What's New in Albums

7.1.5

August 1, 2026

Fixes: - Fixed an issue where a resumed session could double-count a track and be marked as complete too early - Fixed an issue where the queue might not proceed to the next album when playing Albums on one device and browsing it on another - Fixed an issue where the Now Playing widget might incorrectly show the iCloud indicator while Albums was open on the Mac, even if you’d only been listening on your phone - Cleaned up superfluous log messages so log file sizes should be significantly smaller - Fixed an edge case where users who purchased a Lifetime unlock could have to restore purchases with every launch - Fixed an issue where the “Learn More” pop up on the mini Paywall didn’t work in the Mac app when presented from a secondary window - Fixed an issue where tracks on pre-released albums added from local files failed to play for non-Apple Music subscribers - Fixed an issue where the Settings -> About link to send the developer an email could crash on macOS if you don’t have Apple Mail configured - Fixed an issue where Albums would never again be able to show new albums on the Release Feed or pull in new albums on an artist’s collection page if the artist’s Apple Music catalog ID changed - In the Mac app, modal sheets (such as the Tag Picker, Playlist picker, etc) now present with a more useful default size, are resizable, and will remember your preferred size. - Fixed a handful of cases where modal sheets presented with incorrectly rendered buttons or were missing a Cancel button on macOS - Fixed an issue where the Discography Browser didn’t correctly sanitize artist names returned from Discogs, leading to the inability to view certain albums. - Fixed an issue where a non-library album whose Apple Music Catalog ID had changed since you last viewed in in Albums might need to be opened several times before displaying its tracklist - Fixed an edge case where the Mac app could crash during an iCloud sync - Fixed an issue where artwork and metadata could get out of sync when shuffling songs - Fixed a couple of edge case crashes related to rearranging the queue - Fixed an issue where the app could hang when tapping the “Show Additional Catalog Tracks” button - Fixed animation issues when presenting the Now Playing screen

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe

Diese App ist genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Endlich kann ich meine Alben so sortieren, wie ich es früher mit meinen LPs gemacht habe. Und sogar noch viel mehr. Möglichkeiten, seine Alben zu sortieren sind schier unendlich. Vielen Dank für diese App, was jetzt noch fehlt, wäre eine deutsche Lokalisierung

Oustanding

Best music player for Mac (and iOS). Great design and very responsive developed. Highly recommended.

Fantastic App

This app quite literally has revived my love and appreciation for listening to albums front-to-back over the past two years of using it. One of the only apps that’s ever been able to handle a large library. Highly recommend and the premium features are all worth while.

Exceptional app.

This is an exceptional music player.

It has two features that make it special (that I’ve found so far).

The ability to make random playlists from either your entire collection or from particular sections of it, means I’m hearing tracks I had forgotten I owned. And the ability to hear new releases from artists sin your existing collection means I’m hearing tracks I didn’t even realise existed.

Great app, but…

Really wanted to love this app but on MacOS it was quite a CPU hog, so eventually I had to abandon it. It’s got huge promise, does everything Apple’s own Music doesn’t do, but even on a fairly modest collection it struggled.

Response from developer

Hello there, thanks for the review and sorry to hear about the performance issues. I’d love to investigate! Could you email me at adam@albumstheapp.com when you have a chance?
