NaviBeat

NEW IN THIS VERSION Jukebox mode. Play through the speakers attached to your Navidrome server itself, with the app as the remote. The queue, the transport and the volume all drive the server. One output button. AirPlay, the jukebox and speakers on your network now live behind a single speaker icon instead of two controls that looked alike. It sits on Now Playing, in the mini player and in the Mac menu bar. Speaker controls on Now Playing. When you are playing to a network speaker, the transport and the progress bar drive it from the same screen you always use. A real Stop. Not a pause: it clears the queue and the position. It is in the More menu on Now Playing, and a Stop button on a car head unit or a Bluetooth remote now works too. Album editions. Deluxe Edition, 2011 Remaster and the rest show as a badge on the album page, and the title stops saying it twice where the server already glued it in. Playlists. Sort by name, recently created or recently changed. Rename and delete your own playlists from the iPhone, not only the Mac. Mac keyboard shortcuts. Command L for favourite, Option Command 1 to 5 for a rating, with the full list in Settings. Opus. It appears in the download picker on every platform and in the stream picker wherever the engine can play it, with tiers from 128 to 320. Swipe the cover sideways to change song, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with switches for it in Settings, Appearance. Up Next on iPad can be reordered, swiped and cleared. A new switch makes a tap play only that song instead of the rest of the list. FIXED Around two hundred fixes since 1.4, from a pass over the whole app. The ones most likely to have bitten you: a call answered on Bluetooth earbuds could leave the music playing over it; the app could report your server as unreachable on a guest network or a hotspot while it was answering; playback could go silent between two songs on the Apple Watch; Continue Playlist forgot that shuffle was on; tapping a song already playing through a speaker started it on the phone as well; Settings was English in every language; and Russian, Ukrainian and Polish counted wrong on every number.
