Hi everyone! We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’re launching a beta of Finamp’s redesign today. This is a major update to the app, and we’re looking for feedback from anyone willing to try it out before we roll it out to everyone.

The beta is a work-in-progress, there are several new features already, but we will be adding more features over time.

Looks very nice!

    Is this Winamp for Finns or a financial amplification device?

    Curious if this will fix my one issue I have with Finamp.

    I have some quite large playlists I’d like to listen on shuffle. Finamp doesn’t do that well at all. (It seems it only shuffles what it has cached or something, as it seems to shuffle “only” the first 100 or so songs. of 3000+)

      Hi, Finamp dev here. I think there might be a “limit 100” on accident in there somewhere, since that is our default “page size”, so the number of items we will fetch from the server at once.
      If you don’t mind, you could open an issue on GitHub or hop into the discord server so I can better keep track of it!

        “Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

        Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

          There is an open discussion on GitHub for people just like you ^^

          But discord is just much less work to manage, and is a communications platform that I use all the time.
          This is just the beta, it’s not like all of the development and discussionn is happening over discord now. But when I have time to develop and need some user feedback to ask about their problems or opinions, this is just much faster to iterate on.

          In the end, we do this for free, and it takes up our time, so anything we can do to be more productive does help!

            Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.

            Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.

      My issue is that I use a self signed CA, there is some progress in that area, but last time I checked not something usable on my device

        Yeah ideally Flutter (the framework we’re using to develop the app) would support this by default, but it seems like we’ll have to jerryrig something…

          That wasn’t a thing last time I tried. Is that possible now? Or do you mean for my android system? I have the CA installed on my system of course, but iirc the flutter library they use does not use the system store.

            I did mean your android system. I’m not on jellyfin, yet, so not familliar with uts quirks.

      Hey, is this still an issue in the beta? There are reports from others that have problems with their large playlists because it takes too long to queue them up, so I don’t think the shuffle is limited to a certain number of items.
      Or are you talking about the round shuffle button on the songs/tracks tab?

      How quick and useful is the interface compared to the regular Jellyfin app when playing music? I currently use the regular client, since I already have it installed for video content.

        If you use iOS (I can’t speak for Android) it actually uses the system music apis, so things like the dynamic island, airplay, transmission of Metadata information over Bluetooth to players (name, song, etc), and background play control all work with Finamp where they don’t with the regular jellyfin app.

        Finamp looks like what you would expect from a music player app. It’s very straight forward to browse you songs by Artists and Albums. It’s easy to make playlists and queue songs ans Albums. Lastly, you can download songs and albums locally and play them offline.

          Okay. I can already do that in the normal client app. But this client looks really nice and I’m glad it’s a thing. :)

    Very neat! Been looking for a good alternative for Spotify for a while, I hope this can completely cure me 🙌
