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.
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!
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.
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?

“Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.
Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

Thanks! :D

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…
