Ratings and Reviews
The Best, but one thing…
This is, by far, the best app I’ve used for cataloging my collection. It’s versatile, reliable, and has all the features that I need.
I have one suggestion: the ability to sort artist either by last name or by full name. Right now it’s just one globally for the app. So for example, if I have the app set globally to sort last name, first name, then Academy Of St. Martin In The Fields shows up as Fields, Academy of Saint Martin’s in the. Philharmonic orchestra shows up as Orchestra, Philharmonic. If I flip it the other way to full name globally, then Academy Of St. Martin In The Fields is fine, but then Pat Metheny is Pat Metheny and not Metheny, Pat. So being able to set this on an artist by artist basis would be great.

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that custom author naming is fully supported. You should therefore keep the "Sort Author" setting with "Last, First". Next, select My Books > Author > Edit (at the top right corner), select the desired author (e.g. Orchestra, Philharmonic) and rename it as desired (e.g. Philharmonic Orchestra).
Great app, lacking in display options, themes, but data rich
There are prettier apps out there which display your album/cd art to better advantage. This app lacks the beauty and display capabilities of some of those apps. Where it really shines is the level of data that is tracked and the ability to display it by numerous attributes like composer, orchestra, artist, conductor.
If this app added some of the more elegant display settings and themes like CLZ music for instance, it would be the hands down winner. I love CLZ for is beautiful graphical display and themes but as far as tracking data elements, sorting, filtering, it can’t compare with Music Buddy and it costs 3x more. It doesn’t let you add your own categories. CLZ doesn’t even track composer or orchestra, instead focusing on artist only which is less helpful. I cannot for instance see at a glance which cds I have that are composed by Haydn or Mozart. In CLZ I would have to enter composer for each cd manually. In music buddy the cover art is really small, so an option to display it larger or a different theme without media art blended in would be nice. I don’t need to see a cd on each one, since I only have cds. The look is a bit dated.
I like the ability to store notes as well for each album/cd.
This is nifty but…
UPDATED: I’m glad you can ignore articles by switching to “ignore articles” in settings.
I have inherited a ton of vinyl, lots of it old and obscure. I wanted a way to catalog my vinyl so I would know exactly what I have, regardless if I’ll ever listen to that. I’m neurotic that way. I *might* someday be curious to know if I own it. Also helpful when I go record shopping to see what I have. I’ve been using the app for awhile now. I appreciate the large database and ease of finding obscure albums. However, there are a few things that I dislike about it. The catalog entries aren’t universally-thorough. I’m assuming they’re user-submitted. Lots of information missing about genres and individual artists in compilations. It’s not perfect, but it’s nice to know what I have.

Thank you for your feedback! Please note that you can sort by title while ignoring articles (such as “A”, “An”, and “The”) by going to Settings > General > Sort Title, and switching 'Ignore Prefixes’ on.
