### 4/5 — An EQ or loudness enhancer would be nice.

*2026-08-16, version 1.44.0*

Also artist folder support. I have folders of single artists on my hard drive that I would love to see as is who’s albums I would love to see as is, on your app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 1.44.0*

Good app! I also really appreciate the fact that updates are prompt and actually address issues that pop up in the app (and that releases are well documented)

### 4/5 — Bulk Download Option

*2026-07-26, version 1.43.0*

Please please add the option for bulk download options instead of manually downloading one song at a time. Otherwise great app!

### 4/5 — Equalizer needed

*2026-07-08, version 1.42.0*

Perfect replacement for Apple Music, just needs a equalizer.

### 4/5 — Bulk Download Option

*2026-07-07*

Please please add the option for bulk download options instead of manually downloading one song at a time. Otherwise great app!

### 3/5 — Great app! Almost perfect!

*2026-07-02, version 1.42.0*

Needs just two things, though. A way to sort through songs inside of playlists, and swipe to queue. Some border/demarcation between songs inside the list would be great too! And definitely the hamburger menu instead of the duration of the song, it’s the primary look for most streaming services! I’d love to add them as GitHub Issues if you have one?

### 4/5 — Great Player

*2026-06-18, version 1.41.0*

Love how easy it is to play music! Great connectivity, hoping a queue feature and sleep timer are in the development works somewhere….🤞

### 5/5 — Secondary server url

*2026-06-12, version 1.41.0*

Pls

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-05-19, version 1.41.0*

App is coming along nicely.  Donated Mar 8, 2026, yet button still shown.

### 5/5 — Excellent player

*2026-05-09, version 1.40.0*

Very easy to use and very stable. Easy to create playlists.
This is a very polished media player and is very easy to connect to Jellyfin.
One thing I like about the media player is that it will play songs in the background even when the window is minimised. I found the Jellyfin app would stop playing if you minimise it into the background on iOS.
I like the way that it displays lyrics whilst playing the song (this has to be set up on Jellyfin). I think the instant mix is a nice feature to create a random playlist.
An improvement to the app could be the ability to sort playlists by artist, album, track name which I would find very useful

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.44.0 — 2026-08-04

* Improvement: Playback is always gapless now — the Gapless Playback switch is gone from Stream settings, and anyone who had it off gets seamless transitions from here on.
* Fix: Tracks are no longer randomly skipped while playing through an album. The longer a session ran, the more likely a track was to be passed over — on the device and in CarPlay alike.
* (CarPlay) Fix: CarPlay no longer asks you to open Finer on your iPhone when your credentials are already saved. It now signs in with the stored credentials on its own, and a slow network at the moment the car starts up is no longer mistaken for being signed out. If the server can't be reached in time, CarPlay retries as soon as the network comes back instead of staying stuck on downloads for the rest of the drive.
* (CarPlay) Fix: The shuffle-all and shuffle-favorites steering-wheel buttons now work offline — they shuffle your downloaded music instead of doing nothing.
* Fix: Playback now resumes on its own after an interruption ends. A phone call or a question to Siri no longer leaves the music paused until you reach for your phone — handy while driving. If you were already paused when the call came in, or another app has taken over the audio, nothing starts playing.

### 1.43.0 — 2026-07-24

* Feature: The Artists tab has a new "Load Full List" option in the Filter menu that loads the entire artist list at once instead of page by page. When it is enabled and the list is sorted by Name, a Contacts-style alphabetical index appears along the right edge — tap or slide to jump to any letter.
* Feature: Album and playlist detail pages (including their offline versions) now show a footer with the song count and total duration.
* Improvement: Horizontal carousels on the Home, Artist, and Search pages now scroll all the way to the screen edge instead of stopping short at the page margin.
* Fix: Playback no longer fails (stuck at 00:00) on Jellyfin 12.0 servers.

### 1.42.0 — 2026-06-26

* Sort your Playlists by Name, Date Added, Duration, or Random — in ascending or descending order.
* Play Next and Play Later no longer create duplicates in the queue; a track already queued is moved to the new position instead, and the queue updates instantly.
* Fixed a layout issue where tracks with a long list of artists could break the row.

### 1.41.0 — 2026-05-19

* Collections — browse your Jellyfin collections, then play, shuffle, or open the albums inside. Available as a configurable tab and as an entry in the Library tab.
* (CarPlay) New "Continue Playing" row at the top of the Albums tab (or Downloads tab when offline) that resumes the last played track from where you left off.
* The screen no longer auto-locks while the lyrics view is open — useful for karaoke sessions.

### 1.40.0 — 2026-04-13

* Improvement: The donate button is now hidden for users who have already donated.
* Improvement: Tapping a song in Search now navigates to its album instead of playing it directly (play options are still available via long-press).
* Improvement: Artist and genre names are now tappable throughout the app — in song lists, album detail pages, and downloaded album pages.
* Fix: Stats for Nerds now correctly shows codec, sample rate, and channel info for downloaded tracks.
* Fix: Large playlists now load all tracks correctly.
* Fix: Tracks with multiple artists now show all artists.
