Playback & Queue

The Now Playing screen, queue management, sleep timer, playback speed, and crossfade.

Now Playing

While a track is playing, a mini player sits above the tab bar. Tap it to open the full Now Playing screen, where you can:

  • Play / pause, skip to the next or previous track, and seek within the track.
  • Repeat — cycle Off → Repeat One → Repeat All.
  • Shuffle the current queue.
  • Start radio — build an endless queue of related songs.

Fullscreen player

From Now Playing you can go fullscreen, which gives the artwork and lyrics the whole screen and rotates into landscape.

  • Double-tap the left or right half to seek backwards or forwards by 5 seconds; an overlay confirms the jump.
  • Lyrics show here too, including the AI translation when you have it enabled.
  • The lyrics provider can be switched without leaving the screen.

Queue

From the Now Playing screen you can manage what plays next:

  • Add to queue / Play next.
  • Reorder tracks (move up / down).
  • Remove a track from the queue.
  • Endless queue — when enabled, SimpMusic keeps adding related songs so playback never stops.

Sleep timer

Stop playback automatically after a set time or when the current song ends.

Open the Now Playing screen and tap the sleep timer.

Pick a preset — 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes — or choose End of song, or enter a custom value (1–9999 minutes).

To cancel, open the timer again and remove it.

Playback speed & pitch

Adjust playback speed (and pitch on Android) from the Now Playing sheet.

Playback speed & pitch is disabled while Crossfade is enabled. On the desktop app, only speed is available.

Crossfade

Crossfade smoothly fades the current track out while the next fades in. It's off by default; turn it on and tune it under Settings → Crossfade:

  • Crossfade duration — Auto, or 1–30 seconds (default 5 s). "Auto" estimates from the track's BPM and needs a 320 kbps stream with BPM data.
  • DJ-Style Transition (Android) — applies filter sweeps similar to Apple Music's Automix. This one is on by default once crossfade is enabled.
