Description

- Do you like music streaming services?
- Do you enjoy companies telling you what you should listen to each week?
- Did you stop buying music years ago?

If you answer with "yes" to any of these questions, Decoupled wasn't made for you. Sorry.

However, if you...

- Still buy and own records
- Have a developed taste and/or a vast music collection
- Listen to music in formats like FLAC, Opus, or Vorbis (Ogg)

then you should definitely give it a shot!

Some of its features:

- Playback of a wide range of formats: FLAC, Vorbis (Ogg), Opus, Apple Lossless, MP3, AAC, WAV.
- Gapless playback
- 10-band equalizer
- Music sync through USB, via iTunes File Sharing
- Music sync without iTunes via FTP, WebDAV, or a simple Web browser!
- Hardware codec utilization for longer battery life.

What’s New

Version 1.1.2

- Decoupled will now appear in the built-in Files app
- Fixed the broken Apple Lossless playback
- Treat albums with identical artist & title but different date as different albums
- Some other minor bugfixes...

Great but barebones

As someone who collects a lot of music, I wanted to find an app where I could bring my music with me everywhere. I came across several but many of them had a ton of frustrations such as not playing files correctly, intrusive ads, or frustrating file management. This app was one I came across and decided to give a try. So far, this is the best sounding music player I have tried, and plays all my files properly, however it is very barebones. Things such as playlists, shuffle and repeat do not exist. While I normally don’t utilize these features as I just listen to albums, they’re something that would be nice to have and I know it’ll be a dealbreaker for some. The one thing that annoys me though is the lack of a metadata editor. This is something that is very helpful and the lack of it is jarring and a little frustrating. This being said, this is still the best flac player on the app store and i can put up with the absence of those features as it is the best app to play flac files. If an update adds those features in, I’ll change my rating.

Great app, but there’s an issue

Let me start this off by saying this is hands down the best local file player I’ve used. I’ve gone through a lot of them trying to find something that would work right, and not only is Decoupled functional, but it works exactly how I need it to…

Except for one issue. When I have an album where the tracks have varying bitrates (I.e. Death Grips EP), the individual tracks are split up into separate albums by bitrate. Since they all have the same album metadata, they should all show up together on the same album. Instead, they are separated and out of order, making me unable to listen to the albums in full.

If the developer could fix this one issue where no matter the bitrate, all songs would be on the same, correct album, this app would be perfect!

Developer Response ,

Hm, audio bitrate/format doesn't factor into splitting the songs into separate albums, so there must be some difference between the offending files' metadata. Look for e.g. different or missing release date in some files vs others, etc.

Wonderful app for those wanting simplicity + super responsive developer

I am slowly transitioning away from streaming services and moving towards mostly purchasing CDs and digital music. I hated many of the extra features and recommendations that streaming services provide and wanted a minimalistic app so much that I was going to try to write my own—however, now I don’t need to because I found this app! The user interface is gorgeous and I like that it can play many types of files and that it is completely separate from Apple Music. When I initially started using it, I noticed that it would not play ALAC files, so I reached out to the developer who responded to me and fixed the bug within 2 hours!!! I definitely recommend this app to anyone who owns music and/or is feeling tired of streaming services and their “features”. Thank you Tamás for making this available for free!
