UltraPod: Music Player

Apple Music's core experience now works on iOS 15—browse your library, search the catalog, play and favorite songs, and create or append to cloud playlists. New: • iOS 15 now supports Apple Music authorization, library browsing, catalog search, playback, favorites, adding songs to your library, playlist creation, and appending tracks. Full editing of existing cloud playlists still requires iOS 16. • DIY adds a choice to show time and battery at the device top or inside UltraPod, plus an independent top shell blackout saved with templates. Improved: • A valid Apple Music cache now opens immediately. Library checks and derived indexes continue after Home appears, while changes build a complete candidate and replace it atomically without clearing playback first. • If Apple's store or media services stall during an account change, Home, Local Files, Subsonic, and locally verified access remain available. Fixed: • On-device persistent IDs no longer masquerade as MusicKit cloud-library IDs, preventing invalid Apple Music actions and incorrect playback resolution. • Restored the missing Easter egg video.

Local Files and Subsonic lyrics are now complete—from embedded and plain lyrics to LRC files, Enhanced LRC, and OpenSubsonic word timing. Every result keeps its real source, and online completion runs only after consent. New: • Manage Local Files by song, album, or artist. Scanning detects additions, updates, renames, and deletions while preserving stable track identities. • Artist pages across Apple Music, Local Files, and Subsonic now separate All Songs from albums. Improved: • Subsonic works with more servers through protocol negotiation, password tokens, API keys, tolerant library sync, safer streaming/transcoding, scrobbling, and large-playlist updates. • Sorting and queues preserve playlist order and duplicate positions. Shuffle and repeat can now work together without rewriting the playlist you are viewing. • Apple Music cold starts finish local library validation, downloaded availability, and playback lookup setup before Music opens, reducing delayed large-library stalls. Fixed: • Music menus now cover all 9 app languages, restore failures show clearer guidance without exposing internal StoreKit errors, and Settings includes a direct support email action.

• Track changes from Control Center and the Lock Screen are now more reliable across Apple Music and local playback. • Apple Music library changes, account sign-outs, and account switches now rebuild music data cleanly, fixing shuffle errors and missing artwork after refresh. • Screen Lock now opens to a black screen, wakes with one tap, returns to black after 10 seconds, and uses a smoother unlock transition. Wallpaper and password or pattern settings also open from the correct menus. • Music browsing is more consistent: Play All and Shuffle are available at the top of All Music; song lists can focus the current track; Local Files and Subsonic add first-letter fast jumping and direct Sleep Timer access. • Photo, video, favorites, and wallpaper grids continue loading while you drag. • Button click and Control Ring tick volumes can now be adjusted separately.

• More reliable playback and track changes, including correct local fallback when MusicKit cannot play a track. • Artwork now stays stable while changing tracks, and Local Music/Subsonic artwork appears on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. • Better compatibility with older Navidrome servers. • Lower heat by pausing hidden visual updates behind dialogs and editors without stopping playback, downloads, or sync. • Smoother album browsing, direct volume control, and Control Ring seeking from the Now Playing action menu. • Fixed long-lyrics layout, misleading end-of-queue errors, oversized dialogs, and TestFlight launch redirection.

UltraPod now runs on iOS 15 with Local Files and Subsonic/Navidrome—no Apple Music required. New: - Import local audio or connect one or more Subsonic/Navidrome servers. - Each music source keeps its own library, playlists, queue, and playback position. - Create, rename, edit, and sort playlists where the selected source supports it. Improved: - On iOS 15, UltraPod starts with Local Files and fully hides Apple Music controls, authorization, and guides. - iOS 16 and later keep the complete Apple Music experience. Home Screen widgets still require iOS 16. - Subsonic adds streaming, lyrics, favorites, multiple servers, and verified offline downloads. Fixed: - More reliable source switching, queues, resumed downloads, and large-library performance.
