- Adaptive mix: blends songs using beat and phrase alignment, bass swaps, and vocal-aware transitions. Analysis runs on your device.
- Best Mix: sorts upcoming songs by tempo, key, energy, and production style to make the queue flow.
- Standard crossfade: choose a fixed blend from 1 to 12 seconds.
- Gapless playback and autoplay: minimize pauses between tracks and keep listening when the queue ends.
- Editable queue: add, remove, and drag songs into the order you want.
Desktop Adaptive mix requires a GPU with WebGPU support and FFmpeg. Turn the Audio Engine off to enable it, and choose a streaming quality other than MAX. See
