About Nautune

Ratings & reviews

PLAYBACK • Gapless playback and crossfade are more reliable, and every track now counts toward your stats and ListenBrainz • Streams recover on their own after a signal drop • Previous restarts the song if you're more than 3 seconds in • Music you paused stays paused after a phone call • The sleep timer no longer changes your volume • Uses noticeably less battery and cellular data - Music now plays through just_audio, so gapless albums are truly seamless. - There's a 10-band equalizer with presets. Boosts come with a matching volume cut so they don't distort. - Playback speed can be set from 0.75× to 2×. - A track is saved to the cache while it streams, so it's only downloaded once. The seek bar shows real buffering progress. OFFLINE • Downloads survive the app closing and wait out lost signal • Download buttons on albums, playlists and artists show progress, and let you cancel or retry • New Downloads screen with search, sort and Shuffle All • When you're offline, songs that aren't downloaded are skipped instead of stalling • Playlist edits and favorites sync automatically when you're back online • Formats iPhone can't play natively are converted when downloaded CARPLAY • A simpler, faster CarPlay layout • Browse your whole library, not just the first page • Works even when your iPhone is locked DESIGN • Cleaner Home and Profile screens, a Settings button in the top bar, and one consistent track menu • Easter eggs now live under Settings → About - The app now uses iOS-style page transitions, grouped lists, floating snackbars and rounded sheets, all coloured from your palette. - Every palette, custom ones included, now has a light and a dark version. You pick Palette, System, Light or Dark in Settings → Appearance. - New options: - The accent color can come from the palette or from the artwork that's playing. - Corners can be continuous or circular. - Frosted glass can be switched on or off. - Artwork tint can be switched on or off. LIBRARY - The A-Z index now lands on the exact letter you pick. Scrolling is smoother, and letter headers stay pinned while you scroll. - Tiles look like Apple Music, and long-pressing one opens an action sheet. - The artist page has Play and Shuffle buttons, and a ⋯ menu that holds Radio and Instant Mix. - Search has All, Artists, Albums and Songs filters, plus a Top Result card. - Swipe a song right to play it next, or left to add it to the queue. - You can select several songs on an album and act on them together. - Favorites and playlists can be sorted, and the choice is remembered. - iPad gets a sidebar. - VoiceOver support is better. PLAYER - The mini player floats above a translucent tab bar. Swipe up to open the player, or sideways to skip. - The full player opens like a sheet and closes when you drag it down. - There's a new shuffle button. Turning shuffle off puts the queue back in its original order, and it stays in sync with CarPlay and Siri. - The sleep timer has a new "End of this track" option. - Smart Shuffle is on by default. It plays recently heard songs later and avoids the same artist twice in a row. Playback, streaming and Jellyfin - ReplayGain can be set to Off, Track or Album, with a preamp from -15 to 0 dB. - A play or scrobble only counts after real listening time: 50% of the track or 4 minutes. Skipping or seeking past the halfway point no longer counts. - Progress is reported every 30 seconds while the screen is locked. Offline play reports are saved and survive the app being killed. - The audio cache is keyed by track and quality. A new Transcode Format setting lets you choose MP3 or AAC. - The Jellyfin dashboard and other clients can now control Nautune remotely. You can turn this off in Settings → Audio → Allow Remote Control. Scrobbling - Last.fm scrobbling is new, using your own free API account. It shows what's playing now and keeps an offline queue, and it works alongside ListenBrainz.
