Also included, a bunch of bug fixes, including: - Deleted some cruft for a slimmer binary, so you can pack your phone with even more whatever! - Fixed a bug where song title and artist was said twice in VoiceOver - Added VoiceOver action in player to toggle the announcement of title and artist

We're excited to bring you Eter 2.3, with new features and improvements you’ve asked for, along with the ongoing bug fixes we add to every release. Um, until we run out of bugs! Here’s what we’ve added: Shazam Support - You can enable Shazam automatic song recognition in Settings. Once activated, Eter will periodically use Shazam on the stream audio to enhance song metadata in the player, improving recognition accuracy. This means you can see what’s playing (and choose to copy it to the clipboard or open in Apple Music) even when the stream does not provide track metadata. - Permissions: Shazam requires microphone access, but within Eter, it only listens to the audio being played through the app, not your actual microphone. - By default, Shazam recognition will be enabled for all favorite stations. You can customize this by enabling or disabling it per station in the favorites list; tap the Edit pencil to see this and other per-station settings VoiceOver Improvements - Better navigation in My Stations and History tabs. - New rotor actions for the My Stations list, allowing reordering via drag & drop, moving stations to the top or bottom. - New rotor actions to open songs in the History in Apple Music (if available) and copy song details to the clipboard. - Additional accessibility refinements for a smoother experience. Experimental Chromecast Support - Paid users can enable Chromecast (Google Cast) support in Settings. - Once enabled, a Chromecast icon will appear in the top right corner. Tap it to select a device and start or stop casting. Additional Enhancements - Added a preference to choose whether newly added favorite stations appear at the top or bottom of the list. - Fixed an issue where new stations added to the top of the list didn't always appear in the first position.

Eter 2.0 brings… - A significant design refresh, with a new app icon, cover artwork and more, all the original work of our Winnipeg designer, Brady Froese! - Expanded search options: you can now search by genre, place or whatever comes to mind and Eter will check the radio-browser.info tags to see what it can find. Search results show radio-browser's most popular streams at the top. Of course, you can still search by station name or add any stream manually using that stream’s URL. - Recently played tracks: premium users will now see a new tab showing their listening history (for streams that publish this). Just like in the player view, you can tap a song to open it in Apple Music. - Media key support: you can now play or pause audio, move through your streams or tracks, and control volume right from the keyboard. - Mac only: we heard you! Premium users can now choose to use Eter as a menu bar app and hide it from the Dock. Check out the Settings to see all your options. - iOS only: swipe to delete from My Stations or History.

This disappears if you upgrade, of course!
