Playback Music

Magic Mix reorders any of your playlists into an optimal arrangement, and Playback now understands the songs you've imported yourself, not just the ones from Apple Music. New • Magic Mix — press and hold one of your own playlists to resequence it along Playback's similarity walk, so each track eases into the next. Preview the new order, then play it or save it. • Improved reliability for imported and local songs. Playback infers their genre and energy from the artist's catalogue and reads BPM straight from the file, so tracks you've added yourself surface in Songs and Design like everything else. Improved • Design mode now respects the songs, artists and albums you've hidden. • Siri and Control Center steer away from the same tracks the app does. • Imported album tracks stay together as the walk moves through them. Fixed • Improved reliability for offline mode. • The save dialog no longer offers a stale name. • Fixed an overlapping banner and a mislabelled top artist. • Various UI fixes.

Playback now works fully offline — without a connection, every mode sticks to the songs you've downloaded, so the dial only ever lands on something you can play. New • Offline mode keeps your gems, playlists and designed runs playable wherever you are — no signal needed. • Press-and-hold or right-click any song to see the energy and BPM Playback detected, and override detected values. • A new Library Health card shows at a glance how much of your library has been analysed. • Your song analysis now syncs across your devices via iCloud, so a new iPhone or a reinstall skips re-analysing everything. Still completely private: no accounts, no tracking. Improved • "How Playback Works" now shows your real library and candidate counts, not estimates. • The filter panel warns you when your filters get too narrow to surface good songs. • Smoother dial settling, and tidier title transitions. • Spin the dial with a two-finger trackpad swipe on iPad. • New setting to turn haptics off. Fixed • Imported and local songs now play more reliably on Mac. • Various UI fixes. • Updated App Store screenshots, plus minor refinements.
