• Embeat Connect no longer skips tracks when sending music to a device, and songs you've downloaded now play there too. • If another device starts playing on the same speaker, Embeat pauses instead of looking like it's still playing. • On a Mac with Apple silicon, the app no longer closes when opening the now-playing screen.

You can now tell it to stop in twenty minutes. • Sleep timer. Pick when the music should stop from the now-playing menu, with the countdown on screen. It counts wall-clock time, not music: if a call interrupts you, it keeps counting. • Works with Jellyfin 12. If you updated your server and the app had stopped letting you in, this version fixes it. • Home refreshes itself. Favourite something from the browser or another device and the phone updates on its own, without closing the app. • Embeat Connect also opens from Settings, not just from the playback screen. • Sound and queue: repeating a track no longer ends in silence, the next one no longer starts where the last one was, resuming from cold plays where the bar says, and pausing on a speaker no longer leaves the wrong button on the lock screen.

Your downloaded music now plays in the car, server or no server. • Downloads in the car. A new CarPlay tab with what you've downloaded to your phone: it plays in the car park, in the tunnel and far from home, even when the server is out of reach. • Radio from the car. A button on the playback screen starts a radio from whatever you're listening to. • Your phone's downloads now play. Tapping a track on the Downloads screen plays it, with the rest of the album behind it. • When a track can't be played, the app now tells you instead of going quiet. Durations and badges line up in lists, text that showed up in the wrong language is fixed, and so is casting to Jellyfin servers on your home network. • If you already had music downloaded, download it again for it to show up in the car.

Embeat now plays in your car. • CarPlay. Your library on the car screen: recent, new, favorites and playlists, with cover art and the queue. One tap plays, and favorites now include albums and artists, not just songs. • No more gaps on mobile data. Capped-quality tracks no longer leave seconds of silence between one another when you're off Wi-Fi. • Sonos from Jellyfin. Hi-res music from Jellyfin now reaches Sonos speakers, adapted on the way and still lossless. • Embeat Connect finds devices faster, and no longer keeps you waiting when Wi-Fi is off. • Plugging in headphones mid-song no longer stops playback. • If a server doesn't answer, you can now switch to another or add one without leaving the screen. And the first track of an album is seekable again.

This release is all fixes. • Connecting over a VPN. If you reach your server through Tailscale, WireGuard or any address outside your local network, the app no longer stops at "couldn't connect". • No gaps between tracks. Continuous albums and live recordings play through the track change without the short silence, and the end of a track is no longer clipped. • Downloads. A download that failed halfway was reported as complete. Not any more. • Embeat Connect. Casting to DLNA speakers starts sooner and recovers from a device that accepts a track and stays silent. On Sonos, tracks with no album no longer lose their title and artist.

Sonos support in Embeat Connect You can now send music to your Sonos speakers: they appear in the device list, you control them from the app, and the Sonos app shows what's playing, with artwork and a progress bar. Gapless playback works there too. Sonos won't take audio above 48 kHz. If your library is hi-res, Embeat adapts it on the way while keeping it lossless, so it plays anyway. More reliable playback • Removed the brief gap when changing tracks on mobile data. • Skipping quickly on a weak connection no longer stops playback. • Fixed a pause that got stuck on "loading" with an unresponsive play button. • Plugging in headphones mid-playback no longer leaves the app silent. • Seeking within a FLAC file is now accurate. iPad and accessibility • Icon buttons now meet the minimum recommended size — no more aiming. • Fixed the top row of Now Playing, which on iPad could end up under the status bar.

Embeat is now native on iPad. • A sidebar instead of the tab bar: Home, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and Playlists, always in view. • Two panes when there's room: the list on the left, the detail on the right, without losing your place. • Two-column player, with the full editable queue beside it. • Search shows the results and the selected item at the same time. • Rotating the device keeps both your selection and your place in the list. And for everyone, iPhone included: • Tapping a song in Songs, on Home or in search now plays it, with the queue taken from that same list. • Shuffle in the playlist detail and in Songs, across the whole library rather than just what's loaded. • New playlists appear under Playlists without pulling to refresh. • Gone: the double back arrow in Genres and Playlists. • Home sections no longer disappear after you reorder them.
