## What is SongCapsule?

SongCapsule is an app to rediscover your music library and works like your personal DJ. It’s available on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro with a single purchase.

Using SongCapsule is super easy: all you need to do is connect the app to your music library — it supports Apple Music, iTunes Match, or local synced songs in your device. SongCapsule will locally scan your songs and automatically create mixes and playlists for you based on your favorite artists, genres, and even decades.

With Magic DJ, you can create mixes of artists and genres with different algorithms, like playing more of your top songs or rediscovering hidden gems in your music library. It’s like a shuffle mode — but more intelligent and tailored just for you.

SongCapsule will learn and send a #tbt notification every week to remember you of songs you once loved, but haven’t played for a while. There’s also a special playlist and widget with your forgotten songs.

### 5/5 — i love it

*2025-11-06, version 1.9.1*

it creates nice playlists from songs i didn’t even remember that i love hahah. it’s very fluid too

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-09-20, version 1.9.1*

I really wanted this app to work. I could use it once but it never reloaded

### 4/5 — Need improvement but solid start

*2025-08-14, version 1.9*

Big potential. Need to play outside of library to discover things. Crash a lot.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Really Work

*2025-08-01, version 1.9*

It works the very first time but then always crashes or continuously sits spinning. I have a decent-sized music library, so it clearly wasn’t tested with a large library. Seems like a toy, and certainly isn’t a serious app.

### 5/5 — Best for auto generated playlists.

*2025-05-25*

Been looking for something like this for a long time now it’s on my home screen and I don’t think it’ll ever leave.

### 4/5 — Could be so much more…

*2025-03-16*

Have been searching for a replacement for the original Groove music app. (Bought and destroyed by Microsoft). This app comes close, but could be so much more. Groove mined metadata from last FM to tie songs together. This allowed for very specific playlists. Things like British New Wave. They also would create triple play playlists. Playing three songs by each artist within a specific genre. Hoping the developer can keep pushing the envelope and create the ultimate play list tool.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Really Work

*2025-03-06, version 1.8.4*

It works the very first time but then always crashes or continuously sits spinning. I have a decent-sized music library, so it clearly wasn’t tested with a large library. Seems like a toy, and certainly isn’t a serious app.

### 4/5 — Great music collection alternative

*2025-01-24*

Great app for randomly choosing music. Would have given 5 stars if it didn’t take so long to open.

### 4/5 — Great idea but doesn’t function properly

*2025-01-19*

Bought this because my playlists on Apple Music have become extensive after years of listening to music, I have around 5 or 6 days worth spread between two or three playlists on there, however when I load into the app and it says it’s accessing my music library and finishes, it only manages to bring around 750 songs over from the probably over 2000 that’s I have, if that gets fixed this would be perfect

### 2/5 — Bonne idée mais …

*2024-12-14*

… joue toujours les mêmes morceaux, plusieurs fois dans les playlists
