Download Prism.apk below and install it over your current Prism (your library and settings stay).

Everything since 1.6.0 (1.6.1 was tagged but never released).

New

  • Podcasts. The round podcasts button at the top of Home, beside Customize, opens them.
    • Customize button at the top (Settings → Home screen) can be turned off; Podcasts then takes its place.
    • Continue listening: episodes you've started pick up where you left off.
    • Your shows and Episodes for later from your YouTube Music account, when signed in.
    • Popular shows and episodes, by category.
    • Show pages: newest episodes first, more as you go, save to library and share.
    • Search: new Podcasts and Episodes filters.
    • Speed: 0.75× to 2× from the player's ⋯ menu, for episodes only.
    • Episodes don't look up lyrics, don't blend with Mix, aren't followed by music radio and don't count in Replay.
  • Home screen widgets, in four looks: Prism (frosted cover), Spotify style, Apple Music style and YouTube Music style. Each shows the cover, title, progress, previous/play/next and like; tapping the cover opens the player.
  • Content country (Settings → Home screen → Region). Where YouTube Music isn't offered, pick a country where it is to get Home, charts and search back. Songs a label blocks in your country still won't play.
  • Mix on mobile data. "Measure tempo on mobile data" lets beat matching work away from Wi-Fi (about 1–4 MB per song).

Fixed

  • Pixel Watch: previous and next sit beside play again, instead of like and shuffle.
  • Lyric timing:
    • lyric files that shift their own timing (an [offset] line) were read without the shift, so every line was early or late;
    • some sources used an extended or radio edit's lyrics, which ran early or late; versions more than 8 seconds off are now turned down, and lyrics saved from those sources are checked again once;
    • while paused, lyrics no longer creep ahead and jump back.
  • Karaoke lyrics first. Lyrics that light up word by word are now called Karaoke (Lyrics source shows "Karaoke", "Time-synced lines" or "Plain text"). They win over time-synced lines even when a source earlier in your order only has lines, and songs whose time-synced lyrics were saved before look for karaoke again.
  • Uncensored lyrics: words starred out whole (****, as Apple Music's lyrics do) are filled in now, as in Childish Gambino's "IV. Sweatpants". Songs with a guest in the title find their full words again, and YouTube Music's or LRCLIB's lyrics fill in when Genius doesn't have the song.
  • Menus: swiping a menu down (like the player's ⋯) could stutter, or pop back up after being flung away.
  • Player: an interrupted swipe down could leave the player stuck part of the way down.

Android Auto lyrics are for passengers and for use while parked only. Do not read lyrics while driving.
