Updates

A list of new features, improvements and other changes to TRACKMENTO, along with problems we currently know about. We update it whenever we fix or release something.

Recent changes

September 19, 2026

• If the new address (trackmento.com) can’t be reached on your network, such as some Wi-Fi connections, you can now keep using the old address.
• Share images made on phones are now smaller, cutting upload time by about 30% (they look almost the same on X and other social media).
• For Niconico videos whose uploader name is unavailable (deleted or private accounts, re-uploads and so on), the producer name is now filled in automatically from VocaDB.
• VocaDB artist names no longer include labels or channels, so they read cleanly, e.g. “kz feat. Hatsune Miku”.
• When a track’s title and artist share one line, the artist no longer drops awkwardly onto the next line.
• VocaDB searches are now less likely to time out when traffic is heavy, and songs that have been searched once come up quickly afterwards thanks to caching.
• Published this Updates page.

September 18, 2026

• TRACKMENTO moved to its own domain, trackmento.com. Opening the old address forwards you automatically and brings your grid along.
• The track list can now be shown three ways: “Beside the grid”, “On the covers” or “Hidden”. “On the covers” puts the track info in white text along the bottom of each cover.
• With fewer tracks, the title and artist now sit on one line with the artist aligned to the right, leaving less empty space and making the text larger and easier to read.
• Published the How to use, Privacy policy and About pages.

September 17, 2026

• In the English interface, iTunes titles and artists are shown as listed on the US store (e.g. “Marigold / Aimyon”).
• “Clear all cells” now asks for confirmation first, and you can still bring everything back with “Undo” afterwards.
• The track list now uses the full height of the image so the text can be larger.

September 16, 2026

• You can now search VocaDB, the Vocaloid song database. It finds songs that aren’t on streaming services, with original songs ranked near the top.
• Added “Everyone’s grids”. Only grids you tick to list when sharing can be found and viewed by others, by track or artist.
• Added “Enlarge” (full screen). Grids with many cells or long, narrow layouts can be opened to fill the screen for easier rearranging.
• Pasting a Bandcamp album URL now adds each of its tracks to the grid in one go.
• Colour palettes now come in sets of eight and switch the background of the whole interface too, including the dark “Night” palette.
• Sharing now shows an upload progress bar, and you can cancel partway through.
• Moved “Clear all cells” to a spot that’s harder to tap by mistake, and made it possible to undo.
• Long titles now wrap onto up to three lines, so they are cut off with “…” less often.
• In grids one to three cells wide, each title now sits right beside its cell in the same order, so it’s easy to see which cover is which song.
• The finished image is now previewed and saved directly on your device, so saving is less likely to fail on an unstable connection.

September 15, 2026

• Added colour palettes. You can make your own and share it by copying its colour codes.
• Track titles on share pages now link to their original pages (YouTube, Niconico, Bandcamp and so on).
• Share images and share pages are now kept for 30 days instead of 7.
• The track list now shows the title and artist on two lines. With many tracks it adds columns automatically to keep the text large.
• For near-square ratios with many tracks, the track list now wraps around the grid so the covers can be as large as possible.
• Very long, narrow layouts such as 1×8 or 32×1 now fit the cells and titles neatly.
• Adding “?lang=en” or “?lang=ja” to a URL now sets the display language.
• To prevent accidental changes on phones, sliders (margin, cell spacing, colour and so on) now move only when you drag the handle.

September 14, 2026

• Long titles now wrap onto two lines so the artist name that follows is no longer cut off or lost.
• With many tracks, the track list can now flow continuously like running text to fit neatly in the image.

September 13, 2026

• You can now load a whole playlist from its URL (Niconico mylists, SoundCloud, bilibili, Spotify, Bandcamp and YouTube; up to 500 tracks).
• Deleted videos in a playlist now get their proper title and thumbnail restored automatically from otoDB, the otomad database.
• “Paste a page URL” now accepts several URLs at once, one per line.
• Added support for Apple Music URLs (songs, albums and playlists).
• Grids can now have up to 256 cells, so you can make 16×16 or any tall or wide layout.
• The interface can now be switched to English with the button at the top right. Share pages follow the viewer’s browser language.

September 11, 2026

• Share images are now made on your device (in the browser), so making them is less likely to stall when traffic is heavy.
• The default image ratio is now 16:9, which suits X (formerly Twitter). 4:5 for Instagram posts is also available.
• Custom colours now have hue, saturation and brightness sliders for fine-tuning.
• Share pages now show when they will expire.

September 9, 2026

• TRACKMENTO launched. Search iTunes, MusicBrainz, Discogs and otoDB, or paste URLs from Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, Niconico, bilibili and Spotify. For tracks without a cover, you can upload an image yourself.

Known problems

• Old Niconico videos: the source only has low-resolution images, so their covers may look blurry.
• Covers of deleted videos: deleted videos that aren’t registered on otoDB can’t have their thumbnail or other details restored.
• Special characters: titles with some unusual symbols (such as ◈) may be placed slightly differently in the image depending on your device and fonts.
• In-app browsers: in the browsers built into X, LINE and similar apps, sharing may be slow or fail. Reopening the page in a regular browser such as Safari or Chrome is more reliable.

If something doesn’t work

• The page won’t open: switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or try another browser. School or work networks may temporarily block newly registered domains with security filters.
• Sharing takes a long time: upload speed depends on your connection. Please try somewhere with good reception.
• Still not solved: please contact us using the details on the About page, with the date and time, your device and browser, and what you were doing.
