## What is Music Library Tracker?

Music Library Tracker keeps an eye on your music library and automatically monitors additions, deletions, and any changes to your songs as well as upgrades to Spatial Audio. With streaming becoming more popular, it is very easy for song metadata to change or for songs to disappear as licensing deals expire; with Music Library Tracker you will always know when something in your library changes.

Features
- Automatic monitoring of the media library on your iPhone or iPad (including iCloud Music Library if enabled on your device). Music Tracker checks the title, artist, album, album artist, genre, year of release, disc number, track number, rating, and Spatial Audio status.
- See which of your tracks have been upgraded to Spatial Audio and have them placed into an automatic playlist within Apple Music. You can also opt-in to receive notifications when tracks are upgraded.
- View an overview of changes to your library with filters to personalise the display to your requirements
- Drill down into the detail of individual tracks to see exactly which metadata changed and when along with dates for when tracks were added or deleted from your library
- A daily notification giving you a summary of changes in the previous day (this can be customised to just tell you about added, changed, or deleted tracks)
- Automation via x-callback-url allowing you to see changes to your library in the Shortcuts app or with Siri
- Full support for split screen views on iPad along with trackpad and keyboard integration
- Dark mode

Music Library Tracker contains no in-app purchases and does not require an internet connection; I believe in your privacy so none of your media library data ever leaves your device and I do not collect usage data or perform any data analytics. Spatial Audio matching is "opt-in" as it requires the app to send your music identifiers to my server; no personally identifiable information is ever sent and the data is kept only for as long as it takes to serve the request (typically less than a couple of seconds). You can read more about this in my privacy policy at https://dodoapps.io/music-tracker/privacy/

If you have any issues at all, please email support@dodoapps.io and I'll help you.

### 1/5 — It’s ok, but not supported anymore

*2026-05-05, version 2.1.1*

The app serves its purpose, but it seems to be abandoned. I switched to HelloAtmos website.

### 1/5 — Only indexes favorites

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.1*

Will not recognize my library

### 1/5 — Didn’t find any Spatial Audio songs out of 4,222

*2026-02-26, version 2.1.1*

Not sure why, but the app finds zero Spatial Audio songs out of 4,222

### 1/5 — Erratic since iOS & iPadOS 26.x

*2026-01-28, version 2.1.1*

My library has 17551 tracks in iTunes and on iPad and iPhone and I have checked every single one. Music Tracker only finds 17550 and recently keeps reporting tracks deleted and added at the same time when they have not been - seems to be unreliable under iOS and iPadOS 26.2.1 (all 26.x versions).

### 4/5 — App does in 3 seconds what Apple hasn’t done in 3 years

*2025-12-17, version 2.1.1*

I’ve been spinning my wheels trying to figure out which songs in my main playlist (around 290 songs) are in Dolby Atmos.  Apple’s solution.  Open each one and look for an icon that may or may not be there.  This guy…give you a list of Atmos songs!  I would like to see the ability to add these songs to a specific playlist.  That would be 5 out of 5 for me.  I need this because I use my playlists on my other devices (Apple TV, SmartTVs, my Car, etc).  If you don’t care about that and just want to play the songs directly, you can just click it and it will play on your phone.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated!

*2025-09-20, version 2.1.1*

Needs work. Good idea though. Needs to put an up to date album library that automatically keeps all of our songs current.

### 4/5 — Please bring back Apple Watch app!

*2025-06-22*

Such a perfect app but would love a dark mode version of the app icon please

### 3/5 — Good

*2025-03-27, version 2.1.1*

This is a good app and better than anything Apple Music has to be able to sort your music by Spatial Audio. But I wish Apple would allow you to search and sort Apple Music by Spatial Audio and Hi Res Audio. All I want is to be able to see all the albums available on Apple Music that are in Dolby Atmos and/or Hi Res lossless audio , it's 2025 and we still can't do it.

### 5/5 — Fills an Apple gap

*2025-02-03, version 2.1.1*

This app shows you which songs in your library support Dolby Atmos and even creates a playlist of all supported songs. Something Apple should do…

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-26, version 2.1.1*

This does what iOS Shortcuts won’t, which is replace non-spatial tracks with their spatial and hi-res equivalent. Saves a considerable amount of time!
