What's New in Spindle
1.1.1
August 1, 2026
• Shuffle and repeat now stay within the album or playlist you started from — no more drifting into your whole library. Shuffle plays a full pass of the list, and a new setting (Settings → Playback → “When a list ends”) lets you loop, shuffle your library, or stop. • Fixed shuffle sometimes showing one song while a different one played — including when shuffling a playlist in CarPlay. • Re-importing your music no longer creates duplicates, and any existing duplicates are cleaned up automatically. • New: tap the ladybug on the display to send an anonymous bug report.
