- 📦iMusic - Stories and Joy updated to version 2.0.0iMusic v2.0.0
This update writes the guide in the language you are reading. Switch the interface to English: 5,307 pieces (dek, essay, and listen tips), 44 categories, 58 collections, and 1,342 artist bios already have English copy. Song titles stay in the language they were sung. Open it to meet one song worth hearing through.
1. English listening guides. Change the language in Settings. Today's Piece, shelves, the essay, the player's essay layer, spoken reading, music cards, and the large widget use that English copy. It is not translated on the phone. An artist name shows in English when one is shipped. Fifty-seven well-known songs add a quiet English line under the original title. Famous-line lyrics stay as sung. A later piece without English falls back to the original.
2. Visualizer. Cover style's spectrum is now a visualizer with eight looks: Halo, Neon bars, LED blocks, Peaks, Mirror, Dots, Ribbon, and Fluid. Colors can follow the cover, or switch to neon, rainbow, glow, or white. Tap to cycle; touch and hold to choose. A 30-second preview can follow the real sound. A full song cannot expose its audio, so the picture follows the beat and the sections. It is not a waveform taken from the file. The mini player stays a small vinyl.

This update keeps the line you are hearing after you leave. It can float above other apps, with the next line in dim type. Open it to meet one song worth hearing through.
1. Floating lyrics. The lyrics footer in the fullscreen player, and the More menu, both open it. On iPhone it uses system Picture in Picture: the line being sung sits a little above the middle, with the lines around it filling the page. When the line changes, the page eases forward. Pinyin, romaji, or a translation stays with that line when those rows are on. Play, pause, and skip on the window move the page to the matching moment. Tap the button again, or close the window, to put it away. Returning from the window opens the player. If this device cannot use Picture in Picture, the button stays hidden. If the system refuses, iMusic says so instead of doing nothing. Play a song first. While lyrics are still loading, or when this song has none, the window says so.
2. Floating automatically when you leave the app is off. Turn it on under Playback and Quality, and the current line stays up when you leave while a song is playing. Opening Control Center does not start the window. When the song stops, the window closes.

- 📦iMusic - Stories and Joy updated to version 1.13.0iMusic v1.21.1
This update makes every list feel like a session in progress, lets Mood Walk go further, and polishes Cover Flow and the Now Playing widget. Open it to meet one song worth hearing through.
1. Lists look and behave as one family. Categories, collections, search, favorites, Listen Later, listen lists, recent history, More on Apple Music on an artist page, and the essay layer in the player now show clear track numbers. The playing row lifts forward and the play control becomes a waveform while audio is on. Editorial tracks, catalog results, and saved Apple Music songs share one now-playing rule, so mixed favorites never highlight the wrong row.
2. The editorial library grows to 5,305 pieces. New entries include Kelly Chen Notebook, Xu Liang Bad Girl, Pull Away, and Ke Guan Bu Ke Yi, each with fresh essays, plus tighter Apple Music matching so playback stays closer to the credited recording.
3. Two new famous lines join the daily line and browsable list. Compare adds two curated pairs: Notebook with Kelly Chen and Steve Chou on the same song, and Bad Girl with Pull Away for Xu Liang joking then saying goodbye.
4. Mood Walk now defaults to twenty pieces. On the picker you can choose ten through two hundred. Roam on Home still plays ten unique random pieces; the two paths stay separate.
5. Cover Flow in the player moves closer to classic desktop: angled side covers, the focus card stacked forward, and a pre-rendered mirrored reflection under each artwork. Swipe settles briefly before the track changes.
6. When queue playback cannot match a track on the storefront, the immersive player holds on the recovery card for about five seconds with a countdown before trying the next song, with a light toast when playback resumes.
7. On the essay lyrics reading page, Play opens a menu: play now, play next, add to queue, or Listen Later, without leaving the reader.
8. Vinyl, cassette, CD, and score defaults live in one place: Settings and the player More menu write the same preference for the whole app, instead of a per-track temporary override.
9. The Home Screen Now Playing widget spins vinyl, cassette, or CD while audio is on, with clearer labels in tinted glass modes. Reduce Motion and Low Power Mode keep it still.
10. Swiping up to expand the player keeps bottom controls aligned with the cover through the spring, so progress and buttons no longer drift alone on large screens.
11. The Home Screen Now Playing widget: the large size shows year, era, a magazine hook, and up to three Up Next tracks (title and artist); medium adds progress; small cassette fills the shell face.
12. When playback cannot match Apple Music, recovery cards name the track in the title; jumping to another music app copies the visible title and artist to the clipboard first.

- 📦iMusic - Stories and Joy updated to version 1.12.0爱音乐 v1.12.0 重磅更新
这一版把沉浸页做成一间可以自己布置的听室,也让你在 Apple Music 里听过的歌,能走进自己的听单。打开它,仍然是为了遇见下一首值得停下来听完的歌。
1. 主屏幕可加入播放器小组件。正在听时跟上封面和曲目,点上一首、播放、下一首。没有在听时,卡片回到今日一乐,提醒你今天也值得停下来听完一首。控制中心也可以绑一枚播放开关。
2. 收藏页可以把 Apple Music 资料库里的歌单、最近添加或最近播放,一次带进新听单、已有听单、收藏或稍后听。对上精编的,赏析还在。再同步只追加远端新歌,你在这边整理过的不会被覆盖。最多三千首。
3. 歌手页精编曲目下面,还可以看这位歌手在 Apple Music 上的更多。点一首,就从这首连播这一次的结果,不必离开这一页。沉浸页的导听层同样有。
4. 沉浸页背景可以换成毛玻璃、流光、海报或聚光,也可以继续用封面取色渐变。设置和播放页更多菜单改的是同一项,每一首都跟着走。
5. 播放页可以临时改成封面流。中间正对正在听的这一张,左边是上一首,右边是下一首,左右滑即可连着切。也可以改成频谱,试听时频谱可以跟着声音走。这两项不跟随年代,只活在这一次。
6. 设置里能看到当前这一首的编码。无损、高解析度和杜比全景声仍在系统设置的音乐里改。还可以选择更偏向录音室,或允许现场版排在前面,并决定蜂窝下要不要预拉下一首试听和高清封面。
7. 店面暂时没有这一首时,恢复卡可以按曲名和艺人,到你常用的其他音乐应用继续找。赏析还在,导听还可以读完。
欢迎在 App Store 留下你的反馈与评分。你的一句留言,会帮我们把下一首找得更准。… more - ✏️iMusic - Stories and Joy: description updated· CN
- 📦iMusic - Stories and Joy updated to version 1.11.0爱音乐 v1.11.0 重磅更新
这一版让心情漫步开出更多扇门,也让刚搜到的歌能留在你自己的听单里。打开它,仍然是为了遇见下一首值得停下来听完的歌。
1. 心情漫步不再只有心情。可以从情绪、场景、年代、流派或地理走进去,点一下就抽出十首。艺人尽量散开,并避开刚听过的。想走得更准,就再叠几项:同一类里多选,对上其中一项即可;不同类叠在一起,就要同时对上。先点夜晚,再带上香港,抽出的歌都会落在这两扇门里。播放页会写清这一次从哪进来。随便走走还在。
2. 搜索里的 Apple Music 歌曲,可以和精编曲目一起收藏、加入稍后听或听单,右下角标着 Apple Music。这类歌没有赏析,点进去直接播放。换了地区暂时对不上时,会显示暂不可播,记录还留着。设置里可以关掉这个入口,已经保存的不会丢。最多一千首。打开 iCloud 同步后,这些歌也能跟到你的其他设备。
3. 赏析页可以打开歌词来读。词按前奏、主歌、副歌、桥段和尾奏分成段,方便对照导听,不跟着播放滚动。正在播这一首而且已经查过,打开就能直接读。
4. 整曲播放且歌词带有段落标注时,进度条会标出副歌,点一下就跳过去。三十秒试听不显示。可在设置里关掉。
5. 队列分成接下来,以及播完一轮后会再听到的。可以移到下一首、多选移除、存成听单、全部加入稍后听,或清空其余、留下正在听的这一首。队列空了,可以就地漫游十首。若这一次全是 Apple Music 歌曲,不能存成听单。
6. 从播放页或从一句歌词做成乐卡时,多一套播放器风格,把正在听的这一帧留在卡片上。
7. 歌手页、合集和名句的排序可以选择方向。年份可以从新到旧,也可以从旧到新。曲名和艺人也可以反过来排。换一页还记得,不会写进设置。
8. 精编曲更容易播到你点的这一首。播放会先认这首录音本身,再按店面曲名核对。曲名和艺人都要对上,同名的另一版更不容易冒出来。
9. 在 iOS 26 上,页面滚到顶部时,和导航栏相接的地方改成柔和的模糊,阅读更安静。

- 📦iMusic - Stories and Joy version 1.10.0iMusic v1.10.0
The line under the title is now a magazine dek, and cover style can be remembered in Settings.
1. The dek no longer restates year, artist, or title. Those already sit on their own rows. It is about thirty characters of situation.
2. VoiceOver on Today's Piece reads the dek. An empty artwork hit is hidden.
3. Essays and listen tips that told you to use headphones, play through at bedtime, or avoid shuffle were rewritten from the song itself.
4. Cover style in Settings now persists. Following the era: score for classical or before 1955, vinyl for 1955–1979, cassette for 1980–1999, CD from 2000. The player menu can still change this track only.

Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About iMusic - Stories and Joy
First launch: Continue or Later. If denied, open Settings. Essays read either way.
1. Listening essays
One page holds title, artist, dek, segmented essay, listen tips, related pieces, notes, and playback. Lists show numbers, playing-row highlight, and waveform play control. Long-press to copy, translate, or make a card. Read previous and next from a collection or an artist page. Essay-page lyrics read by section and do not follow playback.
2. Today's Piece
One work a day on a magazine card, picked by calendar, festival, and season. Refresh draws from the whole library, skips what you saw today, and prefers another artist. The widget and the reminder follow. Roam plays ten unique pieces. Mood Walk defaults to twenty (ten to two hundred in the picker) by mood, scene, era, genre, or place.
3. Immersive player
