What's New in LyrPlay

1.8.0

November 6, 2026

Download before you go. With Keep Playing Offline on, LyrPlay now saves the next songs in your queue while nothing is playing, so the music is ready before you leave the house. A Saved for Offline ring in Settings > Offline shows how much of the queue is on the phone. Saved songs come down in the format you stream (Opus or Ogg with the MobileTranscode plugin), not as full-size FLAC files, and the storage limit is larger. Offline playback polished. Play works on a weak signal straight from the saved songs. ReplayGain follows your player's setting (track, album or smart) offline, the way the server applies it. A song that finishes just as the connection drops is followed by the next saved song instead of silence. When the server can't be reached, the connection screen now opens the offline player directly. Audio Format. The Opus, Ogg Vorbis and WAV settings now work with LMS's "Prefer native format" option left on, as it is by default, so there is nothing to change on the server. AAC files play as they are on the Opus and Ogg settings instead of being converted to MP3, and each setting's description shows exactly what it asks the server for. CarPlay. Cover art on the CarPlay home screen no longer drops to the default icon after playing saved songs. Playlists start from the first song again, and a crash when a CarPlay list grew past the car's limit is fixed. Also: the Gradient Shine icon lost its white edge, the Reverse Out and White icons are no longer swapped, and the server password no longer appears in diagnostic logs.

Doesn't actually work

Brand new ipad. Working lyrion setup. Lyrplay immediately fails on setup connection test and so you can't proceed any further.

Response from developer

Let me know how I can help here - clearly works for many so some type of config issue

Material Skin in App Form

This app is awesome, you can control your Lyrion server, play music through your phone like it’s a squeezebox player, and all presented with the beautiful Material Skin UI. The Lyrion Server, Material Skin, and LyrPlay developers have combined to make the LMS ecosystem a real joy to use.

Crashed on launch

First time, LyrPlay did connect to an LMS before. Second time when I launch LyrPlay, LMS was not started. Third time or maybe 4th, 5th…. LyrPlay crashes on launch.

Super slick!

The commissioning process was really smooth. GUI is clean. The only thing behind a paywall is custom app icon colors. What a gift! Nice work and thank you for this free and beautiful app.
