Listen from your own music server

  • Connect a Navidrome, Subsonic or Jellyfin server and play your whole collection from it. Murphy can find servers on your Wi-Fi for you.
  • One tap switches between the music on your phone and your server. Your server gets its own Home with mixes, albums, artists, playlists and favourites.
  • Searching your server forgives small typos.
  • Choose the streaming quality for Wi-Fi and for mobile data, or don't stream on mobile data at all.
  • Murphy can report what you play back to your server.

Lyrics

  • Murphy now finds lyrics online (from LRCLIB) for songs that have none, and prefers versions that are timed to the song. When it isn't sure, you pick the right one.
  • Translate lyrics, or show them in Latin letters.
  • Choose the lyrics text size and whether they're centred, and keep the screen on while you read along.
  • Show lyrics on the home-screen widget, or on your car stereo over Bluetooth.
  • Lyrics that aren't timed to the song now say so.

Playing music

  • Crossfade between songs, and gentle fades when you play, pause or skip.
  • Skip the silence at the start and end of songs.
  • Swipe the mini player left or right to skip; a small "Next" or "Previous" label shows where you're going.
  • Make the mini player and the player your own: ±10 second buttons, a wavy or straight progress bar, a progress fill or ring, a spinning cover, and which buttons to show.
  • Pause automatically when the volume reaches zero.

Look after your hearing

  • Listening breaks remind you to rest your ears.
  • Set a volume limit, for headphones and the speaker.

Your library

  • Smart playlists that build themselves from what you play.
  • Edit an album's title, artist, year, genre and cover in one go.
  • Hide songs you don't want to see, and bring them back from Settings.
  • Leave out low-quality files, and list songs by "Artist A; Artist B" under both artists.
  • Artist photos and biographies (optional).
  • Weekly automatic backup to a folder you choose.
  • After scanning, see how much of your library has artwork, which formats you have, and any files Murphy can't play.

Stats

  • Shareable stats cards, like a year-in-review, to save to your gallery or send to friends.

Look and feel

  • A new calm, grey look by default; the colourful look is still one tap away in Settings.
  • New themes: pure black, colours that follow the time of day, and festive themes for the holidays.
  • A new welcome and setup that walks you through Murphy.
  • Choose whether Murphy opens on Home, Library or Search.
  • Battery saver turns off extra effects and animations.
  • Settings are rebuilt, with a search to find any option quickly.

Faster and more reliable

  • Murphy starts faster, and the player opens more smoothly.
  • If Murphy ever stops unexpectedly, it tells you next time and keeps a crash log you can share with the developer (Settings › About › Crash logs). Logs stay on your phone.
  • Beta updates: try new versions early if you like (optional).
  • Fixed: lyrics not following the song when the next one starts, the scan summary showing 0% artwork, the weekly backup switch being hard to turn off, and the lyrics menu not responding while lyrics load.
  • Many other fixes and improvements.
