Embeat is the native music player for your Emby or Jellyfin server. Enjoy your library just the way you organized it: artists, albums, tracks, genres and playlists, with cover art and metadata. β€’ Gapless, lossless playback for FLAC and ALAC. β€’ CarPlay. Browse and play your library from the car screen: recent, new, favorites and playlists, with cover art, the queue, and shuffle and repeat. Plus a tab with your downloads, which plays even when the server is out of reach. β€’ Radio mode. When the queue runs out, Embeat keeps going on its own with music that fits what you were listening to. β€’ Sleep timer. Tell it to stop in 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes and fall asleep to it: the countdown stays on screen. β€’ Embeat Connect streams music to DLNA/UPnP devices on your local network, Sonos speakers included β€” gapless there too. β€’ Download tracks, albums and playlists to listen offline, on your phone and in the car. β€’ Choose a quality cap for mobile data and keep the original on Wi-Fi β€” gapless either way. β€’ Multiple Emby and Jellyfin servers, with quick switching between them. β€’ Global search, favorites that update themselves when you star something elsewhere, an editable queue, background playback and lock screen controls. β€’ Ask Siri to play your music on Embeat.
