Library Design Update

• New content-type filters at the top of the page make it easier to navigate between podcasts and music in your library.
• Recently Played is now the default view in your library, so it’s easier to jump back into podcasts you’ve already started.
• The Music filter now makes it easier to find saved tracks and albums, and it also gives you a list of all the artists whose music you’ve saved.
• We’ve refreshed the design of the content cards to make it easier to see how much time is remaining on episodes you’ve already started.

# Content Pages Design Update

• All of the different content pages have undergone an extensive redesign, including shows, episodes, artists, albums, tracks, clips and playlists
• We’ve replaced the tab layout we were using on the content pages with one scrollable page, making it easier to access features like chapters and tracklists
• We’ve sanitised the formatting of show notes too, and if there is no activity for a given episode, we now display the expanded show notes

Episode Summaries

• Every episode page now has a Summary button above the show notes.
• Simply pay 500 sats to unlock a summary, or upgrade to Fountain Premium for $2.99/month to enjoy unlimited summaries.
• Summaries and transcripts now come as a bundle — two for the price of one!
• Thanks to major improvements, they’re now faster, cheaper, and more accurate than ever before.

Playback Improvements

• Tracks now load and play instantly when tapped.
• When playing a collection of tracks (e.g. from an artist, album, or playlist), you can now skip seamlessly between them.
• We’ve replaced the scrollable player page with full-screen modals to make it easier to access show notes, comments, transcripts, chapters, tracklists, and your queue.
• The new Smart Resume feature rewinds the episode by 5 seconds when you hit pause, so you don’t miss a beat.
• You can now skip forward or backward by 60 seconds for faster navigation through episodes.
