What's new in Echo Music (github version) 1.4.4

Every update is meant to make Echo a little better from every corner. Not everything here will be for you, but there's something in this release for most people: a brand-new Music Flow, your Spotify library inside Echo, and a big round of Android Auto and playback fixes. Here's what's new.

Highlights

  • Music Flow is now a full-screen, swipe-through reel with synced lyrics, reachable from the navigation bar.
  • Browse your live Spotify library and playlists, and stream them on demand.
  • Extension audio is now preferred when available, with lossless FLAC support and a FLAC badge in the player.
  • Set separate audio quality limits for Wi-Fi and Cellular, with estimated data usage for each level.
  • Android Auto now shows artwork reliably, offers Home recommendations, and can autoplay when you connect.

New Features

Music Flow

  • Swipe-based discovery: Browse music in a vertical reel with synchronised lyrics and playback controls (#643).
  • Immersive layout: Edge-to-edge artwork or Canvas background, with tap to play or pause.
  • Nothing OS menus: The top menu is now a native bottom sheet with grouped cards, subtitles, and icons.
  • New entry point: Music Flow moved from the Home banner to the navigation bar's More options sheet, above Shuffle. Access can be turned on or off in preferences.

Spotify

  • Live library browsing: A new Spotify tab in Library shows your profile, liked songs count, and playlists. It can also be set as the default Library tab in Appearance settings.
  • Playlist detail screen: Browse tracklists with a cover hero, Play All, Shuffle, and an indicator for the playing track.
  • On-demand streaming: Spotify tracks are matched to YouTube Music streams when played, with no copies added to your local database.
  • Pinned Liked Songs: Liked Songs now sits at the top of your playlist list with gradient cover art and a pinned badge.

Player and Audio

  • 10-second seek buttons: Optional skip back and forward buttons in both player layouts, available through settings search (#623).
  • Network-aware audio quality: Choose separate quality ceilings for Wi-Fi and Cellular. Each level shows its bitrate and estimated data use per hour. Metered connections and Data Saver are respected.
  • Data plan protection: High-bandwidth extension FLAC and ALAC streams are only used at Lossless or High quality.

Extensions

  • Prefer Extension Audio: New toggle in Extension Settings. When on, streams are resolved through enabled extensions before YouTube Music.
  • Lossless FLAC support: FLAC streams now show the lossless badge in the player.
  • Easier setup: Extension names are filled in automatically when you add one.
  • Faster playback: Extension audio is preloaded for upcoming songs in the queue.

Android Auto

  • Autoplay on connect: New setting, off by default, that resumes your queue when you connect.
  • Home recommendations: New Home section with suggested and recent items. YouTube playlists now show 20 songs instead of 10.
  • Reliable artwork: Covers now appear on the instrument cluster, in compact layouts, and in long lists.

Home

  • Hero carousel: New Home carousel with song selection (#643).

Localisation

  • Spanish: Complete translation of core, Echo, and updater strings, in a consistent informal tone (#647, #648).
  • French: Complete translation, plus new Discord and Music Flow strings (#618, #656).
  • Bengali: Updated translation (#636).

Improvements

Interface

  • Spotify screens: Library and playlist detail redesigned to match the Nothing OS 5.0 look, with transparent top and bottom navigation strips on playlist detail.
  • Local library: Removed the duplicate top bar in embedded mode, restored filter chips, standardised padding to 16dp, and added a cleaner empty state with scan actions.
  • Play and pause icons: Now use rounded Material Symbols.
  • Music Flow: Simplified by removing the bottom seek bar and song bar header.

Lyrics

  • Faster fetching: Lyric requests are bounded and shared between callers, which reduces latency.
  • Long metadata: Long track titles and artists now scroll.

Extensions

  • Better matching: Search queries are cleaned of feature tags and clutter. Matching now requires the artist to agree and respects requested versions such as remix or live, so a different song is no longer substituted.
  • Faster connections: DNS handling is improved for Vercel-hosted endpoints, and requests have explicit timeouts.
  • Cleaner endpoints: /manifest.json and trailing slashes are removed from extension URLs.

Android Auto

  • Stable Home shelves: Shelves are cached and refreshed in the background, so they no longer appear and disappear between visits. Empty shelves are hidden.

Security

  • Safer AI endpoints: Custom AI endpoints now default to HTTPS, and requests to cloud metadata addresses are blocked (#614).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed volume fluctuations while the next track was prebuffering (#607).
  • Fixed the background service staying active after clearing the app from recent tasks (#603).
  • Fixed artist names containing "&" showing as fragments such as "amp;" in the player, playlists, and search (#640).
  • Fixed downloaded songs not sorting by download date (#605).
  • Fixed a crash when opening Stats for songs without artwork (#646).
  • Fixed the wrong track playing when selecting a downloaded song (#666).
  • Fixed being unable to remove a song from a playlist while it plays (#655).
  • Fixed extension queues repeating the first track's audio.
  • Fixed Cast showing the wrong progress and seek position in Music Flow.
  • Fixed the restored queue losing its continuation paging when the player started late.
  • Fixed a cancelled lyric request cancelling it for everyone waiting on the same lyrics.
  • Fixed YouTube radio continuation stopping after failed retries.
  • Fixed Blocked Artists not highlighting from settings search.
  • Fixed the playlist pause toggle.
  • Fixed missing or blank artwork in Android Auto, including covers falling back to the app icon.
  • Fixed Android Auto Home rows showing a warning icon or opening to empty shelves.
  • Fixed Home exclusions, download scheduling, export cancellation, lyrics timing, and settings routes.
  • Fixed an unescaped apostrophe in the French Varispeed description and a duplicate Spanish string.

Internal

  • Version bumped to 1.4.4 (versionCode 165).
  • Dependency updates: Guava 33.7.2-jre (#661), google-services 4.5.0 (#662), lottie-compose 6.7.1 (#659), reorderable 3.1.0 (#583), work-runtime-ktx 2.12.0 (#584), adaptive 1.4.0-alpha03 (#585), protobuf plugin 0.10.0 (#587).
  • Added tests for HTML entity cleanup, null-safe stats queries, queue selection, and seek behaviour.
  • Moved Android Auto artwork loading off the main thread and cached decoded covers.
  • Removed obsolete documentation files and updated repository URLs to EchoMusicApp/Echo-Music.
  • Added reference repositories to the ignore list.
  • Recorded fixes in upcomingupdate.json.
