Three shipped this week that change how playback works on CrateDrop: ▸ The player now follows you across the app. Start a track on the dig page, click into community to read a thread, keep listening. Audio never cuts. When you come back to the dig page the full track view rehydrates — no empty state, no interruption. ▸ Crate Radio builds a 10-track drifting session around any seed. It even works on tracks that came from a pure YouTube match with no Discogs data behind them — previously those seeds failed with "not enough data". Fixed. ▸ New Open in YT button in the ⋯ overflow menu. Tap it on mobile and the track opens in the native YouTube app — where Premium actually works (background audio, lockscreen controls). The iframe embed on a web app cannot do those things no matter what flags we pass, so this is the honest way to unlock them for Premium users.
