What's New in Spindle

August 28, 2026
Streaming, properly fixed. • Songs from your server start faster. The app was opening a new connection for every request and competing with itself for bandwidth — it now shares one, and there's a lot more of it to go around. • Fixed: a song could quietly fail to start, or get skipped. • Fixed: a track could stop partway through while it was still playing. • Fixed: a rare freeze while buffering. • Steadier library scans, and more useful bug reports. Nothing new to learn. The same player, doing what it already promised.
