Changelog

This update introduces lossless audio support, local media playback, home screen enhancements, improved playback behavior, automatic data migration, and numerous refinements across the app.

Lossless Audio (Beta)

Echo Music now supports lossless music streaming.

This feature is currently in beta and relies on third-party providers. Availability, performance, and reliability may vary depending on the source and region. When lossless audio is available, Echo Music will use it automatically. If lossless playback is unavailable or encounters issues, the app will seamlessly fall back to YouTube's Opus audio streams to ensure uninterrupted playback.

Important Notes

  • Lossless audio requires compatible audio hardware to provide audible benefits.
  • On unsupported devices, speakers, or headphones, the difference between lossless and standard high-quality audio may be minimal or unnoticeable.
  • A stable and high-speed internet connection is recommended for smooth lossless streaming.
  • Users with limited bandwidth may experience a better overall experience using standard audio quality.
  • As this feature depends on third-party services, occasional issues may occur while the feature continues to mature.

Lossless Downloads

  • Added support for downloading lossless audio.
  • Currently supports FLAC downloads only.
  • Download availability depends on third-party services such as Qobuz and may not be available for all tracks.

Local Media Support

  • Added support for local media playback.
  • You can now play music stored on your device directly within Echo Music.
  • Local tracks are integrated into the player experience and can be managed alongside your online library.

  • Songs are now automatically added to the playback queue.
  • Lyrics are loaded automatically when available.
  • Improved queue management and playback handling.
  • Enhanced track transitions for a more seamless listening experience.
  • Reduced buffering and improved playback reliability in various scenarios.

Automatic Data Migration

  • Added automatic data migration during app updates.
  • Existing settings, downloads, and application data will now be migrated automatically whenever possible.
  • Significantly reduces the risk of data loss when upgrading to newer versions of Echo Music.
