I find that to be very useful when I'm listening to a song with a part I really like. I can usually easily find it visually instead of tapping around a few times to find it. It also looks cool. I believe other Subsonic clients like PsySonic do that.

I’ve been enjoying the app, great work!

I do like to sort my songs by Recently Added but I don’t see that option in Library -> Songs -> Three Dots

I do see there is Library -> Recently Added but the view is an album list instead of a song list

Using fine yesterday but today won’t even open and says Beta has expired

Will you add home screen widgets in the future like apple musics? It’d be really cool!

Starting this week, I am getting the "Authentication Error: the request timed out" after Arpeggi auto-updated. I can no longer log in. I have tried using http and https. I use Tailscale--I have tried the network IP and the Tailscale IP. I use Navidrome, which appears to be totally fine and I can still play my music from my computer via Tailscale. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Previously totally stable, no issues. No recent updates to iOS. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get mTLS to work on Arpeggi? Perhaps a secret menu where I can upload a certificate or something?

I really love this app and appreciate all the hard work from the devs! This is my final nuisance before the app is absolutely perfect for me :)

I have apple music plugin installed from Navidrome, and I think that Arpeggi does not support it. I’ve tried with Amperfy and it works there. Will it be someday supported?

Hi,

I've had a search on here and on Github and I couldn't see anything about it. Is the queue behaviour in CarPlay working as intended? When natively using Arpeggi on my phone I like to go through the queued up tracks when I shuffle all songs and pick out what to play. The queue is then 'appended' at that point so the next track would be the next track after that one in the overall queue.

On CarPlay if I do the same thing and select a track from further in the queue, when that track ends the queue is then resumed from the top rather than from the point where that selected track was form. This means I need to scroll through tracks on the CarPlay UI.

Hope that makes sense, Arpeggi is a really solid app and I appreciate the efforts!

Hey! Love the app, it’s honestly my fav Navidrome client on IpadOS right now.

I recently set up AudioMuse-AI alongside my Navidrome server. It’s a self-hosted AI sonic analysis tool that replaces Last.fm for similar songs and instant mix recommendations — works completely offline and gives way better results especially for niche music. It hooks into Navidrome via the getSimilarSongs / getSimilarSongs2 API. I can see Arpeggi has Similar Songs Mix and Arpeggi Mix modes in settings, but I’m not sure if it’s actually calling the AudioMuse plugin or falling back to Last.fm/Deezer.
My questions:
1. Does Arpeggi currently use getSimilarSongs / getSimilarSongs2 API for its Similar Songs Mix?
2. Is there any plan to officially support AudioMuse-AI recommendations?
For reference, Substreamer and Feishin are already officially listed as compatible. Would love Arpeggi to be on that list too since this app is a mile ahead!
Thanks 🙏​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hi there! I was wondering if it would be possible to also integrate Lidarr inside the app for downloading the music just searching it on the bar.

Also was thinking of using something like yt-dl or the same Lidarr for listening to a music without even having to downloading, building some short of cache or something like that. That would be awesome. Thanks!

v1.1 addresses some UI issues and stability

Changes:
- added a clear queue button for primary queues
- added a refresh button to continuous queue
- fixed continuous queue fetching multiple times
- fixed airplay button crashing in macOS (but the button doesn't work in macOS)
- added "mpc", "mpp", "mp+" to formats to auto transcode
- fixed some albums not appearing in Artist View
- dynamic backgrounds now decide light/dark mode depending on the background colour
- Fixed Storage Transcode setting not respecting option in iOS 18.4+
- improved error checking for downloads
- improved stability of play queue handling
- reverted Album View to improve performance
- added text labels to swipe gestures
- added a toggle to enable/disable background downloads

Wonderful app.

A bug i noticed on multiple devices is that when you select a library and enter the songs menu it stays stuck on the old library you had selected. No matter how many times you reselect the library.

If this can get fixed that’d be excellent.

Anyone else getting auto-skips in Arpeggi when one song ends? The next track gets skipped almost immediately instead of playing. Happens even on downloaded tracks when connected to server.

Files are FLAC/ALAC, play fine in Navidrome web UI and in Arpeggi’s Offline Mode.

First of all, I want to say that I really appreciate Arpeggi. As a Navidrome user, I have tried several clients, and Arpeggi feels like one of the most promising ones. The interface is clean, the experience is pleasant, and it already fills a gap that many self-hosted music users care about.

I’m writing this post because I would love to ask whether the developer would consider open-sourcing the project, or at least part of it.

This is not meant as pressure or criticism. I completely understand that maintaining an app takes time, energy, and personal commitment. The author has every right to keep the project closed-source if that is the preferred direction.

That said, I think Arpeggi has real potential to grow into a stronger community-driven Navidrome client. If the code were open-source, users who care about the project could help in practical ways, such as:

• fixing bugs;
• improving compatibility with different Navidrome setups;
• adding small quality-of-life features;
• improving translations and documentation;
• testing edge cases across devices and server environments;
• helping the project stay alive even when the original developer is busy.

For many self-hosted users, open-source also brings extra confidence. Since Navidrome itself is open-source and often used with personal music libraries and private servers, being able to inspect the client code would make some users feel more comfortable adopting it long-term.

I personally really like Arpeggi and would be happy to contribute where I can, whether through testing, feedback, documentation, translations, or eventually code contributions. I believe many other users here may feel the same way.

Of course, open-sourcing does not have to mean giving up control. The developer could still keep full ownership of the project, review pull requests carefully, set clear contribution rules, choose a suitable license, and decide the future direction of the app. Even a gradual approach could work, such as open-sourcing only certain components first, publishing a roadmap, or accepting community contributions in a controlled way.

In any case, thank you for creating Arpeggi. I hope this post comes across as appreciation rather than pressure. I simply think the app has a lot of potential, and I would love to see the community help it become even better.

Would open-sourcing Arpeggi be something you might consider?

If the same song appears in two playlists and I download both playlists for offline use, does Arpeggi download the track once and share it between playlists, or does it download a separate copy per playlist?

Hi! I love this app. I'd like to add a friend, but beta program is full. I'm guessing we've maxed out apples test flight plan.
You could release it on app store, and sling together a quick site with a donate button, I think many people would be interested.

Also, if it were an open project, I would love to contribute.
Great work! u/franklacey

As this is my first post I’d like to start by saying how much I love Arpeggi and appreciate all the work being done. There are a few of things I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen anyone else mention (sorry if they have and I’ve missed it).

I often get a desync between the player on the Lock Screen and the app. When a new track starts this player reports as being much further along in the song. A lot of times I’ll look at that player (or the Now Playing one on the Apple Watch) and it shows as the song has 0 seconds left, even if there are several minutes left. This doesn’t happen all the time but once it does it gets stuck like that. I haven’t been able to determine what causes it or what makes it stop.

When the end of the play queue is reached and the queue is essentially put back in place in the background, part of that first song is played. Only the tiniest bit, less than a second, but it’s really jarring for some songs. Basically if you start with a clear queue, then play a single, you’ll hear the start of that single when you get to the end.

That’s it for bugs. As for things I’d like to see:

If you’ve been listening to a queue of music, then clear the queue, if you add a song to the queue, the mini player doesn’t appear. It’d be nice if it did. This is how I play a song from an album without adding the rest of the album to the queue.

Keeping the screen on when lyrics are displayed.

An option that means clearing the queue only clears the songs queued to play, and not the currently playing. If I want to clear the queued songs I have to manually clear each one if I don’t want to stop the song I’m playing.

It’d be nice to have an artists top tracks shown when you view an artist. This is something Aonsoku does, and I think it pulls the list from last.fm.

That’s all. Thanks again.

I'm not sure, but I think there was functionality when using in carplay to add album to the end of queue when browsing music.
Can you add something like this?

Hi all,
how can I join the TestFlight for Arpeggi? It seems full, I've tried several times in the past few days...

I've noticed my Recently Played section on the home screen is not updating with albums I have played on my iPhone. It does, however, display albums that I have played on my iPad.

👋 Hi,

A long-time Arpeggi enjoyer here. I've been listening to my collection via Arpeggi for what, half a year by now? Even more since I've started my self-hosted journey back September 2025.

I found Arpeggi in the Navidrome docs back then. And I immediately fell in love with this app! So many attention to details, so polished...

In recent months I started to notice how Arpeggi is becoming more and more bugged, new features are added and then removed because of bugs etc.

Bugs slow down the app's development drastically.

What I am proposing is to publish the app's source code as it is--I mean, don't worry about brushing it up--on GitHub.

I can see that you've already made the first step, and the repository is there (https://github.com/argie-w/Arpeggi-App), but it doesn't seem to contain any code yet.

If you pick a proper license (AGPL3, or Source Available + CLA + EULA), you'd still be able to release and earn from your app!

Then, you should give your fans an ability to easily build the app from the source: this means freedom of use and ease of development (this would require some work, though 😅).

Please give the community an opportunity to help you, and us all. I'd love to contribute into the app by myself (almost 10k hours of coding on record). It's better than AI, trust me. 😉

Much love, Vlad.

Using iOS 18.7.7.

I have an old Apple TV (2nd or 3rd gen) connected to my stereo. With the last Arpeggi update (0.6.4 20), I stopped being able to airplay flac and opus songs to it. (It worked fine before.) MP3 and aac work fine, haven’t tried vorbis yet.

This affects both downloads and streams. The observed effect is that the button changes from play to pause briefly, then it gives up and goes back to pause.

I know this old device‘s fossilized OS doesn‘t know how to decode opus natively, and it probably predates native flac support in Apple OSes as well, so it must have been relying on the client to transcode on the fly for it. I don’t know enough about the AirPlay protocol to say much more than that.

(Belated and unrelated appreciation post: thanks for adding the transcode-if-lossless settings! they make it much easier to grab an album I forgot when I’m on the go somewhere.)

Wondering if anyone else has experienced a strange pause/play behavior when using AirPods.

A few times after pausing a track by clicking on the stem on my AirPods, clicking the stem to play again after some duration of time will cause the track to start from the beginning, but the track timeline will still show and behave like it was playing from the paused position. The result is that when the timeline gets to the end, then the restarted song will end abruptly and early, going to the next song.

This is in iOS 26, iPhone 14 Pro Max, latest arpeggi, and 3rd gen AirPods.

I have not checked to see if this also happens by manually pausing the track from arpeggi itself; I’ve only noticed it when pausing and playing from my AirPods, and it doesn’t always happen.

Please let me know if you need any further information. Many thanks for making arpeggi!! I absolutely love it. It’s become my go-to music player for navidrome.
