A fresh crate and a smoother Stream. New crate — "If not now, then when?": 13 new songs from the collective, with cover art for every track. Featured artists are now credited right on each song, so collaborators get their flowers. Your playlists, front and center — the ones you make now show first on Home, ahead of the curated crates. Better Live sessions start faster with less delay, no more spinning on slower connections, plus chat avatars and tap-to-send reactions. Polish & fixes sign-in and account buttons work everywhere, with smoother navigation throughout. Thanks for riding with The Niiji's. Pull up, press play, and stay awhile.

Playlist added back to the main home screen. Sign in button active again.

What's new in this build: Home screen reorganized. Your Playlists and Your Favorites now sit together near the top so you can quickly get back to your own playlists and the songs you like. New Releases now has its own dedicated page. Tap See all under New Releases on the home screen to browse the full list. Hottest in the Circle and New Releases now only show songs that can actually be played. Albums, EPs, and vinyl that have no playable track no longer appear. Tapping a song now plays it reliably. Fixed the issue where tapping certain items did nothing. Like counts now update right away when you favorite a song. Add to Playlist now prevents duplicates. If a song is already in a playlist, it shows Added instead of adding it again. The Now Playing scrubber has a cleaner, simpler design. What to test: Open New Releases from the home screen and confirm the page loads and songs play. Tap songs in Hottest in the Circle and confirm they all play. Favorite a song and confirm the like count updates. Add a song to a playlist, then try adding it again and confirm it shows Added. Scrub through a song using the progress bar on the Now Playing screen.

What's new in 1.0.5 Live DJ sets — catch The Niiji live and watch in full-screen vertical from the new Live tab. Live chat — talk with the tribe in real time during the set. Tip the DJ — send Sunbird (SBRD) tokens to show love, and top up your balance right in the app. Plus playback and performance improvements.

A brand-new Now Playing screen — your music spins on a real vinyl record, with the cover art on the disc and a tonearm that tracks along as the song plays.

Smoother playback with fewer freezes, plus edit your display name from your profile. New vinyl-record Now Playing screen (tap the artwork to open it) — check the record spins while playing, freezes when paused, and the tonearm moves toward the center as the track progresses. Also confirm Favorites save reliably and playback stays smooth.
