Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen.

As usual, Tempo is free and open source, by the community and for the community. You can follow the development on Github and you can download it from F-Droid as well.

If you appreciate the work put into Tempo, remember that you can star the project on Github or make a donation! It’s not much but it’s useful to help the project grow and give visibility to the app.

Looks pretty and is stable, but two fatal flaws:

  1. Browsing by genres displays individual pieces/songs, not albums. Browsing albums or artists doesn't allow any filtering by genres, years or any other metadata. Haven't found a way to change that behaviour and as someone who listens to albums, not songs, and has thousands of albums this is a complete dealbreaker for me.

  2. No support for UPnP/DLNA to stream from my phone to my stereo (or, for that matter, any modern AV receiver/streamer/network stereo receiver all which support UPnP/DLNA).

To add to this list

  1. Smart Playlists. I know it's being added to OpenSubSonic but I would like to see it in Tempo
  2. Ability to rate tracks in the now playing UI
  3. Ability to change the list order of tracks
  4. Support for multiple queues
  5. It says lyric support is added, but where?
  6. Tooltips for all the things. Not only is this imperative for accessibility, but some things are confusing, attempting to hold on them for an explanation would be nice. Like what's the ascending chart thing for?
  7. There's no way to get from Now Playing to an album
  8. Allow users to configure the how much we need to scrobble as my preference is 30 seconds or 30% whichever is lower
  9. Allow users to set where cached/downloaded songs are stored.

Regarding #5 go to the now playing song and tap on the album cover. 4 options should come up. Its the bottom right option.

Side note. I know the other options have download and add to playlist, but I have no idea what the option with the arrow going up does.

I pressed that and it said something about no description. But see, this is why tooltips are good
