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.

The OpenSubsonic project aims to extend and improve the classic Subsonic APIs in various ways: by adding new endpoints, clarifying existing APIs, or extending functionality. All while maintaining backward compatibility with the old APIs. Understanding whether the server supports the API, requesting the list of supported extensions and acting accordingly is the first step to integrating the OpenSubsonic API. Initial work was done with synchronized lyrics using an endpoint that does not exist in the classic version of the API but was introduced by OpenSubsonic.

Yes I use it. By far the best mobile app I’ve used with Navidrome and possibly the only one with lyric support.
As far as I known, subsonic is currently closed source and other reimplemented the api with open source programs. Than some people got together to make a standard that was not tied to a closed source programs.

I found this and this which seems to flesh out what it is pretty well.
The tl;dr is they added some flexibility to the API because since subsonic went closed source everybody’s been working off the original specs which doesn’t account for all the extra bells and whistles that have been added in the past seven years.

I think this is the first subsonic android client that is not an eyesore. I wanted to use something like this for a long time but the clients were simply to ugly and aesthetics are important to me. I will definitely give it a try and maybe even submit some PR if I find something missing and have time to contribute. You have my star.
Looks pretty and is stable, but two fatal flaws:
-
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.
-
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).

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.

This looks amazing. I am planning on setting up navidrone soon and will certainly check this out!
Is there an equivalent for Jellyfin that anyone knows of?

Does this have synchronised lyrics ?
It will have support before Jellyfin 10.9 is officially released. I’ll be working on that feature myself! :D
Super excited for this one! Thank you so much
So, have you tried it already? :D
Yes sir! <3
Nice! And how do you like it? Anything that’s missing or not working for you? :)

Lovely!
Thanks for this! I tried tempo like a year ago but kept using substreamer. Time (haha) to give it another shot.

Tried it with 3.7.0, but somehow the app stopped working, and I’ve continued using Ultrasonic, but will give Tempo another try, as soon as 3.8.0 is available on F-Droid. Liked the Tempo-UI more, than Ultrasonic’s.
When will the new version be available in fdroid?
Love everything about this app, thanks for the hard work!
This prompted me to open Tempo I have installed from F-Droid but haven’t used in a while, and the app crashed on startup. Logcat had the most unusual message:
03-27 18:40:31.304 W/GooglePlayServicesUtil(6188): com.cappielloantonio.tempo requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing.
