Every update,
track by track.

iBaila keeps getting better. Updates are free, and arrive on their own.

26 updates since September 25, 2026

  1. 261.13

    Lyrical iBaila, and a lighter iBaila

    • New: Lyrical iBaila, an optional pack with 28 more lyric animations. Have a look at them in the lyric chooser. This update is free for everyone, and iBaila's own lyric animations stay as they are.
    • Lyrics now take less of your computer while they play.
    • On PC, iBaila uses much less memory.
    • New: on PC, you can choose your main display in the settings.
  2. 251.12.2

    Spotify on every PC

    • Fixed: on PC, the Spotify app didn't play when Spotify came from the Microsoft Store, or when the Windows user name wasn't in English letters.
    • Fixed: Play with a music site chosen and nothing played yet now starts your last song there, or opens the site.
  3. 241.12.1

    The light stays on

    • Fixed: on PC, clearing the desk with the moon button no longer hides the light.
  4. 231.12

    Pick your video

    • New: choose the video on your desktop. Dots above the player let you pick the song's own video or another one by the same artist.
    • Songs without a video of their own now show one of the artist's other videos, unreleased songs too. When iBaila can't tell who the artist is, type their name where the dots go.
  5. 221.11.1

    Sound effects, with the mouse

    • Fixed: on PC, the sound effects panel now takes mouse clicks.
    • Search and the menu of where you listen now open above your stickers.
  6. 211.11

    Stickers, sound effects, and a lighter iBaila

    • New: stickers. Pick any photo, iBaila cuts it out, and you stick it anywhere on the player, the clock or the playlist. Move them around the desktop as you like.
    • New: sound effects, from the new button beside the lyrics: Nightcore, Slowed + Reverb, 8D Audio, Bass Boost, Echo and more, plus reverb, pitch and a 10-band equalizer. Turn them on and off while the song plays.
    • New: every desktop video you add is kept in a list, so you can switch between them or remove the ones you don't want.
    • iBaila is much lighter: the lyrics take up to 7 times less of your graphics card, everything else about half, and the player, the light and the wallpaper rest while you can't see them.
    • Fixed: on PC, the light now moves with the music on headsets where it stayed still, like the Logitech G533.
  7. 201.10

    Amazon Music

    • New: Amazon Music. Play it in your browser and iBaila follows it: Amazon's own lyrics, on time with the song, your playlists, likes, the queue, and search that plays on Amazon Music.
    • After updating, open your browser's extensions page and press reload on iBaila, so the extension updates too.
  8. 191.9.1

    Your Spotify playlists

    • Fixed: on PC, your Spotify playlists now show when you listen in the Spotify app.
  9. 181.9

    What's next, and every word

    • New: Queue, in the side panel. See what plays next, play any song from it, take songs out or line new ones up, without opening Spotify or YouTube Music.
    • New: right-click a song in search to play it next or add it to the queue.
    • New: lyrics for songs that have none, unreleased ones too. Press Search lyrics, pick the right song, and iBaila puts the words on time with the song, right on your Mac or PC (Beta, after a one-time download).
    • New: Other lyrics, under the album, to pick another version of the words.
    • New: a music note shows during the instrumental parts and counts down to the next line.
    • Karaoke now lights each line whole as it's sung, like Spotify and YouTube Music.
    • Fixed: on PC, your browser no longer stays on top of every window after iBaila starts a song in it.
