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

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

Highlights:
* Local favorites: Create a list of favorite artists, albums, songs, radio stations, etc.
* Shortcuts panel: Provides customizable quick actions, i.e., wake up the server, switch between servers, fade out the music, etc.
* [only up to iOS 17] Widget for quick control (from the lock screen, by force touch on the app icon, or from the notification center)
* Browse your music collection offline - it is cached entirely on your device! (important note: the music itself is not copied to the device and cannot be played on the device)
* Smart search: search artist, albums, and titles at the same time
* Fuzzy search: e.g., "Robby" will also find "Robbie"
* Context aware search results - for example, search for a title, and open the related artist and his albums
* Artist and album details - view the Kodi info, search the web, or browse Wikipedia, YouTube, or Amazon for infos about your favorite music
* Display the lyrics of the current song - even synchronized. Show lyrics of the CU LRC add-on, embedded lyrics, or search the web for lyrics

Further features:
* Different views of your music library: "Artists", "Albums", "Songs", "Compilations", "Folders", "Playlists", “Recent Music”
* Access to music add-ons – play radio, podcasts, etc.
* Resize the "Now Playing” panel by swiping up/down or pinching
* Adjustable cover size, up to full device width on iPhones
* Extensive sorting options
* Genre filter - works everywhere (even with last added/played tracks/albums)
* Match your iTunes playlists with your Kodi/XBMC music library to play them on Kodi/XBMC
* Sort, edit, and clear the play queue
* Play queue modes: Shuffle, Repeat single track, Repeat all, Party Mode
* Show codec, sample rate, and bitrate of currently playing track
* Party restrictions - only allow adding single tracks to the play queue
* Play from here - play the current track and all following tracks of its album/playlist
* Different queue options: Queue at the end or queue after the currently playing track
* See the remaining playing time and total number of tracks of the play queue
* Shows running library scans/cleanups
* Wake-on-LAN (WOL) the Kodi/XBMC server (manually or on startup)
* Server operations:  Shutdown, restart, suspend, hibernate, rescan music library, clean music library, quit Kodi application
* Switch the audio output device

Extensive Device Support:
* Optimized for iPhone 6/7/8, iPhone 6/7/8 plus, and iPhone X (including split screen mode in landscape view)
* Supports multitasking on iPad (slide over on iPad Air/Air 2, split view on iPad Air 2)
* Adapted for iPad Pro
* Well-suited for slower Kodi devices (like Raspberry PI) and large music collections, because the entire music collection is cached locally

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).

### 5/5 — Einfach super

*2023-01-29, version 4.8.0*

Ist schon seit Jahren bei mir im Einsatz und immer noch klasse.

### 5/5 — Great remote for Kodi

*2022-04-09, version 4.8.0*

I’ve been using this app to play my music collection via Kodi/Intel Nuc, connected to my AVR. The app works great on both iPhone and iPad. A few suggestions for future updates: there’s no stop button on the iPad app, only on iPhone. It would be good to be able to select how many albums I can see in recent music. It would also be good to be able to select the background colour, for example to change the standard yellow/brown into a more neutral grey/black/white. Very well done so far.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-10-08, version 4.8.0*

Still here using Kodi! Love this app as I can control my entire music collection from my phone without turning on the projector. Nothing in the cloud or any of that nonsense. 
A lot of thought out into this. Siri integration would be a nice upgrade for sure though.

### 5/5 — Oldie but Goldie

*2021-09-26, version 4.8.0*

Die Oberfläche wirkt mittlerweile etwas angestaubt, aber das tut der weiterhin exzellenten Funktionalität keinen Abbruch. 
Tut genau das, was man von einer Fernsteuerung für die Kodi Musiksammlung erwartet!

### 5/5 — Beste app für kodi

*2021-08-28, version 4.8.0*

Ganz einfach und schlicht, benutze diese app seit jahren für kodi auf meinem raspberry pi.
Als nicht freund von apps wie spotify, ist das die beste Alternative um auf meine fastplatte zuzugreifen ohne dass ich einen extra Bildschirm benötige

### 5/5 — Great app for Kodi music without the need for screen

*2021-04-04, version 4.7.1*

I was looking for something like this few years back without much success. I have good surround system with large speakers in my home theatre. Every time I wanted to play something from my music collection using this system I had to fire up projector in order to navigate Kodi. I tried many different remote apps for Kodi but non of them offered music navigation without looking at the screen. Why do I need big screen if I’m looking at phone screen when all I want is to play music only.

This app does just that. Great fast navigation using Kodi database. Browsing by folders or artist with lyrics on the phone screen. No need to turn TV or projector on. Full featured Pro version is not that expensive. Great job.

### 5/5 — Perfekt für Musik Liebhaber

*2020-10-08, version 4.7.1*

Diese App hat genau die Features die man für‘s Musik hören braucht plus einen super super Support bei Problemen! Vielen Dank, Markus!

### 5/5 — I wish I knew about this app sooner

*2020-09-07, version 4.7.1*

Totally improved my listening experience. 

I just happened to bump into the pro version after using the free version for years.

### 5/5 — Tolle Music App

*2020-07-23, version 4.7.1*

Die App ist wirklich der Hammer und soweit ich sehe, einmalig auf dem Markt.

Für Musikfreunde eine echte Bereicherung.

Absolut durchdacht mit sauberer Benutzerführung. So müssen Apps sein.

Läuft absolut stabil.

Mir persönlich fehlt noch eine Timerfunktion zum Shutdown des Rechners - der Entwickler wurde gerade angeschrieben :)

Das wäre das i-Tüpfelchen der sonst so genialen App.

Bin gespannt....

Die Pro Version ist absolut ihr Geld wert.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

*2019-05-20, version 4.6.0*

I’ve been using this Music Remote for Kodi for quite a while and absolutely love it. Every time I have a music listening session I use it to create play lists ‘on the fly’ (in real time).

Being able to search and find great songs and albums while listening to music (without interrupting the current song or music video) is very nice.

I can’t believe how easy this is to use app and how much it’s changed the way I listen to my great collection of albums and music videos (mostly concerts in HD video and 5.1 surround).

Thank you!
