**Plexamp v4.50.21-beta.4**

Out now on the desktop beta channel, TestFlight and Play testing. The main one: Plexamp no longer sometimes stalls for several seconds as it starts.

**Added**

- Desktop: an artist page shows the artist’s style and country beside their name.
- Desktop: the buttons over an artist’s, album’s or playlist’s art sit on translucent circles and light up under the pointer.

**Fixed**

- Plexamp no longer sometimes freezes for several seconds as it starts.
- Desktop: dropping a track you’ve dragged in the queue no longer plays the track it lands on.
- Windows: WASAPI output plays on DACs that stayed silent, such as the Scarlett 2i2 and Xonar Essence STX.
- iOS: AirPlay volume shows the speaker’s real level straight away.
- iOS: on iPad, the Top Albums and Top Artists grids fill the width.
- CarPlay: no longer crashes when two screens open at once.
