What’s new
Version 1.6.0 · Updated October 4, 2026
Thanks for rocking out with Groove! This update is all about lyrics. By popular demand, Groove now supports synced lyrics with a brand new karaoke-inspired interface. Groove will also automatically find the right lyrics for most songs in your library. This feature is powered by real data, not AI. If Groove couldn't match some obscure favorites, or you need to fix an inaccuracy, you can use the brand new lyrics editor to make changes or import .lrc files. Finally, the artist view has been slightly redesigned. Groove also now uses machine learning to give artist photos, both imported and auto-matched, better framing.
