Hi everyone! I didn't intend to release the next update this quickly, but sadly there were some pretty significant bugs introduced with the last update. Sorry for that!
This update mostly includes fixes for these bugs, as well as a few simple improvements here and there.

The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.

If you're not using the beta yet (how to join)

The beta is free and open to everyone, but we'd like to get as much feedback as possible. So please do try it out and then let us know what you think!

  1. Join the Finamp Beta Testers Discord server
    • This step is optional, but since we're looking for feedback, it would be great if you could join!
    • Alternatively, there's a discussion for the beta right here on GitHub: Redesign Beta discussion
  2. Take note of your current Finamp settings, since this is a beta it could happen that the update changes some of them.
    • Downloads should be migrated, but since the new download system is completely different, there might be inconsistencies.
  3. On Android, join the beta on Google Play or download the APK file from below.
    On iOS, join the beta on TestFlight.
    • We're currently not able to offer a beta on F-Droid (more info here), but you can use an app like Obtainium to automatically download the latest APK from GitHub.
  4. Open Finamp and enjoy!

Keep in mind that all of the text in the beta hasn't been translated yet, so it will be shown in English no matter which language your device is set to. We're not able to add more translations to the beta just yet (it's not as easy to configure as we'd hoped), but we'll let you know once you can help translating all of the new stuff!

What's New

  • Fixed playback not properly advancing to the next song when transcoding
  • Fixed "original" (un-transcoded) downloads not being able to play on iOS
  • Fixed the fast scroller (alphabet list) getting stuck on special characters (like accented letters)
  • Improved queue behavior
  • Improved playback reporting™ (I swear it's getting better)
  • Clicking the stop button in the notification (on Android) no completely clears the queue and hides the now playing bar
    • You can also swipe down on the now playing bar to dismiss it and stop playback
  • Fixed tabs showing the wrong content after reordering tabs
  • Fixed glitchy background when rotating the player to landscape mode
  • Move track info and controls up if album cover is smaller
  • Try to prevent accidentally dismissing the song menu
  • Use proper keyboard for decimal number settings (especially on iOS)
  • Attempted to dynamically change the color of the AirPlay button on iOS
  • Attempted to fix some playback-related crashes and errors on iOS
  • Attempted to make the fast scroller less laggy when scrolling to already-loaded letters

Upcoming Features

We have a lot of features planned for the future, and we're always open to new ideas. Here are some of the things that we're planning to add:

  • Lyrics Support
    • I want Finamp to support lyrics before Jellyfin 10.9 is officially released (which should happen at the end of April)!
  • Playback Speed Control
  • Android Auto / Automotive Support
  • Desktop Support 👀
  • Multi-Queues

You can take a look at the full list and current progress in the Redesign project.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused with the last update, and thanks for everyone who reported bugs on GitHub and Discord!
Thank you for using Finamp!
