Suggestions

Like the app but as someone who keeps albums organized I wish we could get that as an option too , also if we could get a full dark mode background would be great as well, other than that really like the player reminds me of iOS 6 music player.

This is Still My Favorite Local Music App

The grid album view lets me so many more of my albums than Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube music ever do, and the blurred background color based on the detail of your album looks nice. Everything is quickly accessible, and simple double tap and swipe gestures make some actions faster that are more cumbersome in the other apps. I really like how minimal it feels w/o cutting out core functionality. This app actually *feels* clean, and I really appreciate that.

Will there be an update to optionally show more than 500 albums on the grid view? My library isn't there yet, but it's getting close.

After so many years… Amazing

A great way to browse my music

Nice app

Add equalizer please

No More Gray Background?!

This was my favorite music app because it had a dark gray background I could use at night to listen to music when going to bed and not expose myself to bright blue light computer screen which disrupts circadian rhythms and makes it harder to fall asleep. Now in the latest 2022 version the background is bright cream white and there does not appear to be a Setting to change it back to dark theme mode. If you want to provide bright background as the display default that's fine but at least give your existing users a preference option to change it back to original dark background. Yet another iOS app I relied on for years then a change was made that makes it unusable for my purposes, oh well, DELETE!
