no libraries needs five SDK steps, not a build system. andtunes/build.py
runs aapt2 -> javac -> R8 -> zipalign -> apksigner and produces a 61 KiB APK.
andTunes 0.1.0 is framework-only Java: a six-tile menu that loads nothing, a
streaming library.json parse grouped into artists and albums in one pass, one
ListActivity for every list (songs and artist songs open with Shuffle all,
albums carry art thumbs, search as you type), a Now playing bar under every
list, and a white Now Playing screen with square art, a slim scrubber,
prev/play/next, shuffle and repeat, and no back button. A foreground
PlaybackService owns the queue: audio focus, becoming-noisy, MediaSession and
a MediaStyle notification, end of queue pauses, missing files skip, and the
last queue and position come back on launch. Black on white, and every size
doubled for the R1's override density. Cold start to the menu: 313-338 ms.
The scroll wheel turned out to be DPAD_UP/DOWN (stock Generic.kl), not
volume. The app takes both in dispatchKeyEvent: lists scroll a row per
detent, and the menu and Now Playing get volume.
LinTunes side: Connections > Install andTunes on Rabbit... installs the
committed APK over adb and grants all-files access, or copies it to Download/
over MTP when there's no adb. Sync fills Buttons/ with default artwork only
where a file is missing, so trav's own art is never overwritten.
Verified against the dev library only, synced to the R1 and driven with
adb input + screencap.
