Always getting better.

• Ask Siri to play music — through the Siri cell in CarPlay's Search tab, or with the Siri Remote on Apple TV
• New CarPlay Search tab: browse Songs, Artists and Albums by letter, or by Genre, Decade and Favourite Songs
• Playback now picks back up automatically after being interrupted by Siri, Alexa or a navigation prompt

• Fixed pausing on Apple TV and returning to the Home screen sometimes starting playback again on its own
• Album covers now appear instantly with a lower-resolution preview while the full-size image loads
• The currently playing song now leads the Apple TV Top Shelf

• iPod sync: plug in your iPod classic or nano (3rd/4th generation) and it appears under Devices
• Sync your whole library, or pick the albums and playlists you want on your iPod
• Album artwork, lyrics and artist bios go onto your iPod too
• Songs that play on the iPod are added to your Statistics
• Rate a song 5 stars on your iPod and it becomes a favourite in Musical, and favourites show as 5 stars on the iPod
• Pause, resume or stop a sync at any time, and keep everything copied so far if you unplug mid-sync
• Music in any format plays on your iPod — Musical converts it automatically

• Compilation support with various artists
• Improved import/export capabilities
• MacOS and iOS widgets

Steadier streaming and stats you can trust.

Improved

• Statistics, fixed. Your listening stats now count plays correctly, and your iPhone and iPad pick up new plays from your Mac incrementally instead of re-downloading your whole history.
• Steadier connections. iPhone and iPad reconnect to your Mac faster and more reliably, including when you move between Wi-Fi and cellular.
• Faster song starts. Streams begin sooner, and your Mac pauses background preparation work while a device is listening.
• WAV and AIFF stream properly. Uncompressed files are now converted to the quality your device asks for instead of being sent at full size.
• Hi-res and multichannel files now convert correctly for streaming.

Under the hood

• General reliability and performance polish.

A warmer welcome and a tidier Mac.

New

• A brand-new welcome. Musical's first-run experience has been redesigned from the ground up, in the style of musical.rocks. It walks you through what matters — your own collection, lossless playback, offline listening — and gets you into your music faster.
• Personalise before you connect. Pick your default tab, choose whether to remember shuffle & repeat, and decide whether to show suggestions during setup — then pair.
• A redesigned About. Settings ▸ About now matches the website: what Musical does, the "own it once" promises (Pay once, Lossless, Offline, Private) and a plain-English note that your music stays yours.

Improved

• Connect to a Mac, inline. Pairing another Mac now lives directly in Settings ▸ Devices as a normal, scrollable list — no more cramped floating window.
• Tidier menus. Removed the redundant File ▸ New Window and Musical ▸ Services items.

Under the hood

• General reliability and performance polish.
