Pladio 1.0.251207.1636: Your Radio Experience Just Got Better
I'm thrilled to announce the release of Pladio version 1.0.251207.1636! This update represents a major step forward in making your radio listening experience more seamless, intuitive, and enjoyable across all your Apple devices.
Apple Music Integration That Just Works
Managing your favorite songs has never been easier. I've completely reimagined how you interact with Apple Music within Pladio:
Real-time feedback means you always know what's happening. When you add or remove a song from your library, you'll see clear progress banners and instant confirmation when the operation completes. No more wondering if that button press actually worked.
Protection against accidents ensures your library stays exactly how you want it. The new double-tap protection prevents accidental duplicate actions, so you won't accidentally add the same song twice or remove something you meant to keep.
CarPlay intelligence takes things even further. During operations, the Add/Remove buttons temporarily hide, then reappear with the correct state automatically. No manual refreshing needed—everything just works.
Lock Screen & Control Center Excellence
Your iPhone's Lock Screen and Control Center are now powerful remote controls for Pladio:
Rich playback information appears immediately when you start listening. Station details and beautiful artwork fill your Lock Screen, with artwork updating seamlessly as songs are recognized. Your Now Playing experience looks as good as it sounds.
Reliable remote controls let you navigate your favorite stations using next/previous buttons right from your Lock Screen or Control Center. Phone calls and notifications? I've got you covered—playback pauses automatically and resumes when you're ready.
Smart audio routing means Pladio adapts to how you listen. Unplug your headphones, and playback stops automatically to prevent unexpected speaker audio. Switch to AirPlay, and your session continues seamlessly on your new output device.
Future-Proof Station Database
Behind the scenes, I've implemented a major upgrade to how Pladio manages your favorite stations:
Intelligent migration from the V9 to V10 station ID system means your favorites are preserved, even when stations update their URLs from HTTP to HTTPS. The new protocol-independent identifiers ensure your carefully curated station list stays accessible.
Enhanced database with improved multi-resolution artwork and richer metadata makes browsing stations more beautiful than ever. The new .radiopack format loads faster and includes curated favicons for each station.
Share the Music You Love
Discovered an amazing song or station? Now you can share it instantly to WhatsApp, Facebook, X (Twitter), and more. Each share includes cover artwork and station information, making it easy for friends to tune in.
Start Your Day with Music
The new Autostart Last Station feature is perfect for your morning routine or daily commute. Enable it, and Pladio will automatically resume your last played station when you launch the app. One tap, and you're listening.
Rock-Solid Reliability
I've also focused on making Pladio even more reliable:
Better interruption handling: Phone calls, navigation prompts, and other interruptions are handled gracefully with proper pause and resume behavior
CarPlay synchronization: Fixed issues where button states could become out of sync, ensuring controls always reflect the current state accurately
Get the Update
Pladio 1.0.251207.1005 is available now on the App Store. Update today and experience radio the way it should be—seamless, intelligent, and always there when you need it.
Thank you for using Pladio, and as always, I'd love to hear your feedback!
