Choose from multiple possible sort fields to sort your selection by album, artist, year and various combinations.

The SlimLibrary plugin allows you even greater control of your selection by combining multiple artists, composers, genres or years, in a single selection and letting you select an ascending or descending sort order.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time

*2024-02-11, version 2.0.1*

Help page within app is blank.  Contact us page within app is blank.   Select a song, hit play and no sound comes out, time slider does not advance.   This app is broken, and trouble shooting is not my job when I paid for the app.

### 1/5 — Does not work and lost refund

*2020-08-25, version 2.0.1*

This app does not connect to players. Tried to help developer fix it but in the process lost my right to refund. Developer asks user to help him fix his app!!!!
A bad experience. Do not buy this app.

### 4/5 — Great remote control, but

*2019-08-27, version 1.4.3*

First, I want to THANK the developers for creating this app.  I am heavily invested in squeezeboxes and love having my collection, pandora, and tune-in at my fingertips in every room, plus the ability to synchronize devices for multi-room playback.  In my opinion, there has never been a better bed-side clock radio made, and I was really looking for a replacement app to remote-control my devices, even though I can access the server web page via Safari, since that is not ideal on a touch screen.  I hope one day Logitech figures out what a gem it had and brings it back.  If not, Yamaha has great multi-room speakers that I have my eye on.

This app has great capacity to browse my collection and create and edit playlists, which is awesome.  You lose a star, though, for not allowing me to navigate my collection according to how it is organized on disk by file hierarchy.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2017-12-03, version 1.4.1*

Doesnt work for me - cant get it to access any info at all on my system. Player list, library etc all blank.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-03-09, version 1.3.3*

I've been looking for an app to play my Logitech Media Server library on my Apple TV. This is the first one I came across not made by Logitech. So far I am very impressed and it does what I want. One suggestion could be to add a screensaver or visual feature when the music is playing.
