Qobuz updates mobile player with real-time lyrics

Qobuz launched a redesigned player for its mobile and tablet application in Paris on 23 July 2026. The update applies to iOS and Android and adds real-time synchronized lyrics for Qobuz subscribers. It also changes the player interface, queue handling and tablet layout.

The new player uses visuals that adapt to the album artwork during playback. A redesigned mini-player remains visible while users move through the app, and it can be customized with three shortcut options. On tablets, the interface includes a split-screen mode.

Lyrics now scroll line by line in real time during playback. The lyrics feature also includes translations. The listening queue can show the next three upcoming tracks, and tracks can be reordered or removed with swipe gestures.

Qobuz has also revised the listening screen around discovery and recording context. The Explore section recommends related albums, artists, playlists, radio stations, record labels and genres from the currently playing track. The credits layout includes album reviews, biographies, digital booklets and technical file data.

The mobile and tablet update follows Qobuz’s February 2026 CarPlay overhaul. Qobuz supports Siri voice control through CarPlay and the mobile app. The new player and lyrics features are available to Qobuz subscribers on iOS and Android.
