Hi everyone! We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’re launching a beta of Finamp’s redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we’re looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone.
The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.
Looks very nice!
How quick and useful is the interface compared to the regular Jellyfin app when playing music? I currently use the regular client, since I already have it installed for video content.
If you use iOS (I can’t speak for Android) it actually uses the system music apis, so things like the dynamic island, airplay, transmission of Metadata information over Bluetooth to players (name, song, etc), and background play control all work with Finamp where they don’t with the regular jellyfin app.
Finamp looks like what you would expect from a music player app. It’s very straight forward to browse you songs by Artists and Albums. It’s easy to make playlists and queue songs ans Albums. Lastly, you can download songs and albums locally and play them offline.
Okay. I can already do that in the normal client app. But this client looks really nice and I’m glad it’s a thing. :)
