iPad and iPhone Duo - Albums and playlists fill the screen: as many covers side by side as fit, upright and in landscape. - The player opens full screen. In landscape the cover sits beside the controls. - Album, playlist, artist and collection pages show the cover beside the title. - Lyrics open full screen with larger text. - The mini player stays compact and centred. - On iPhone Duo, Luma follows along when you fold or unfold, and the music keeps playing. - In narrow windows on iPad, Luma keeps the familiar iPhone layout. New: Technical Details - A song's format, sample rate, bit depth, bitrate and loudness. For the playing song, also the signal path to the output and a live spectrogram. - Turn it on under Settings › Playback › Advanced. Then find it in a song's menu and via the button in the player. Lyrics - The lyrics view now has a scrubber and playback controls. - Lyrics files come along with your songs from the Mac (with Luma Transfer 1.1 or Luma for Mac 1.1). Songs already on the iPhone get their lyrics added. - Lyrics files are matched to the right song more reliably on import, and they take priority over lyrics in the tags. Playlists and Collections - New playlists open the song picker right away. Empty playlists get an "Add Songs" button. - The picker always shows how many songs are selected, even after searching. The button next to the search field just hides the keyboard. - Collections are sorted by year, oldest album first. Drag the albums into an order of your own and it stays. "Sort by Year" brings the sorting back. More - Tap Library or Playlists again to scroll back to the top.

Receive music from your Mac - Large transfers now run smoothly, even with thousands of songs. - New overview at the top: how many songs have arrived, percentage, progress bar and time left. It stays in place while you scroll. - The list follows the song that is arriving. If you scroll yourself, "Go to Current Song" brings you back. - If the connection drops, the transfer no longer gets stuck. What has arrived is kept, and sending again only transfers what is still missing. New: Backup - In Settings › Library & Storage › Backup you save playlists, collections, likes and listening stats in one file. Music files are not included. - To restore, import your music first, then the file. Stats and likes find their songs again, even if the files are new. Importing twice doesn't create duplicates. - Exporting and importing all playlists moved here from the Playlists tab. Single playlists can still be exported from their context menu. Also - Importing a playlist again no longer adds songs twice when their info has changed. - English texts now say "1 album" instead of "1 albums".

New: Receive music from your Mac - Send music from your Mac straight into Luma, over your Wi-Fi or a USB cable. No servers and no cloud. - On the Mac you need the free app Luma Transfer or Luma for Mac. Drag in albums, folders or your whole music collection. - In Luma, tap Import Music › From Mac. You confirm every transfer on your iPhone before anything arrives. - Songs you already have are skipped before they are sent. If there isn't enough storage, Luma tells you up front. New: Export your library - In Settings › Library & Storage you can copy your whole library, with readable folder and file names, to a folder of your choice. Playback - Albums and playlists scroll along with the playing song, as long as you aren't looking somewhere else. - Seeking all the way to the end now finishes the song instead of starting it over. - When the next track follows directly on the album, you get a gapless transition instead of a crossfade. - After a call or another interruption, music only resumes if it was actually playing before. - If the playing song is deleted, playback continues with the next one. - Sleep timer "End of Track": the same song no longer starts again afterwards. - The player closes once nothing is playing anymore. Queue - "Clear" only removes the upcoming tracks, the music keeps playing. - Clearer wording: "Play Next" adds to the queue, "Next Track" skips. Also - New in Settings: Luma for Mac. - An empty library now has an "Import Music" button right there. - Renaming an album to the name of an existing album merges the two. - Lyrics in older text encodings are read correctly. - English translation completed, texts revised. - Lots of small fixes for playback, the queue and importing.

New: Collections - Group whole albums into collections, such as every album by one artist, from one genre or one era. Collections live in the Playlists tab. You can reorder them, rename them and pin them to the home screen. - "Add to Collection" is right in every album's menu. New: The Luma folder in the Files app - Put music or whole folders into Files › On My iPhone › Luma, or drag them in from a Mac in the Finder. Luma imports them automatically as soon as the app is open, then tidies the folder up so nothing takes up space twice. - "Share Audio File" for songs, albums, artists and playlists: send them via AirDrop or save them to the Files app. Search - Much faster, even with large collections. - History: recently opened results appear below the empty search field. Swipe to remove an entry, or turn history off in Settings. - If you like, the keyboard comes up as soon as you open the Search tab. - Tapping next to the search field puts the keyboard away. Queue - The queue is split in two: "Added by You" and "Then Automatically", so you see at a glance what you queued yourself. - "Play Last" puts songs after the other songs you added, still ahead of the rest of the album. Shuffling leaves them where they are. Editing info - Changes to title, artist, album and more are now also written into the music file (MP3, M4A/ALAC and FLAC). - Artist and album artist are separate fields, plus the disc number. Songs with featured artists stay in their album when you edit them. - Albums show the artist under every track (can be turned off in Settings › Appearance). Library & lyrics - Sorted by artist, an artist's albums appear in release order. When sorting by release year, albums without a year go last. - Synced lyrics are now also picked up from .elrc and .ttml files next to the song. If there are several, the synced one wins. Backup - Your music is now fully included in your device's iCloud Backup, so every song plays again after a restore. Depending on the size of your collection, the backup needs more iCloud storage. To exclude Luma, go to iOS Settings: your name › iCloud › iCloud Backup. Also - Clearer Settings: General, Playback, Appearance, Library & Storage. - New: "Help & Feedback" in Settings. - Complete English translation. - Bug fixes for playback and volume normalization.

What's New in 1.3 • Volume levelling: all songs now play at the same loudness, no matter how loud the file is. On by default, can be turned off in Settings. • Synced lyrics: if a song has lyrics in its file, a Lyrics button appears in the player. Timestamped lyrics (LRC) follow the music line by line – tap a line to jump there. • Better import: songs no longer show up with random letters and numbers as their title (existing ones are repaired automatically). Large imports are more reliable, can be cancelled, and show exactly which files failed. • New ways to import: share or open audio files from other apps directly in Luma, or drag and drop them. • Change covers: set your own cover for any album or song. • Confirmations: a short message confirms when something was added to the queue or a playlist. • Press and hold: albums, playlists, artists and songs now show their options menu on a long press. • Artist pages show albums as a gallery. • More to customise: square or rounded covers, the swipe gesture for the queue, and the order of pinned playlists on the home screen. • Queue and shuffle behave more predictably: tapping a song plays the list in order, Shuffle mixes it. • Noticeably smoother: faster lists, instant play/pause, no more stutter when changing songs. • Search: tap anywhere outside the field to dismiss the keyboard. Your library, playlists and likes stay exactly as they are.

New - Custom playlist covers: Pick a photo, an auto-generated cover, or a mosaic of your own album art. - Reorder your queue: Drag upcoming tracks into any order. Or hit "Mix" to reshuffle only what's coming up, without interrupting the current song. - Filter Smart Playlists: Narrow Most Played, Favorites and more by genre or decade. - Genre edits now carry through: Change an album's genre and all its tracks follow, so Smart Playlists stay accurate. - Jump from the player to your library: "Show Album/Artist" now opens the full page in your library. Improved and fixed - Rock-solid audio on the go: No more crash when the output changes (plugging in EarPods, connecting car or Bluetooth) and you press Play. - Reliable resume over AirPods and headsets: Play-after-pause works instantly again – single-press, lock screen, and in-app. - Renaming a playlist from the three-dot menu works reliably again. - Smoother with large libraries, plus general polish.

What's New Custom playlist covers: Give every playlist its own look — a mosaic of your album art, your own photo, or a generated pattern (color, texture, symbol). All-new audio engine: true gapless playback with no gaps between tracks, smooth crossfade (0–12 s) and a 10-band equalizer with presets — lossless as long as you don't actively shape the sound. Smart playlists: automatic lists like Most Played, Recently Played, Liked, by Genre and by Decade — now with filters (e.g. "Rock from the 80s"). Better queue: reorder freely with drag & drop, "Play Next", reshuffle and clear — and it survives app restarts. More highlights: • Resume session: your queue and position are right where you left off • Sleep timer with a gentle fade-out • 5 app icons to choose from and a customizable home screen • Playlist backup (export & import) • Multi-select tracks Performance & stability: • Smooth even with large libraries (1500+ tracks) • Reliable Lock Screen and Control Center controls • Fairer play counting and many stability improvements Enjoy your music — with no account, no cloud and no tracking.
