NAS Melody

Enjoy your Synology NAS collection every day. NAS Melody is a personal iPhone player. Connect Audio Station to explore your albums, artists, playlists and folders. You supply and choose the music. YOUR LIBRARY Start with playlists or recent albums. Browse songs, albums, artists, genres or folders without reorganizing your library. Search results separate songs, albums and artists, so you can move from a track to its album or artist. Searches cover your NAS library, not a streaming service's catalog. PLAYLISTS AND THE PLAY QUEUE Create playlists and add songs for commuting, reading or relaxing. Open the current queue to see what comes next and change the order. Playlists organize lasting collections; the queue arranges this listening session. Play albums or selected tracks. View the song, artist, cover and progress; the mini player stays visible as you browse. MUSIC THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY Keep listening in the background while using other apps, with system controls to pause or change tracks. Basic playback, system controls and existing lyrics do not require Pro. View lyrics already in your library, with synchronized display when usable timing data is present. Expand lyrics to follow along; availability and timing depend on their data. PRO: DOWNLOAD TO YOUR PHONE Download before leaving and play saved files from your local collection without NAS access. Check tasks and status in download management. Offline playback avoids fetching each song again. Downloads and playback cache are separate: downloads keep songs for offline listening; cache supports everyday streaming. Clearing cache does not delete downloaded songs. Downloads and their management require Pro and the appropriate NAS account permissions. PRO: LYRICS, SONG DETAILS AND COVERS Fetch lyrics automatically, or search, preview and select them manually. Check versions for live recordings or identical titles. Results and synchronization depend on the song and external service. Show lyrics in supported system playback interfaces on the Lock Screen, or keep them inside the app. Existing lyrics are a basic feature; automatic fetching, manual search and Lock Screen lyrics require Pro. Edit song details and search for replacement covers for supported NAS songs, within your account permissions. Details, covers and lyrics are handled separately, so you can change only what needs attention. PRO: PLAYBACK TO SUIT YOU Set a sleep timer, adjust playback speed and choose original, HQ or standard streaming quality. Results depend on the source file, NAS processing, network and audio output device. Outside Wi-Fi, enable transcoding with a 192 or 320 kbps limit; on Wi-Fi, your chosen quality applies. Transcoding requires server support and depends on the NAS, Audio Station and file. Original quality cannot turn a lossy file into a lossless recording. PRO: KEEP LISTENING WITH CARPLAY Browse, choose music and control playback in a compatible CarPlay vehicle or receiver. CarPlay requires Pro. Online listening still needs access to your NAS; prepare downloaded songs for offline use. CACHE, APPEARANCE AND LANGUAGE Disable song cache or limit it to 1, 2, 5 or 10 GB. Check usage and clear image cache, song cache or both. Cache for a playing track is cleared after playback; downloads remain intact. Choose system, light or dark appearance. Follow the system language or select Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese or Russian in the app. Song titles, artists and albums retain their original content. BEFORE CONNECTING You need an accessible Synology NAS, installed and configured Audio Station, and an account with music access. Connect by server address or QuickConnect; ensure your NAS is reachable when away. First check that your music appears in Audio Station, then sign in. The app provides no music download site, streaming catalog or music content subscription. Use music you have permission to access and play.
