Annual plan price drop. Now $83.90/year ($6.99/mo), down from $96. We've also updated how subscriptions are managed for a smoother experience.

We’ve completely redesigned the mini player. Now, instead of jumping to a full screen, the mini player expands right where you are—giving you quick access to playback controls, your Up Next queue, sleep timer, and more. We’ve also made it easier to listen straight through albums and collections without interruption. It’s a faster, simpler way to stay immersed in what you’re listening to.

Search is here! You can now find audio shows, audiobooks, and music by title or keyword. We’ve also made a number of performance improvements to help everything run more smoothly.

Our heroes at last catch sight of land. Through their spyglass they see a mountainous island in the distance, and share the good news with the crew and their passengers. The music turns joyful and all rejoice while they continue to bail water. And then, suddenly and violently, they run aground on an outer reef. The ship is caught. Our heroes realize that it is high-tide, making it unlikely they will be able to break free. They ponder their options, and start preparing their dinghy for a small expedition. Fixes and improvements.

Links are made linkier.

Already lost and running low on supplies, our brave heroes start to hear strange and uncomfortable music play, and take this as a cue that something else might also be wrong. Inspecting their ship, they discover that they are now taking in a concerning amount of water—a consequence of the storm. The music intensifies. They cannot lighten the ship—all their cargo is too precious—so they make it a point to find land. They spot a flock of birds in the distance, and set their sales to follow in what they hope might be the direction of land. Reporting is improved, gift certificate redemption is polished up, download states are made statelier, buttons are hidden, details are moved around, and hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved.

A heavy storm approaches, the first to be encountered on this voyage. The storm lasts for days, and our heroes and their new passengers are swept far off course. They take turns manning the crow’s nest, peering through a spyglass, double checking their charts and projections. For weeks, the cloud-filled nights prevent them from navigating by the stars, and when they emerge they can’t recognize the sky above them. Buttons are swapped, menus are tidied, bugs shooed out, some items are given more padding, age displays are updated, banners are improved, text is corrected, various flows are made cleaner and flowier, gift certificate minting and sending is implemented, and hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved.

While reviewing inventory in the cargo hold, our heroes discover stowaways. Whole families, having snuck aboard the ship at their last port of call, are seeking opportunity and adventure on the open seas. It is far too late for our crew to turn back, so they cautiously accept their new shipmates, while they seek to improve the conditions on board. Leap year bugs are squashed, listening interval progress is finessed, subscription setup is improved, banners improved, flashing is fixed, and hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved.

Through weeks of open water and last minute polishing (and duplicated release notes), our fledgling crew finds their sea legs and arrives with much excitement at their first major port of call: a joyous colony of thousands of mothers. Our heroes proudly hawk their wares, speak of the merchants they sourced their materials from, learn what their new customers are eager to see, and even briefly have a chance to conference with the financiers of their new ship, who by chance are also visiting this colony. As they take stock of their inventory, and evaluate their success, they find themselves encouraged, and with a long list of improvements they’d like to make next. Account management is improved, marketing flows are made flowier, accidentally flashy items are made to not flash, certain too-short drawers are made much longer, and more hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved.

Our heroes arrive at their first stop: a small fishing village on a neighboring island, where they intend to showcase their wares and try out their trading skills in a smaller setting before heading out to open water. As they dock, they realize that in the rush to launch they didn’t bring one of their key gangplanks, making it impossible for some of their intended customers to board the ship. The crew scrambles, ultimately repurposing some materials that they had intended for other uses. Sign-in flows are improved, added an authorization method using a 6-digit code, displaying recommended age to episodes, enhancement in buttons, greetings, text naming, updated navigation and more hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved. Our heroes lower the new gangplank, laughing to themselves, thinking that it sure is great they figured this out on the first stop.

The scene opens with our heroes at the start of their new adventure. Having proudly launched their brand new trading vessel from shore, they sail out from the harbor, confident about the journey ahead. Triumphant music plays, and the crew smiles and cheers, eager to make it to their first port of call. Immediately and unceremoniously, they find their small ship engulfed by an annoying plague of bugs, making it difficult to see and impossible to progress. They are relieved to discover that the bugs are not big scary bugs, but instead small, easy to manage bugs. Minor fly-swatting and pest management commences. Recommended ages are updated, buttons are added and fixed, visual inconsistencies are consistencized, missing items are replaced (and incorrectly placed items are made to go missing), scrubbers are made even scrubbier, text is updated, and hard-to-understand back-end stuff is improved. Our heroes emerge victorious, confident that nothing else can possibly go wrong, and start swabbing the deck.
