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!

    Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

    I have some quite large playlists I’d like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn’t do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle “only” the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

      Hi, Finamp dev here. I think there might be a “limit 100” on accident in there somewhere, since that is our default “page size”, so the number of items we will fetch from the server at once.
      If you don’t mind, you could open an issue on GitHub or hop into the discord server so I can better keep track of it!

      Hey, is this still an issue in the beta? There are reports from others that have problems with their large playlists because it takes too long to queue them up, so I don’t think the shuffle is limited to a certain number of items.
      Or are you talking about the round shuffle button on the songs/tracks tab?

    Very neat! Been looking for a good alternative for Spotify for a while, I hope this can completely cure me 🙌

      Integrating Music, Video (non-movie, non-TV), Audiobooks, E-books, etc, etc, into a single UI is so problematic.

      Each app I use is better at part of it.

      I like Jellyfin, but it struggles as much as others. I use Mediamonkey for phone sync of Podcasts, music, and some video.

      Hats off to all the devs trying to herd these cats.

      I mean as far as I know it is possible to browse the folders directly in Jellyfin, at least using the web app. There was an option for it in the settings I think. But implementing that for Finamp might be a bit harder, sorry
