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.

Version 5.16.4

Important Note:
1. Updated to be compatible with Advanced Media Extensions 3.0.
2. Support for AAC encoded audio is widespread across end devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, and the majority of other media playback devices. The need for AAC transcoding to achieve better compatibility has significantly diminished and will be removed starting with DSM 7.1.1. Starting from DSM 7.1.1, AAC decoding is performed by the end device.
- Streaming AAC encoded files over AirPlay is no longer supported.
- Playback of AAC files via Chromecast is no longer supported.
- Playback of M4A (recordings made on iPhones) is no longer supported.
- Removed options for transcoding AAC files.

Fixed Issues:

3. Minor bug fixes.

Features That Would Be Nice To Have

Quick thanks for fixing the accent names issue.

Would be nice to have a “By Year” under “Categories”. Would also be nice to see the DS AUDIO app available on AppleTV - DS PHOTO, DS VIDEO are already available on tvOS.

Barely Functional.

1. The scan/fast forward to skip through a track doesn’t work. It advances you to the next or some following track. If I want to get to a particular segment of a song I cannot. Maddening. 2. Rudimentary EQ would be welcome. 3. When I add a track from my DS I get the whole album. 4. Search?

I like that it nicely scans and has my whole library at my fingers as I have 7-8 thousand CDs stored.
