New Web Player Update!

We’ve made some updates to the web player!

• Double-click to Play Tracks — You can now choose between single-click and double-click to play in Settings > Playback. Existing users will retain single-click playback by default, while new users will eventually have double-click playback enabled by default. If you frequently play tracks by mistake when trying to select them, you may want to try double-click!

• Lyrics in the Full Screen Player (Premium) — Lyrics can now be viewed in the web player’s full screen player, like in the mobile app, if lyrics are assigned to a track.

• Play Record Percentage — You can now choose when a “play” is recorded based on how much of a track you’ve listened to: 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%.

• News & Updates — New major updates and features will now appear as a message when you open the web player. You can still browse past News & Updates posts here: news.ibroadcast.com.

We hope you enjoy these improvements – please let us know what you think!

Casting no longer sees my network soeakers

As of this week, hitting the cast icon opens a list of just the mobile devices logged in to my account. Previously it listed all the Google Smart speakers on my home network.

For a few days this was the case on my Pixel phone and my Wife's but the Galaxy tablet was still showing the full list, however this evening the tablet doesn't list the speakers either.

Has anyone else encountered this recent change in behavior?

Anyone else who likes having their whole library sorted neatly into genres?

(genre names in Spanish because that's my first language lol)

I always change the metadata of whatever I download to fit into these genres (or I make a new one if it doesn't fit anywhere). Sometimes I'll even use the secondary genre feature to specify further: e.g. "Progressive", "Indie", "Alternative" are all secondary genres and they go after Rock/Pop/Electronic/etc.

New user wondering if you archive everything or only what you like

Hi all. I've been using ibroadcast for a few weeks and figuring out how to use it going forward.

With physical media, I regularly skip past songs I don't like. Here, that would mean deleting the track from the library. Do you use it this way? Or, do you save everything?

Connecting to wiim amp ultra

Hi, I'm having problems connecting ibroadcast to my wiim amp ultra via Google cast. It worked fine preciously but now it doesn't. When using ibroadcast I connected previously by clicking on devices and clicking on the ultra from there. But now the ultra is not listed as one of the available devices. I've checked the wiim app it still has Google cast enabled. I've tried restarting everything but still have the problem.

Not sure if this is a problem with ibroadcast or my ultra.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

App freezing and crashing on iPhone & iPad

At my last straw with this app. I am aware I have a very large library 17tbh but the apps continue to keep freezing while searching in library or it will just crash. It’s almost not even useable anymore

Songs skip slightly at the end of playback

I listen to a lot of audiobooks on iBroadcast and in between tracks it seems to trim the silence at the end of tracks (and maybe the beginning too) so it’s quite a jarring and abrupt transition to the next chapter.

I know trim silence is an option in settings but it’s disabled and I’ve toggled it a few times to make sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why is my iPhone playing mp3

i upload all of my flacs to ibroadcast and then stream from my phone as a way to get away from spotify until my DAP comes, but i saw that all my tracks are mp3s when they are obviously FLAC since that is what i uploaded and on the website it recognizes them as flac too. why are they only streaming as mp3?

EDIT: i didnt know there was a premium option, so the freemium version defaults to 128kps MP3
