Discovery comes to Sonicwave — and the system floor drops to macOS 14.

Start Radio

Right-click any song or artist → Start Radio. Sonicwave asks your server for a similar-songs mix (Last.fm agent or Navidrome 0.62+'s sonic analysis) and queues it, seed first. Servers without a metadata agent fall back to top songs, then a shuffle of the artist's own tracks — the button always plays something.

Artist pages grew up

A portrait header with an Artist Radio button, an expandable biography, and a Similar Artists shelf that navigates in place.

Shuffle Albums

Whole albums back-to-back in random order — the shuffle that keeps gapless albums intact. In the Controls menu and on the Albums grid, honoring your genre/decade filter.

Now runs on macOS 14 Sonoma

The minimum system version drops from macOS 15 to 14 — including 2018–2019 MacBook Airs that can't run Sequoia.

Fixed

  • Dragging multiple songs into Up Next or a playlist scrambled their order; drops now preserve the order you grabbed.

Install: unzip, drop in /Applications. Signed & notarized — no Gatekeeper warnings. Requires an OpenSubsonic server (Navidrome, Gonic, LMS, …) or try the built-in demo server button.
