User Reviews

  • Great app!
  • Great music player! Sound quality is awesome (I use it over AirPlay). Can show the navigation tree either by filesystem folders or by MP3 tags. Filtering for matching songs is very fast.
  • A very nice music player, but it still can't play multi track ALAC, FLAC and WAVPACK files correctly, the are detected as single files. Please remake to, this one has so much potential
  • A new star among audio players on macOS?
  • It is the best minimal music player and I love it. But i would like to have a darkmode for windows version. And my songs album arts isnt being displayed only few of them are.
