like another issue pointed out, the second case of this FAQ resolves the cracking sounds

I was trying to debug this issue and I realized after a few tests on the same song, that I actually hear the boom while recording, so coming from Spotify.
this might be fixed by 1.5
@jwallet I'll have a try when 1.5 released
@jwallet Feedback there, the problem is not solved on my machine, 1.5 installed
my guess was the mp3 encoder that was not working properly, does your issue still happen when recording in wav format?
@Losses I think 1.7 solved the issue, do you want to give this one a try
@Losses I think 1.7 solved the issue, do you want to give this one a try
Yeah, I'll have a try while I'm free recently!
closing... you can reopen it if it's still frequent.
reopening, some redditors still have the issue https://www.reddit.com/r/spytify/comments/s1eyo7/recording_skipping/
#92 #396 #362 might be all related, I recently found a bug on master (not released yet) I was not locking the audio device while writing the wave, resulting to another process reading it at the same time. I cannot tell if it will fix this issue since I did not have it on my PC, but it may help or even resolve some issues. 🤞

I'm getting skips every 2-3 songs. My guess from my end is that it might be buffer size - happens sometimes when I produce music. Perhaps a quick fix could be an option to increase it? Happy to try a beta with larger buffer size to see how it goes.
@adamlove86 I had the same issue, from the fourth song it will happen. Your comment triggered me to try and find the issue myself.
However, when I tried the version from the master branch the problem appeared to be fixed. @jwallet the latest release is almost a year ago. Maybe publish a new version?
@adamlove86 If you're in a rush you can pull the master branch and run it yourself.
I only downloaded maybe 3, 4 months ago, so I imagine I'm on the main one?
@adamlove86 What I mean is there have been updates that are not released yet. But it is possible to run the application with those updates but it might be unstable or untested.
In my case it was stable and had the error in this issue fixed
I would love a copy to try it out - where can I find? I've tried git clone but no executable. Do I have to build? Pls excuse my ignorance if it's obvious.
@adamlove86 Yes you need to build the app. You can do this with Visual Studio, Rider or with CLI tool
is it still fixed @xource-tech since the release of 1.11 and 1.12
@jwallet It appears so, but will check better when I have more time.
