Description

**You must own a Synology NAS to run this app, and be running the Audio Station 6.5.0 package to get the complete set of features**

DS audio allows you to stream music stored on your DiskStation with an iPhone/iPad wherever an Internet connection is available. Better yet, with the offline mode you can listen to songs stored in the device’s local memory for when no network connection is available. You can browse music by albums, artists, folders or genres, create your own playlists or share them with your friends, and even rate your music! And if you have dedicated stereo speakers at home, DS audio can also become a remote control to stream music to them.

Potential > This Version

Synology, you are a big company. Please pay some enthusiastic programmers for half a year and this app can EOL in peace!

For Example, A Feature I am missing is a "All Songs" list, and the navigation feels more complex than it should. And: the genre section really is not great, I for one listen to a lot of drum and bass and the genre is not even shown. I don't need to see the genres where I don't have a single song. Please please please :)) this is needed because I feel like every user will find this confusing

Great App with some potential

I love it and use it all the time in my network. It’s just so convenient and works with all my UPnP players. I tried so many platforms but found no other that let me keep using it, except DS Audio.
But one thing drives me crazy. There is no search function. I just can’t search for a song, an album, an artist or a radio station. That’s so annoying and frustrating. Please bring this function into the app for my iPhone.
And also show the file type and quality.
Aah ya, and let me use the app and play the downloaded songs on the go without an error because of not being able to logging into my network and the NAS.
