Ratings and Reviews
Well rounded music player.
I've always loved foobar2000 on desktop, and this mobile port lives up to its counterpart pretty well. The interface is simple and responsive, if a bit ugly, and it plays all my music in all the formats they're in. It even supports some video game chiptune formats like .vgm and .spc!
The biggest problem I have with this app is its playlist management. You can't multi-select songs to add to a playlist; you have to tap and hold on each track to add them one by one, which is a tedious process that takes an unnecessarily long time. I feel like a music player app in this day and age should be better than that. The album view also has this odd quirk where parts that were composed by different artists show up as separate albums, which can be a bit inconvenient.
Solid app overall, great for listening to saved music. Would recommend!
Better than Plexamp
I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time. I remember trying this in the past and for whatever reason I could never get the ftp Clint to work with this app resulting in me using Plexamp to sync music from pc to phone. I never liked the interface of downloaded music in Plexamp which had me try various other apps. Landed back on this and finally, the ftp client works no issue with this apps server. Was able to copy over 100Gigs worth of music to my phone in 30 min! Love the album interface and the artist/ album library, putting the artwork front and center just like foobar desktop and even musicbee. The only thing I would like to see and this would be a game changer, in the album section instead of sorting them alphabetically, please give us the option to sort Artist first, then album. Other then that this app is really good for entire music library on mobile devices.
Straightforward No Nonsense Music App
I downloaded this app several years ago, and never really used it to be honest, as it seemed redundant to the Apple Music app and I never really had any issues with it.
Fast forward and my living situation has temporarily changed. I would like to listen to my large music library while at home on my iPhone (organized over the course of MANY years through the desktop version of Foobar2000). However I only have a 32GB iPhone, limiting the quantity of songs I can sync at one time.
So I remember that I had toyed around with using the UPnP media server and renderer component on the desktop years ago but never ended up using them. I then turn both components on and find that the Foobar app is able to immediately access the media server and flawlessly playback (and download) my media library via WiFi. No issues or hiccups, just no nonsense playback of my media library from my phone.
I know there are several freemium media player apps out there that support network media libraries, but Foobar is free, works excellently especially for those with a very large library of media in assorted formats. That and it displays embedded album art without issue! There isn’t any Chromecast or video playback support that I’m aware of (like you can setup on the big boy desktop version), but that isn’t a big issue. Though component support would be awesome.
