Amazing Mixtape Player

Great player for songs you want local. High quality. no issues with playback and has accompanying album art. the developer is very quick to get back to you with anything you may need. So thankful for this app

Best app

Wow. A truly incredible music app. I was able to import mixtapes from mixtapemonkey, build playlists with them, and send those playlists with the MP3s to my friends! A friend even sent me some Drake songs Iโ€™ve never seen on any streaming service before. This is a game changer.

Love itโ€™s UI

So far love the app just weird it wonโ€™t show single songs big enough to show others or screenshot but other than that no problems

Great app- one recommendation

So as the title suggests, the app is great for storing unreleased music and offline capabilities. Iโ€™d like though if you could loop songs / playlists instead of it playing random songs from your library after a playlist has finished.

Got all the music Iโ€™ve been looking for for years!
