Filter your library by release date Find the music you're in the mood for, faster. A new Release Date filter on the Albums, Tracks, Artists, and Playlists screens lets you narrow your library by decade or by any of the last few years. Pick "1970s" to surface your classic rock collection, or tap "2026" to see everything you've added lately — you can mix and match as many selections as you like, and they combine with your existing Favorites and Genre filters. Also in this update • Fixed a crash when shuffling playback from the Albums screen with certain audio configurations. • Various stability and behind-the-scenes improvements.

Siri voice control. Say "Hey Siri, play Radiohead in BitDek" and your music starts. Artists, albums, songs, playlists, genres. Siri searches your library and plays what you ask for. "Play jazz in BitDek" queues your jazz collection "Shuffle my music in BitDek" shuffles your whole library "Resume BitDek" picks up where you left off BitDek teaches Siri your artist names and playlists, so recognition improves over time. Import new music, and those names are available to Siri right away. Manage Siri access anytime in Settings > Siri.

Streamlined onboarding experience We've simplified the welcome screens so you can get to your music faster. The upgrade options are clearer, and your empty library now greets you with a prominent Import Music button – no hunting required.

CarPlay support is here. Browse your albums, artists, and playlists from the car display. Pick up where you left off with Recently Played, or jump into something you just added with Recently Added. Now Playing shows your album artwork with shuffle and repeat controls. Tap Up Next to see your queue and skip to any track. A-Z section headers keep large libraries easy to browse. Also in this update: "Bit-Perfect" has been renamed to "Lossless Passthrough," a more accurate name for how BitDek preserves your music's native sample rate through connected DACs.

Accessibility improvements across the board. BitDek now respects your Dynamic Type preferences throughout the app. Text scales with your chosen size while keeping layouts clean and readable across all settings. Display Zoom works properly too. Album grids, the player, and controls all adapt to the narrower viewport without clipping or collapsing. We also fixed visual artifacts in the library navigation that appeared with the Show Borders accessibility setting enabled.

Fullscreen Visualizers Double-tap, long press, or pinch to expand the visualizer edge-to-edge. All four pages stay swipeable. Tap or pinch to shrink back. Faster Import Browsing The import browser now opens immediately and scans folders in the background as you browse. No more waiting for your entire NAS or external drive to finish mapping before you can start selecting music. Audio Quality Accuracy Lossy files (MP3, AAC, OGG) playing through a wired DAC now show "Nominal Quality" instead of "Bit-Perfect" in the audio quality overlay. Bit-Perfect is reserved for lossless formats where it belongs. Bug Fixes • Fixed blank visualizers that appeared after extended listening sessions • Fixed visualizer stutter during playback • Fixed scrolling lag when selecting all folders during an active scan

FIXES Fixed an issue where the mini player could disappear after returning from the background. The player now reliably displays your current track when you return to BitDek. Control Center now stays in sync with your actual playback state. Previously, switching audio routes (like putting AirPods in their case) could cause Control Center to show the wrong button. Added support for AirPods stem controls to toggle playback.
