## What is echoFT?

echoFT — explore the Internet Archive's audio universe

Millions of free songs, live concerts, old-time radio shows, podcasts, audiobooks, and historic recordings — all from archive.org, all in one beautifully simple app.

No account. No ads. No tracking. Just press play.

 What you'll find

• Live Music Archive — fan recordings of thousands of bands, from Grateful Dead to indie tours
• Old Time Radio — classic radio dramas, mysteries, and comedies from the 1930s–60s
• 78rpm Records — historic shellac recordings digitized by collectors
• Community Music — uploaded music across every genre imaginable
• Podcasts — archived shows from around the web
• LibriVox Audiobooks — free public-domain audiobooks read by volunteers
• George Blood Audio — professionally digitized historic recordings

 Built for discovery

• Discovery feed — curated sections refresh with new finds every time
• Surprise Me — one tap drops you into something you'd never have searched for
• Smart search — filter by collection, sort by popularity, rating, date, or pure chance
• Multi-genre filters — pick up to four genres at once
• Filter by year, era, language — narrow a century of audio into exactly what you want

 A proper player

• Background playback with lock-screen and notification controls
• Full queue management — reorder, shuffle, repeat
• Autoplay continues into related items when your queue ends
• Dynamic player backgrounds that adapt to album art
• Mini-player follows you across tabs

 Your library, on your device

• Favorite anything in one tap
• Listening history with quick replay
• Everything stored locally — your taste stays yours

 Privacy you can actually verify

echoFT has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no servers of its own. Your favorites and history live on your device and nowhere else. The only network traffic is fetching catalog data and streaming audio from archive.org — exactly what you'd expect.

About the Internet Archive

archive.org is a non-profit digital library preserving millions of audio recordings, films, books, and websites. echoFT is an independent client that makes its audio collection easier to explore on mobile. We're not affiliated with the Internet Archive — just big fans of what they do.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.5 — 2026-08-18

Search is now the home screen — open echoFT and start finding something great immediately, instead of browsing curated shelves first.

- Download individual tracks, not just whole items — and downloads now queue instead of silently getting dropped
- Re-roll has its own button, separate from Surprise Me
- Playback problems now show up instead of failing silently
- Blocked items are respected everywhere in the app
- Faster-loading thumbnails, lower memory use
- Under-the-hood audio engine upgrades for more reliable playback

### 1.3.15 — 2026-06-28

Small polish and stability improvements to make discovering free audio even smoother. No account, no ads — just press play. 

Thanks for using echoFT!

### 1.3.5 — 2026-06-13

Smarter search and better offline listening.

- Best Match search
Searches now find what you actually typed. Our new Best Match sort puts exact, relevant results first — so the item you're looking
for shows up on page one instead of getting buried.

- Downloads, your way
Tapping a download now opens its full track list so you can pick what to play — just like Favorites and History. Works completely
offline.

- Smoother offline mode
Your downloaded History items now open instantly in airplane mode, straight from your device.

Plus broader device support and behind-the-scenes improvements. Thanks for using echoFT!

### 1.3.2 — 2026-06-10

- Onboarding & personalized Discovery: pick your interests, genres, and languages on first launch; the Discover feed now adapts to your preferences.
- Offline downloads: save items to listen without a connection, with Wi‑Fi‑only gating to protect your data.
- Faster, more reliable local storage (favorites, history, search cache).

### 1.2.8 — 2026-05-30

No release notes.
