**Plexamp v4.50.20-beta.19**

Desktop is on the beta channel now, and mobile is on its way to TestFlight and Play testing. The main one: the desktop window now switches between a Desktop and a Compact layout, each remembering where you left it.

**Added**

- Desktop: switch between Desktop and Compact windows from the Window menu (⌥⌘1, ⌥⌘2; Ctrl+Alt+1, 2 on Windows and Linux), each remembering its size, place and whether the player was open.
- Desktop: the player bar shows the track’s rating on wide windows.
- Desktop: hovering the star rating previews the rating a click would give.
- Desktop: the mouse’s back and forward buttons move between pages, as do ⌘[and ⌘] on the Mac and Alt+← and Alt+→ elsewhere.
- Desktop: library grids show how many items they hold.
- iOS, Android: long-pressing an upcoming autoplay item adds it to the queue.

**Fixed**

- Desktop: the compact window drags from anywhere along its header.
- Desktop: the full-screen player’s seek bar no longer shows the track as finished on wide windows.
- Windows, Linux: menus in the desktop layout are solid instead of see-through.
- Desktop: long menu headers end in an ellipsis instead of being cut off.
