This is the app for those who manage and play their music collection via the Kodi/XBMC media center. Unlike other remote control apps that cover the entire functionality of the media center, this app is solely focused on handling your music collection, specifically:

* Currently playing screen: Shows current track with cover and the current playlist
* Start, pause, seek and skip tracks quickly
* Control the volume
* Music library with artist - album - title hierarchy, quickly folded/unfolded in a nice accordion animation.
* Handle user-defined playlists, including quick access to the most valuable feature - shuffling through the playlist.
* The iPad app shows all information altogether in a clean user interface. No tedious navigating through menus.

The app requires a Kodi/XBMC installation connected to the wireless network. Its IP-address can be set manually, or zero-conf can be used to automatically find Kodi/XBMC in the network. Officially supported are XBMC 12 and 13 (Frodo and Gotham) and Kodi 14-19 (Helix, Isengard, Jarvis, Krypton, Leia, and Matrix).

---------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for using the app - we hope it makes your Kodi/XBMC music listening experience really enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-12-24, version 4.2.0*

Must have

### 2/5 — Missing one vital feature

*2017-04-01, version 4.2.0*

Lovely front end interface, as per others on the forums we were expected it to stream audio from kodi to iPad but it doesn't.

I paid for the full version as well so very disappointed.

If this had this feature it would be the ultimate music app out there, beating iTunes or anything out there.

### 4/5 — Le seul à tourner sur iOS 7

*2017-03-04, version 4.2.0*

Un bon moyen de contourner la sodomie d'Apple et ses limitations... Il manque le classement par albums ?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-02-23, version 4.2.0*

Perfect.. just what was looking for.. I will be upgrading to the pro soon.

### 4/5 — Stable remote for Kodi on pi B+

*2017-01-29, version 4.2.0*

Keeps connection really well. Shows all music and allows cueing of tracks. It is great. Not sure how to use playlist bit - maybe have to pay for that.

### 4/5 — Bien mais il manque les genres

*2016-11-20, version 4.2.0*

Il manque la recherche de musique par genre

### 5/5 — Active Developer

*2016-04-10, version 4.2.0*

This is the best music remote for KODI and it is worth every penny.
Why is it the best? Because the German developer is very active and friendly.

It has some of the best functions that you can imagine:
one outstanding and unique example:

If you have your music in KODI and the same music on your iPhone/iPad in the iOS Music App then you can use your normal iTunes Playlists from the phone and play that music over KODI even in HiRes - if you have re-encoded music on the phone. Because it uses the song-version in KODI - and you can place an uncompressed version of the File in Kodi / on your NAS.

A dark design and bigger control buttons would be nice… But Markus is at it already!

### 5/5 — best kodi remote for music!

*2016-04-03, version 4.2.0*

App works great with Kodi! Using it for quite a time now and completely satisfied.

### 5/5 — Excellent remote

*2016-03-26, version 4.2.0*

Works brilliantly and intuitively, one of the few apps I've tried and wanted to buy the full version. Free version is perfectly functional, give it a try. Running Kodi 14.2 on chromebox.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Music Remote!

*2015-06-30, version 4.0*

I have been using Marcus's XBMC/Kodi remote for a while now. It transforms Kodi into a superb music player. I use Kodi on a dedicated pic connected to my hifi for playback of HD and Flac music. With this app you have a phenomenal music solution.  

Marcus as a developer is tops too. There were several features and UI enhancements I wanted. Sure enough in version 4 all has been added. 

I don't often write reviews but this app plus Marcus's ongoing support is a must have if you want to use Kodi as a dedicated music client. 

I love it!
