Amperfy Music 4+

I’m using this with Ampache, which is on the current version. I love the app but have encountered two problems that are real problems for me.

1) in my 2022 Toyota 4Runner, which has CarPlay, I can’t list/search on artists in my collection from the CarPlay app. This means I dig my phone out of the console and do it there, which can’t be considered safe. Is there a way to allow for more functionality in CarPlay? Maybe voice search?

2) in my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder which does not have CarPlay, if the screen goes to sleep, or I navigate away from the app to go to something like Waze for navigation, the music stops. So now I’m driving down the road with my screen on, tapping it on occasion to keep it lit up. Any fix for this?

Thank you for all your effort!!!!!

It doesn’t trigger the transcode on the server side (at least not in navidrome), so if you got a codec not compatible with iOS, it won’t ask the server to transcode, and you won’t be able to listen to that song Other apps work, so it’s just the way this app handles the request That said, this app is wayyy more polished and looks way better than most subsonic apps there (and allows for song list, many subsonic apps show just albums and artists) Would be good to have the app ask the server to change the codec on the fly to mp3/flac so iOS can play it… And would be awesome to get support for the radio stations already set up on the server

Edit: CarPlay just shows recently added songs/artists/albums and favorite songs/artists/albums but there isn’t a way to see all your collection

I loved Amperfy, I have been using it for quite a while now to listen to music off my Navidrome server. It’s been great, the interface was clean and simple, and everything worked how I expected/wanted it to. Last night there was an update that I ran, and now this morning I see what it was. Now if I go to my albums and hit shuffle, it doesn’t just shuffle all my music like it has since forever, no, now it picks a random album and only plays music from that album. I had to add the Songs tab to my homepage and I have to shuffle everything from there. Also the playback menu has changed and has way more unnecessary buttons and things I never asked for nor cared to have. I thought Amperfy was going to be my sole music app for my phone, now I guess I have to start looking for a new one. Maybe I’ll just go back to Plexamp.
