What's New in SongOwl Music Player

1.1.3

June 16, 2020

A long overdue update including a couple little tweaks: • The "Year" sort option has been replaced with a smarter "Release Date" option. This will take full release dates into account (when available), and default to "year" when release dates aren't tagged. • Some miscellaneous bug fixes, including one that apparently allowed the odd podcast to sneak in. • I'm aware of the issues some users have reported regarding unusual behavior with the "repeat" playback setting. I believe the root of this issue is small changes to the functionality at the iOS level itself. I'm collecting info to determine what might have changed and how to address it. If you notice a repeatable pattern, please let me know!

amazing app 5/5

did exactly what i needed it to do. i was recently listening to my chill mix provided by apple music, and i didn't realize that the “Love” feature doesn’t actually add the songs to a smart playlist unless that song is already in your library. my chill mix updated soon after, and i thought i lost the songs forever… this app showed me every song and i e be more pleased! amazing work!

nearly there

as a longtime Cs/Cesium user, i pulled the trigger on SongOwl without hesitation. and i LIKE it! still no chance for viewing or changing the queue, but that’s on Apple and their ridiculous rules.

this is a simple, intuitive app and i feel like it’s a good path forward. that said, there are a couple features i might like to see. it would be nice if, in addition to the long press, one could get info on a track with a right swipe to expose the i button. it would also be nice if there was a way to advance to the next track when on the get info screen, rather than having to close the screen then long press on the next track.

it would also be nice if i could set SongOwl to reopen at the last view. as it is, if it has to relaunch the app it defaults to the Library view. i have my music organised in playlists, so it would be nice if i could set it to open in the playlist view. if that makes sense?

anyway, thanks for another fantastic music player! i’m looking forward to seeing where SongOwl and Cs go from here!

Been looking for this for years

The ability to sort within my playlists by Artist makes it so I can essentially make many smaller music libraries. This is so helpful I struggle to put it in words. Thank you for this app!

Lyrics support

Hi mike, Great music app, really love it. Just wondering whether lyrics will be supported in the future?

I love SongOwl! Making stats-based playlists is super easy. I especially appreciate integrating playback controls.
