I have been searching for an app that does what this app does for a very long time.Simply downloading files makes them visible to the app, and it’s easy to add them. I wish the folder management was easier to understand - when I add files I wish they would automatically create a new folder instead of adding them to my current folder. But most likely I just need to dive a little deeper into the app info.Still - make no mistake, this is a killer app, super helpful for musicians like myself who are evaluating mixes and masters. And now Car Play!
Does exactly what it says and does it well

I was recording tunes, getting final wav files, then listening to them on my phone one at a time via the files app…or importing them into my Apple Music library which became a mess. This lets me create simple preview versions of my releases and listen wherever I want. Chefs kiss! One idea: I feel like the Projects tab should be on the far left and that should be where playlists live? I primarily listen to projects as playlists…
Developer Response
Thank you for your review and for the feedback! I also primarily listen to projects as playlists. I will rethink the Folders/ Playlists UI. Right now, the main page is the "Projects" menu, where All Files live, because that way people get to see what they have just imported - personally, that gives me assurance that the import was done successfully when I import from third parties like Whatsapp or the Photos app. At least that was the logic behind it. I'll try to make it more intuitive.

This is exactly what I wanted after putting music on the streams. I just wanted a place I could hear my tunes whenever I wanted in a playlist. But everyone and their dog hears stuff on the streams. I wanted my dog to get excited bc he only heard me. So a local suppository made sense. That’s what this app is.
Developer Response
Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm thrilled to hear the app is exactly what you were looking for! I noticed you gave it a 1-star rating despite the glowing review. If that was a mistake, would you mind updating the stars? It would help an independent developer like me a lot! Cheers and enjoy the music.
In Progress, Tha’ Bomb!!

The app had me at “No Subscriptions, No Fees, Pay Once, Local Audio, Yours Forever!” Then, I actually OPENED the app. Oh. My. Metronome! This app is simple, beautiful, and awesome! If this is just the first incarnation of the app, I can’t even imagine what it’ll look like/do a year from now! As a musician who is also into creating/keeping/experimenting with my own saved files, this app is a dream come true!! Purchase to support the Dev’s dreams as he works to support YOURS! This is the way the TRUE Indie Music scene was meant to be! Dreams…In Progress.
