What's new in JellyAmp Your full artist roster, finally visible If your library has soundtrack or compilation albums tagged with "Various Artists" as the album artist, the performers on those albums used to be missing from JellyAmp entirely. They didn't show in the Artists tab and couldn't be found in search, even though every track was tagged correctly. JellyAmp now asks your Jellyfin server for all artists, including those credited only on individual tracks, so everyone shows up in the Artists list, in search, and with their own artist page listing the albums they appear on. Note: your artist list may look fuller after this update. That's your library's real cast finally being counted. Apple Watch: controls you can trust Controlling iPhone playback from your wrist is now far more dependable. Previously, if the watch's connection to the phone hiccuped at the wrong moment, a tap on pause could start playback and vice versa. The watch now tells the phone exactly what you meant ("play" or "pause") rather than "flip whatever you're doing," so a delayed or repeated message can never reverse your intent. If a command truly can't reach the phone, the watch tells you instead of failing silently. Apple Watch: audiobooks get audiobook buttons While listening to an Audiobookshelf book, the watch previously showed music-style previous/next track buttons. The buttons did the right thing (skipping 15 seconds back or 30 seconds forward), but they didn't look like it. The watch now shows proper interval-skip controls for books, in JellyAmp's own Now Playing screen and in the watchOS system player alike. Update your iPhone and Apple Watch apps together to get the full effect of the watch improvements.

JellyAmp 3. Our new major update! Audiobooks: JellyAmp now plays your audiobooks. Connect an Audiobookshelf server alongside your Jellyfin music and your library comes with you. • Audiobookshelf support. Add your server in Settings and a new Audiobooks section appears in your Library. Your music stays exactly as it was. • A player built for listening: chapters, playback speed from 0.75x to 2x, skip back 15s or forward 30s, and a sleep timer (by minutes or end of chapter). • Pick up anywhere. Your place syncs to your server as you listen, so a book you started on your Mac continues right where you left off on your iPhone. • Continue Listening. Jump back into your current book straight from the Home screen. • Offline downloads. Save books to your iPhone or iPad for listening without a connection. • CarPlay. When an Audiobookshelf server is connected, an Audiobooks tab joins your library so you can browse and play on the road. • Apple Watch. The watch app is a companion for audiobooks: browse your books and control playback running on your iPhone. Audiobooks can't be downloaded to the watch (due to the limited watch storage), so playback happens on your phone. Your music experience is untouched. Surprise Me, On Repeat, and Mixes stay music only. Audiobooks are a completely separate, optional add-on. All-new Mac app: JellyAmp is now on the Mac as a true native app, built for macOS from the ground up. A real desktop music player with a sidebar library, keyboard shortcuts, and the look and feel of a Mac app. It's included with your existing purchase, so just open the App Store on your Mac and download JellyAmp. Apple Watch improvements: This update is all about making JellyAmp better on your wrist. • Scrolling fixed: the Now Playing screen no longer skips around in the song when you scroll with your finger. Seeking now requires a deliberate sideways drag. • Digital Crown volume: tap the new Volume button in Now Playing and turn the crown to adjust volume precisely. No more fiddly slider. • Faster artwork: covers load quicker and use less data, especially over the Bluetooth connection to your phone. • Better battery life: the watch does less background work while music plays and checks your server less aggressively when you're away from it. • More reliable controls: play, pause and skip taps sent to your iPhone now retry automatically if the connection blips, so your taps don't get lost. • Storage at a glance: the Downloads tab now shows free space on your watch and warns you before it fills up. • Fixed: paying users no longer see an incorrect "Purchase JellyAmp" message on the watch after opening the app. Thanks for using JellyAmp!

CarPlay ! Our most requested feature has arrived: JellyAmp now works with CarPlay. Connect your iPhone to your car and control your Jellyfin music right from the dashboard: • Browse by Playlists, Artists, and Albums • Jump back in with your Recently Added tracks • Amp Roulette spins up a random mix from across your whole library • Full playback controls on the car screen

JellyAmp 2.0 is a major update focused on listening everywhere. • Mac support: JellyAmp now runs on macOS with a desktop-friendly sidebar, playback menus, a working Mac volume control, and an adaptive now-playing layout. • iPad support: a redesigned wide-screen layout adds an Apple Music-style sidebar, cleaner navigation, and queue/lyrics panels that fit large screens. • Apple Watch downloads are more reliable, including background downloads that can survive app suspension. • Downloads are easier to find and manage, with clearer states and offline playback improvements. • New appearance settings let you choose themes and dynamic color palettes. • New offline indicators tell you when your Jellyfin server is unreachable and only downloaded music is available. • Big performance and stability pass across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, including faster library loading, better artwork handling, smoother playback, and more reliable queue/reporting behavior. • Fresh JellyAmp 2.0 app icon and branding.

What's new in 1.7 • JellyAmp now works with Jellyfin servers accessed over Tailscale. (i.e http://host.tail16cit1.ts.net:8096) • Reminder: your server's firewall needs to allow inbound traffic on port 8096 for the app to reach it.

JellyAmp 1.6 • HTTP server support: connect to self-hosted Jellyfin servers that run over plain HTTP (typical for home/LAN setups). You'll see a small warning so you know the connection isn't encrypted, but the choice is yours. • Clearer Server URL field: an inline note now appears when you enter an http:// address, so there's no guessing about what will happen on Connect. • Under-the-hood improvements: refinements to networking, stability, and overall polish for a smoother playback experience.

What's New in 1.5 • Fixed Apple Watch playback so tapping a new song or the skip button actually switches tracks. No more being stuck on the first one you pressed. • Downloads on iPhone are now dramatically faster and far more reliable. Large files (especially FLAC) no longer stall out or get saved as broken files. • Downloaded songs now play back correctly every time, including tracks that had previously failed silently. • The watch no longer loses local playback when your iPhone is sitting paused in your pocket. • Downloaded songs now play immediately even after losing connection. No need to quit and reopen the app. • New download progress indicator on the Now Playing screen, so you can see at a glance when a song is saving and when it's done. • New mini player on the watch. • Clearer feedback when you try to play a song without internet or server access, instead of the app hanging silently. Works on both iPhone and Apple Watch.

Works with embedded ID3 or .lrc files, or the free LrcLib plugin on your Jellyfin server. • On Repeat: a home-screen shortcut that plays your most-played tracks, ranked by your real Jellyfin play counts. • 6 Genre Mixes: Smart Mixes now rotates through 6 genres at a time instead of 4. Tap Shuffle Genres for another six. • Cleaner Settings: the Jellyfin Server and Session cards are merged into one panel with a clear connection status badge. • Reorder hint: a drag handle on queue rows makes it obvious you can move upcoming tracks.

Lock screen artwork Album art on the lock screen, Control Center, and CarPlay no longer flickers during playback.
