Technical Overview
The updated client logic now retrieves the last active queue entry from a shared service whenever the application starts on a new handset. This service stores a single authoritative cursor that reflects the most recent playback position, regardless of the originating device.
- Upon launch, the app queries the remote cursor and populates the mini‑player with the most recent track.
- The cursor is updated in real time as playback progresses, ensuring consistency across all endpoints.
- This behavior mirrors the cross‑device model employed by competing platforms, providing seamless hand‑off between iPad, Android phone, and other supported devices.
Users can now leave a playlist on an iPad and continue from the exact same point on an Android phone without manual intervention.
