Previous Versions Were Better
The app was great until about the last couple of years, I wish it could go back to the 2023-24 which was version was perfect for my needs as a music listener.
Recent versions have lost some of the previous sorting features and customization while simultaneously mimicking many unfavourable design choices from Apple Music which was the whole point of getting this app as an alternative.
I’ve read some feedback from the developer something along the lines that the goal of the app was to “keep pace with Apple Music while giving an offline option” but in my opinion having the focus being on a classic looking music player is more what attracted us to the app. It doesn’t matter if it looks matter if it looks more square/rectangular or “outdated” that’s was always the appeal!
The Liquid Glass and rounded edges on everything is especially disappointing. At best it would be good to give some optionally to turn on or off these features.
CS was my favourite music player app for many years and I wish it would go back to that winning formula of a classic music player instead of uncritically emulating everything (whether it is good or not) coming from Apple Music.

Needs CarPlay
Great app if you like star ratings. CarPlay would be a huge addition. Perfect other than that

easily the best
Still the best!
I genuinely appreciate the slow, steady pace of this app. Updates don’t come every other day like so many vibed-out apps these days, and that feels intentional, in a good way. The developer takes their time, the app stays stable, and it just does a darned good job at the one thing I want it to do: play my music.
No constant churn, no needless reinvention, just a solid music player that works. I’ll take thoughtful, deliberate development over an endless stream of updates any day.
Keep it up!

Excellent but …
… Please bring the album back to the main display. There’s plenty of room for it!
