Echo Music v5.0.0 — Major Release

Released May 2026


What's New

Lighter than ever — 38 MB

The app has been rebuilt to be focused and lean. Echo Music now weighs in at just 38 MB, significantly down from previous versions. Less bloat, faster startup, more room for your music.

Canvas support (ported from Vivi Music)

Dynamic visual canvas now powers your listening experience, ported directly from Vivi Music.

Spotify import — no limits (ported from ArchiveTune)

Link your Spotify account and import all your playlists and liked songs in one go — no cap, no restrictions. Ported from ArchiveTune.

New media player (ported from Vivi Music)

A fully redesigned media player inspired by Apple Music's aesthetic. Cleaner controls, better feel, ported from Vivi Music.

Artist & album video covers

When available, artist and album pages now display animated video covers for a richer, more immersive look.

Crossfade improvements

The crossfade engine has been refined for smoother, more natural transitions between tracks.

Music recognizer

Identify any song playing around you instantly. Tap to recognize, get the track name, artist, and album — and add it straight to your library or a playlist.

Bug fixes & stability

Several long-standing bugs have been squashed. This release has been heavily tested and the app is noticeably more stable across the board.
