Description

5 years of Albums! Wow! Lots of great new stuff in this anniversary update, including Album Notes, new custom icons, Control Center widgets, and more!

Albums is the Apple Music player that puts you in control of your music. Whether you just want to throw on album shuffle or spend hours meticulously sorting and filtering your collection, Albums cares about your music library as much as you do.

Free Features:

QUICK SELECTION
Just press “shuffle,” scroll through a grid of album art, or browse your library to select an album, and easily skip to the next one with album-focused controls.

WIDGETS & CARPLAY
See your music on your home screen with Now Playing, Collection, and Quick Action widgets. Take it on the road with CarPlay, and pin albums and collections for easy access.

ICLOUD SYNC
iCloud sync ensures you can pick up listening where you left off across all your devices.

ALBUM NOTES
Add notes about albums or specific listening sessions.

ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
Albums offers robust Siri interactions and App Intents and supports Dynamic Type.

Premium Tools for Power Users*:

SUBSTANTIAL STATS
Get weekly, monthly, and yearly reports looking back at your listening, and dig into the data with customizable charts.

LAST.FM COMPATIBILITY
Scrobble your listening in real-time or manually. Import your last.fm history to fill in the full picture.

MORE CUSTOMIZATION
Explore built-in Insight Collections highlighting new and unlistened albums, old favorites you haven’t heard in a while, or even music from when you were in high school. Tag albums to create collections of your own. Customize the interface to match the color of your current album’s artwork with a simple two-finger tap.

RICHER DISCOVERY
See what’s next with a release feed of Artists and Record Labels in your library. Delve into production credits from MusicBrainz and Discogs, then browse collections of Record Labels, Producers, and more.

*Requires Albums Premium

Note:
Albums optionally integrates with Apple Health. If you choose to give Albums access to your Workout history, it can create "Workout Jams" Insight Collections, which match up your listening history to your exercise history. You can enable this functionality by going to the Insights tab and tapping the settings gear next to the "Workout Jams" heading. Permission for Albums to access this data can be controlled via the Apple Health app.

What’s New

Version 6.0.1

Features
- Got some thoughts about an album you want to jot down? Add a note! You can add/view notes on an album’s page, and you can also add a note to an individual listening session. Notes are searchable, too! Search the text in a note and any albums with that text in their notes will appear.
- Artist pages now show an image of the artist, a biography, and similar artists along the bottom.
- Browse entire discographies from Record Labels, Producers, Musicians, etc. using the new Discography Browser at the bottom of their collection pages. In addition, biographies and images for these Collections are now displayed when available.
- Lots of minor and medium tweaks have been made all throughout the app to improve performance and quality of life. The album page on the iPad has also been redesigned from the ground up!
- Skip forward and back by album using the new Control Center Widgets. More places outside of the app to do that!
- Albums has a new icon for the first time in 5 years! There are also some new alternate icon choices, including the classic icon, which you can select on the Settings tab.
- The Tag Picker now has a “Recent Tags” section at the bottom

Changes:
- Due to changes in the latest OS, the “Tag an Album,” “”Untag an Album,” and “”Add Album(s) to Library” Shortcut actions have been split into two actions each: one that takes an artist and album name, and one that takes an “Album” as returned from another Albums Shortcut action.
- The swipe gesture between tracklist/credits/stats has been removed. You can use the segmented picker to switch.
- It may take 24 hours for notes you’ve added to album sessions in previous versions to be viewable as Album Notes
- Several features have been freed from behind the paywall. Sorting collections, viewing the current day’s releases on the Release Feed, and Immersive UI are now available for all!

- Improved scroll performance on the Insights tab
- Improved performance on the collection list page
- Fixed an issue where tracks on multi-disc albums couldn’t be hidden

- Fixed an issue in the iPad app where the Collections tab would be blank if the app is opened in full view on a tab other than then Collections tab, then converted to splitview or slideover
- Fixed an issue in the latest OS where music might not resume when hitting the play button
