Really impressed
The interface works in a slightly different way to how I expected, but stick with it. It really does everything you need for Nas / local music.
The Best
Possibly the best FLAC streaming app I have ever encountered. 5 Stars.
The one you need
Just simply works great at home. No fuss. This is how you design a good app. Ideas: Option to “add and shuffle to play queue” artist or album would be nice. A watch app for offline runs would also be swell!
Can stream my pc music easily
Really good for my use case, pretty albums too
Update lock screen pauses playback on iPad

The best - hands down!
I got tired of trying to get Apple’s Music app to play music (ALAC) stored on my NAS. The Mac was fine, but getting it to stream from my iPhone was flaky at best. Having looked at several apps that could handle streaming from a NAS, I chanced upon MusicStreamer and haven’t looked back. It has a well-thought out interface, is feature rich but this doesn’t get in the way of using the app. A huge plus is being able to point the app to my local NAS, iCloud storage, downloaded storage or from a USB. My music library, now FLAC, works well, as do the meta tags and album covers. MusicStreamer is a great solution to a long running problem of how to stream my music library at home or on the move.

Can’t EQ with gapless playback
I see that other players are able to EQ and maintain gapless playback. Any plans to address that in this player? It’s a real bummer for albums that aren’t meant to have silent gaps between tracks.
Airplay has stoped working
After iOS update the AirPlay functionality has stopped working
Awesome
My favourite app by far! A few glitches in the latest version related to editing the playlist which I expect will be fixed in the next revision.
Crashes
Everytime I choose to play all albums now it crashes. That’s all I paid the app for. And it doesn’t do it Free one doesn’t crash
Stuck on Apple Car play
Very good apps but after latest update get stuck on Apple car play. Please fix.
Perfect for My Use
I have a NAS that holds my extensive music library across multiple genres, decades, and artists. MusicStreamer connects seamlessly to my NAS and stays connected. I can connect to my Yamaha amp, my Sonos speakers, even my TV. I can play across those devices all together or one at a time. I get no drops, no static, no issues in playback. I play an album start to finish or I can create playlists of my favorites tunes. I can shuffle or repeat play. All my cover art is shown as stored. Oh, did I mention support? They have amazing support and respect my specific needs. Absolutely love this app for in home streaming from my NAS. Totally recommend it!

Spot on!
When they say "Rediscover your music!" they are not wrong! Fantastic app! Keep up the excellent work! Software *can* be well done.
Je revois mon avis en bien, mais !
8 mois plus tard, rien n'a évolué... 🤬
Édit 2025-07 : pourquoi, l’iPad connecté en partage de connexion sur l’iPhone, clé USB contenant la musique connectée sur l’iPad, impossible de lire la musique. Déconnecté de l’iPhone, musique lisible…
Édit 2025-03 : Après avoir abandonné cette application pendant des années, j’ai pris plusieurs jours pour la (re) découvrir, et je reviens sur mon avis précédent. Les défauts que j’avais notés ne sont plus présents, je peux lire les musiques depuis mon NAS sans aucun problème.
L’application est stable, plus de « freeze » ou de plantage. Tout fonctionne bien avec Siri.
Je pense maintenant acheter la version Mac.
Serait-il possible de synchroniser les Playlists automatiquement ? Plutôt que de devoir le faire manuellement pour chaque Playlist à chaque fois qu’on la modifie.
Pouvoir mettre un « Like » sur un morceau pour le retrouver dans une playlist « Like » serait bien aussi.

Response from developer
Thank you for your update! I have made a note in our system about play lists. If you have any questions then please email support@stratospherix.com and we will be pleased to help.
Provides great functionality with great support
TL/DR: I want to be able to play my music I’ve ripped to my NAS when I’m away from home. This provides that functionality. Not perfect (yet) but really good, with great support.
I’d tried various other apps but they were unable to scan more than ~5 albums before giving up and even then scanning was very slow (solution: scan library on desktop then transfer to device 😬). I have a few hundred albums.
I bought MediaStreamer, configured it to read my library and started a scan (entire library 5-10 mins?).
The albums were shown in a different order from my Sonos environment (the less said about Sonos the better!) which threw me initially, so I contacted support and after a couple of exchanges, I had an explanation and a solution. Currently the app doesn’t use (any?) embedded metadata in the files for the sorting/naming but the developers are working on that. TBH, this isn’t a problem for me now I know how it works - a few legacy inconsistencies in my library, mainly around my classical music albums.
My environment is a little different to a lot of users I think - I use Tailscale rather than Synology quickconnect for remote access - but that’s manageable.
This app provides me with access to my music remotely, it’s very usable and I’m confident it’ll continue to improve. Give it a go.
Update: new version of the app now does use file metadata so now my albums are in the order I was expecting. Really pleased, upgraded rating (4->5).

Not using tags correctly
Why wouldn’t you not take the album name from the file tag!? To go even further, the first folder under the artist folder is usually the album name, which you ignore and instead take the subfolder as the album name. So most of my albums show up in the app with the name “Disc 01”. Just dumb coding. Use the tags for their purpose.

Best Player for large music library
So glad to find this app! After getting rid of Sonos speakers that didn’t support Airplay, switching to Apple speakers then being upset at passing Apple’s track limit in my library I had no way to play it from my NAS. While looking into purchasing an expensive device to interface with my library I came upon this. Does exactly what I want, sure not all album covers show but at last I can listen to music I own that isn’t on Apple Music! And no track limit so I can buy and add more!

Richtig schnell!
Ein bisschen stört, dass die Benutzeroberfläche nur auf Englisch ist, aber die App funktioniert hervorragend! Ich nutze sie für meine Musikbibliothek, die auf dem NAS liegt.
Sensationell!
Ich nehme mir wirklich selten bis nie die Zeit, um Apps zu bewerten. Aber hier muss das wirklich sein. Diese App ist der Wahnsinn! Ich war auf der Suche nach einer schlanken und performanten App, mit der ich endlich meine über 140 GB Musik Mediathek auf meinem iCloud Drive streamen kann.
Diese App macht exakt genau das. Und das auf super beeindruckende Art und Weise: das Einlesen der Mediathek ging absolut problemlos, die App ist bis heute stets stabil und zuverlässig, kann direkt alles spielen, man kann ruckelfrei durch die gesamte 140 GB Mediathek inkl. Albumcover etc scrollen. Dazu allerhand tolle Zusatzfunktionen wie EQ,Playlistbearbeitung, Suchfunktion, Design-Anpassungen.
Und dann noch der Knaller: der Entwickler möchte für diese wirklich sensationelle App nur einmalig 9,90€. Kein Abo, nix monatlich, kein Abzockmodell. Ich bin Mega begeistert. Danke danke danke!!!

Fantastic App
No other app comes close for streaming from my music library which is stored on a WD Mycloud device.
Freedom
People looking for the old Winamp, unplugged experience. Get an iPhone case that allows a microSD insert … find your old MPs … and you save $10 a month on Spotify
