Audirvana News Release Notes
1

Following 2026-10-14T22:00:00Z update of Studio, here is the changelog for version 3.4 :

MacOS:

  • Multizone: play different music on several audio devices at the same time. Each zone has its own play queue and settings; you switch zones from the transport bar, and the remote app can control any zone (4 cores or more CPU needed)
  • Synchronized lyrics: the lyrics follow the music, and you can click a line to jump to it. A new karaoke mode shows bigger text, with the words filling in as they are sung
  • Explicit and AI-generated content: tracks and albums now show “E” and “AI” (TIDAL only) badges. In each streaming service’s settings, you can choose to hide them.
  • Audirvana as a UPnP renderer: control apps such as BubbleUPnP find it reliably, and it recovers on its own after a network change. Each zone appears as its own renderer, and the player shows clearly when another app is playing through it
  • Internet radio: unpausing a station now resumes live. Stations given as PLS or M3U URLs now play; you can add a station by its URL, and HLS stations such as France Musique play again
  • Safer library scans on network drives: a brief network hiccup, an unreadable folder, or a looping folder on a NAS no longer removes tracks from your library.
  • Album pages: credits are shown as a clear table where you can click an artist to open them
  • Album booklets: a booklet that can’t be opened now shows a message instead of an endless spinner
  • New languages: Italian, Polish, and Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Security and stability: updated libraries, hardened file and network handling, and many crash fixes
