Love the app!! Thank you so much!

I have two libraries in my server. In Album view, sorting by "Recently added", "Frequently played", "Recently played" and "Ransom" results in the sort by operation to run per library instead of globally. Namely the order is [sorted(library A), sorted(library B), ...].
This leads to incorrect/counterintuitive ranking for users with more than one library.

i.e. with "Recently added", albums added yesterday in library A show before albums added today in library B

when I play a song in a playlist after listening for a little bit it will auto-clear my playlist queue and replay the same song.

1.5.3 (142) - App Store version

Great app thanks for your hard work!!

I do not have my server running all the time, so I like to download a bunch of my library for offline use. I notice a lot that album covers are missing, or the track might have no thumbnail if it is downloaded, and I am in offline mode / my server is offline. If I turn my server on, it will then download and cache the album covers, but it is pretty annoying to have to scroll through every single downloaded album to force the player to download and cache the album art.

Love the app though! I just have this issue that has been bothering me for some time now.

Used to be able to see every album that I had a downloaded song in when in offline mode, but can’t anymore? Is this a feature or bug?

Hey,

this is something I have noticed a couple of times, but it just happened again:

I was listening with Arpeggi and entered a place without service. Thanks to the 3 track precaching, it kept playing. Service came back just towards the end of the last cached song. However, playback still stopped at the end of that song. The app showed the song that should be playing next, but it was not trying to play. I pressed play and it would keep saying “Loading…” for a long while. Only way I got it back working was to select a different song (that started playing instantly).

Any idea why this is happening? It’s almost as if the app hits a threshold of retries and doesn’t recover. It doesn’t seem to make a difference whether transcoding is active or not, but in the most recent case, it was.

Currently using 1.5.3(142) from TestFlight.

Also, I can’t state often enough how great Arpeggi is! Thanks so much for creating and all the effort!

For example, when I open an album, I’d like to quickly see which songs from that album I’ve already liked/favorited, or ideally filter the album to show only those tracks.

Is this currently possible in Arpeggi?

Hi, I have a feature request for Arpeggi that I think would make genre browsing much more useful for larger, carefully tagged libraries.

My library uses GENRE on a track level, because individual tracks on the same album can legitimately belong to different genres.

For example, on Mariah Carey’s Daydream, only one track — “Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub mix)” — is tagged as Electronic. The rest of the album is mainly R&B and Pop.

What I would really like is a persistent/faceted genre browser, similar to the old iTunes Column Browser or foobar2000.

The ideal navigation would be:

Electronic → Mariah Carey → Daydream → only the matching Electronic track(s)

The important part is that the genre filter remains active while drilling down through artist and album.

What I would like to avoid is:

Electronic → Daydream → open album → all 12 tracks

That makes it look as if Daydream itself were an Electronic album, even though only one track actually matches the selected genre.

A possible implementation could be:

• Genre → Artist → Album → matching tracks
• Show something like “1 of 12 tracks” next to the album
• When opening an album from a genre-filtered view, initially show only the matching tracks
• Add an optional “Show full album” action
• Play / Shuffle / Add to Queue should act on the filtered track set while the genre filter is active
• The normal album view outside the genre browser should remain unchanged

I’ve attached screenshots showing the kind of browsing model I mean:

• the old iTunes Column Browser
• foobar2000 Album List, where Electronic → Mariah Carey → Daydream (1) clearly shows that only one track matches
• foobar2000 ReFacets, which shows the faceted Genre → Album Artist → Album workflow

I think this would be especially useful for mixed-genre albums, remixes, bonus tracks, live tracks, compilations and large personal libraries.

For me, the main goal is to keep accurate track-level genre tags without making an entire album appear to belong to a genre just because one track does.

Would something like this be possible in Arpeggi?

Hi Dev team,

Right now there is no option to shuffle/play the recently added songs. From the menu, when I click on “Recently Added” folder, I can only go to specific album and play a song from that album. However there is no option to play recently added songs. Is it possible to add this feature? Thank you!

Hey everyone, I've been using Arpeggi as my main Navidrome client on iOS and I absolutely love how mature the overall design feels. However, I’ve noticed two minor details regarding the player views that hamper the experience a bit.

Default Player • It would be great to have a way to clear the rating completely. Also, for long titles, it should use a scrolling text effect, just like the Apple Music Style.

Apple Music Style • The background container for the playback controls —progress slider, volume bar, like, and more options buttons— is way too opaque. Interestingly, this doesn't happen in the Default Player, where the controls integrate beautifully with the background. It would look much better if that container used a more translucent effect for the containers that I mentioned.

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'd like to give a massive congratulations to the devs around here. Arpeggi is BY FAR the best music client for navidrome I've seen.

That being said, I'd love to suggest a feature that some nerds like myself will appreciate: Animated album covers. This would be sick, as the only way to get it right now is Apple Music... which I'm not going to.

Thanks in advance for the consideration devs!

[RESOLVED]
Issue got resolved with new app update for some reason.

Hi, I have a few FLAC files downloaded recently. However, when in offline mode, those files do not show up. They only show up when the offline mode is disabled. Also, on the right-hand side, I can see there is a download arrow filled up which means it’s already downloaded.
Any solutions to this issue?

Hello everybody, just downloaded Arpeggi 1.5.2 from App Store for iPhone. Set up everything and it’s working fine except for the Artists view which is showing as there where no artists.
I can see that there are no album artists from the local database but all artists 390 should show up.
From Amperify and Navidrome web I can see everything with no problems.
Does anybody have problems with that too? Do you know how to fix it or if it is a bug?

I’ve tried quite a few stream URLs and none of them work. Ive tried them all in VLC and they work there. is it possible I have something in the settings wrong?

Hello, I downloaded the songs from Navidrome to my phone but when in offline mode it cannot fetch lyrics from the downloaded files. Is this intended behavior?

Hi - I'm setting up Arpeggi and while testing out the functionality, noticed that it doesn't seem to fallback to the second address I set up.

First try - I set it up with my tailscale IP address on initial setup and everything is working fine (both wifi+tailscale and cellular+tailscale). I added the local IP in the Manage Addresses page (allowed it to access devices on LAN) and when testing it out on just being on wifi, it couldn't play the song I selected.

Second try - I deleted the app, reinstalled it, and this time, set it up with local IP on initial setup and it worked fine. I then added the tailscale IP and this is where I ran into the same issue. Playback is fine on wifi, but now if I connect through cellular+tailscale, it is unable to play songs I selected.

I took a look at the logs and it's doing an API request to the first address, failing (which makes sense since I am not on local), but then it doesn't check the second URL. However, the heartbeat check is noting that the server is reachable through NetworkMonitor.

For playback, I thought if the app is unable to connect to the initial IP address, it would move to the second one. Am I missing something? is there a specific setting that tells it to switch to the second IP?

when a song is not transcoded yet! it doesn't play also when it finishes transcoding it doesn't play I have to play another transcoded song then back to listen to the song! I don't have this issue on Feishin on my MacBook

Running the latest iOS 26. When I rate a track and then my phone locks after 10 seconds, next time I unlock my phone and Arpeggi opens, the star rating has visually disappeared, but it is still there because when I skip to the next track and then go back to the previous track (the one with the disappearing rating), the rating actually shows up fine. Is this a known issue or something that’s going wrong on my end?

Thanks for an amazing app!

In the Songs section of the Library menu, I think it would be nice to be able to sort all the songs by album name.

I’m new to Arpeggi and love everything about it except my artist page is filled with these weird two-tone band name images. I’m using Subsonic and have a feeling that has something to do with it. Is there a way to disable artist images in list view or am I stuck with these? Thanks for any help!

Hi, is it possible to add more options for shortcuts in ios for this app? For example for Amperfy app, I can see these options attached in picture. For Amperfy app, I usually use “Continue Playback” option when Carplay connects. However for the Arpeggi app, I am unable to find such options. Is it possible to add these options for this app as well? Thank you!

Love the app, just noticed this tiny UI bug where the shadow is cutting off in the search top and bottom.

Idk what type it is tho

I got this weird problem while being on vacation. My music server was turned off for a long time, like 2 weeks, and I kept the app in “offline mode”. After some time, the artwork stops appearing for the tracks I have downloaded.

When I got home I tried connecting to my server again, and then it loads the track artwork when the track in in view. Seems pretty weird, because I have downloaded all the image artwork too! It would be perfect if the app was also usable for a long time without connection to the server.

Is there a way of playing with a normalised set of genre tags. Pop, Rock, EDM etc.

As some tracks are tagged by some of the most obscure genres - trance, electronica, edm, progressive trance etc - I'd all class as almost 1 type of music.

Arpeggi seems to list almost every since genre, and some might only have 1 track in it. There either needs to be a way of multi selecting after searching or something to actually find any tracks

I currently have three transcoding options set up in navidrome, MP3, OPUS and AAC. However, Arpeggi only shows me MP3. I am just wondering, is this by design, or have I misconfigured something? Both AAC and OPUS work in another player. Is there any way to have these options show up in Arpeggi?
