• VU meter: the ••• menu's Visualizer is now a submenu with Off, Spectrum and VU Meter. The VU meter rises over the lower half of the album art, with a needle each for left and right. Tap it to switch to bars for every channel. On an iPad keyboard, Shift-Command-V still shows or hides the visualizer. • Always Dark: a new option in Settings > Now Playing keeps Now Playing and the mini player dark for tracks without album art, just as tracks with art take on their album's colors. It is off by default. From the previous version, I apologize for the language mixup: • iPhone Duo support: when unfolded, the playlist and Now Playing appear side by side, split along the fold on iOS 27.1 and later. • Laptop posture on iPhone Duo: with the device partly folded, the playback controls move to a Liquid Glass bar at the bottom of the playlist, on the half lying flat. • On iPhone Duo, the equalizer, speed, lyrics and Info open on the playlist's side of the fold at half height, so the playlist and Now Playing stay in reach. As the hinge moves, Now Playing smoothly adjusts its layout. • The playlist now appears beside Now Playing on any device with enough room in both directions, not just iPad. • Shuffle and Repeat: touch and hold either button for a menu that lets you pick any mode directly. The album mode now shows an "A" badge in the corner of the icon, and VoiceOver reads the current mode aloud. • Now Playing picks the layout that shows the largest album art. On iPad with More Space in landscape, it stays stacked instead of placing small art beside the controls. • In the stacked layout, the progress bar and buttons no longer stretch across the full width of large screens. • Play and Repeat no longer change size or fall out of step when you open a card beside the playlist. • All controls and cards now animate together with a single, smoother motion.

• Compatibilidad con el iPhone Duo: al desplegarlo, la lista y En reproducción aparecen una junto a la otra, divididas por el pliegue en iOS 27.1 y posteriores. • Postura de portátil en el iPhone Duo: con el dispositivo parcialmente plegado, los controles de reproducción pasan a una barra de Liquid Glass al pie de la lista, en la mitad que queda apoyada. • En el iPhone Duo, el ecualizador, la velocidad, la letra e Información se abren en el lado del pliegue de la lista, a media altura, para que la lista y En reproducción sigan a mano. Al mover la bisagra, En reproducción ajusta su disposición con suavidad. • La lista aparece ahora junto a En reproducción en cualquier dispositivo con espacio suficiente en ambas direcciones, no solo en el iPad. • Aleatorio y Repetir: mantén pulsado cualquiera de los dos botones para abrir un menú y elegir directamente cualquier modo. El modo por álbum ahora muestra una insignia «A» en la esquina del icono, y VoiceOver anuncia el modo actual. • En reproducción elige la disposición que muestra la carátula más grande. En el iPad con Más espacio en horizontal, se mantiene apilada en lugar de poner una carátula pequeña junto a los controles. • En la disposición apilada, la barra de progreso y los botones ya no se estiran a todo el ancho en pantallas grandes. • Reproducir y Repetir ya no cambian de tamaño ni se desacompasan al abrir una tarjeta junto a la lista. • Todos los controles y tarjetas se animan ahora juntos con un movimiento único y más fluido.

• Lyrics now refresh on their own when a track's tags change, or when you turn LRCLIB lookup on or off in Settings. You no longer need to skip away and come back. • The Now Playing spectrum visualizer now uses the same renderer as Cog for Mac, with slightly translucent bars.

• Liquid Glass mini player: on iOS 26 and later, the mini player floats over the playlist as a glass capsule tinted with the album's colors. When the track changes, the tint fades, the art crossfades, and the title and artist blur into the new ones. • Go to Current Track: hold the mini player, or the art in Now Playing on iPad, to scroll the playlist to the playing track and highlight it briefly. If a search would hide it, the search is cleared. The menu command now does the same. • Info, easier to reach: on iPhone, Info is now a button in Now Playing's toolbar and opens within Now Playing, on the album's colors. On iPad, it's a button next to Lyrics and opens as a card beside the playlist. It's no longer in the More menu. • Acknowledgements: Settings now ends with the third-party credits, grouped and searchable, each with its copyright holders and license. • The waveform seek bar now defaults to rectified and a linear scale, which is easier to read. If you already changed these settings, your choices are kept.

What's new - Waveform seek bar: Now Playing's slider shows the track's waveform. Drag sideways anywhere on it to scrub from the playhead. Its options are in Settings, or you can hold the times under the bar. - Track info: the More menu in Now Playing and the menu on each playlist row now show a track's details: art, tags, format, ReplayGain, play count and comment. The exact length, gain values, and first-seen and last-played dates appear under each value. - Play counts: plays are now counted, as on macOS. - Playlist row actions: search the playlist for a row's artist, album artist or album, or remove the row. - Open in Cog: supported audio files can be opened in Cog from Files and other apps. Cog adds the file to the playlist and plays it. Shared files move into Cog's Music folder. - Added tracks are highlighted: however you add tracks, the playlist scrolls to them and highlights them briefly. If a search would hide them, it's cleared. - Smoother fast forward: holding Next now starts at normal speed and speeds up gradually. - Play and Pause now animate between each other. In landscape on iPhone, Now Playing uses the full screen height. Fixes - Surround output no longer goes silent on 3 or 4-channel devices, and channels now go to the right speakers when the layouts differ. - Hidden "._" files are no longer added as tracks, and any that are already in the playlist are removed at launch.
