This app is very good at scanning your music library and displaying it well. It does this properly by scanning folders and files quickly, and then searching for the tags/artwork in the background so the app does not stall like others do. All this data is then cached locally, so that opening shows your library instantly. Showing the album/track data as an inline concertina view really makes it like flicking through a real album collection. Search works. After correcting metadata in a metadata app then it is super easy to rescan just a single Album. Album artwork can be pasted in place easily too. There are some quirks. Since it was originally an iPad app, key shortcuts are strange, like Cmd-A when in the search box should select all the text to type over, but instead brings up the Artwork view. Also, Expected Mac features like dragging out an album to finder to copy the files, or to another player such as a network based one does not work. It can crash on a rescan when folders are removed from underneath it, but recovers well on a restart. Overall it’s a very good app that makes choosing what music to listen to easy. It would get 5 stars if it could either play out to UPnP/DNLA devices (As most of my devices are old and don’t support AirPlay). It can export playlists and I could probably get them to work with another play the will play to my old network speakers.

Music Streamer for Mac

Great release! Have been using the Music Streamer app on iPad and iPhone for a few years now and love it. With hundreds of albums and thousands of tracks organised on a NAS drive it makes things really easy to catalogue, find and play anything I feel like. Was very excited to see the new release of a Mac version so bought it straight away, and not disappointed. Importing playlists from Music/iTunes is a breeze, and the resizable album panel is really smooth and fast. And this is only version 1 - what's next :-)

Desktop version needs work!

At pressent it's essentially a desktop port of a mobile app. Main issues so far, (Version 1.0): 1. You have to enable sharing permissions for a connected external drive - otherwise it will only allow you to link to music stored over a network or to local files specifically in an iTunes or Music folder in your system storage.2. Track titles are uncomfortably small, even with 'bigger text' turned on. 3. Default artwork size is also very small and rescalling appears only possible via pinch-to-zoom - bad if you don't use a trackpad.4. No option to remember playback possition in a track - bad for audiobooks.5. No option to show album/artist name under the tiled artwork thumbnails.6. Doesn't seem to like embedded artwork saved as .png's.This is only version 1 however, hopefully the dev's will sort these issues out. Otherwise it's quite an attractive little music player, useful as an alternative to Apple Music if you have separate audio libraries.

Thanks for this feedback which is great. The update coming our soon has a zoom control for those without a trackpad and we have more improvements in the works!

* Deriving Album names from tag data is now optional. * Improved tag data extraction from OGG files. * Fixed importing playlists containing filenames with special characters. * Added About menu to display the app's version. If you like MusicStreamer on Mac, MusicStreamer for iOS is available separately on the App Store. Rest assured, we never gather any of your data. Thanks for using MusicStreamer. We would love to hear your feedback at support@stratospherix.com and this will drive new features in future updates.
