  • Missing lots of functionality

    This app is great for very simple music playing but horrible for audio books. It can’t keep track of any order or history so audio books are horrible to use with it. It doesn’t have any quick jump forward or backward to find spots and it constantly logs you out and resets the track if you pause the audio for too long (couple of minutes). Has some improvement to make it a great app but like I said for a basic music player it’s ok.

  • Can’t sort the albums well

    Although that I had put songs in the same folder, they still can’t appear as one album. Another big issue is, some Chinese file names are not displayed correctly, and you can’t rename them in the app. Please add rename function.

    I tried to correct through album info, no use.
  • Buggy.... the airplay icon doesn’t work conisistenly

    Generally a decent app....
    N\however is a big buggy, as the airplay icon buttton can’t activated a lot of times.... (using iPad Pro 12.9” 2020)

    Can you please fix this

    Thank you
  • So much potential and i hope they realize it soon

    So i love this app. I love what it does. I hate that it’s so cluttered with unnecessary and inconsistent behaviors. ESPECIALLY on the carplay app.

    In carplay, i should be able to navigate easily to songs, albums, artists, playlists etc but i can’t do any of that.

    It’s extremely difficult to use in the car and dangerous as it encourages you to use it on your phone instead.

    The pins are where this app shines. However, it still needs basic functions. I would love to talk to the devs to give my opinions on what they should do to improve ds audio because it could be the reason people buy Synology’s Nas for their lossless and other such music collection to avoid streaming services

  • Please add offline download support for CarPlay!

    Please add offline download support for CarPlay!

    Also should tweak the user interface of the player, I find it not user friendly when I am used to playing an album but it just keeps adding the songs to the play list

    The volume button and the airplay button is too close together causing me to always tap on the airplay button by accident.

    The rewind and fast forward buttons looks like they are greyed out but actually function. Should change the colour of it

  • please add delete

    Thank you
  • Needs qol improvements

    It would be nice if you could change the default window the app boots into. Also, I'd like if there were the option to keep yourself logged in while the app isn't playing but is still open in the background. Other than those things, the app works quite well.
  • Works very well.

    I have a Synology NAS ds3018xs on which I installed Audio Station, a Synology product. I have 600 GB of music on it, all FLAC, ALAC, MP3s. I’ve used DS Audio for months to access the music and sometimes use DS File to maintain the library. DS Audio has worked without a hitch. Love it. I run it on my phone out and about and am able to stream CD quality lossless to a B1 Audioengine BT device which can pass lossless through its optical out to my Bifrost DAC at home. From the NAS I can also play directly out the USB 3.0 port on the back of the NAS directly to my Bifrost DAC. I also have roon, plex, Tidal, and others. DS Audio is straight forward and simple and my preferred way to play music. It took me a bit to learn the app and a bit to get the NAS up just the way I wanted it. I don’t have any faults to report. There is a good user community, accurate documentation, and years of usage if you get stuck.

  • could use improvements

    The app is great, but I am seeing some things that could use some improving or changes. Currently I do not see an option to create playlists. You should also be able to edit and add tracks to playlists. I also would like a way to scroll through my library by song rather than just artist/album.
  • This app barely counts as a music app

    Yes you can play signs from your synology NAS with this app but that’s all. If your looking for an app that adds a lot of nice features this isn’t it. I can’t do basic things other music apps can do. The number one thing I wanted from this app was siriKit, the ability to say “ hey Siri, play xyz” and this app doesn’t have support for that.
