Saltpath Music
Read full descriptionHide full description
Saltpath Music is a controller for the music library on your own Mac. Install Saltpath Music Host on a Mac, point it at a folder of audio files, and this app becomes a remote for it: browse your library, build a queue, and send playback to the Mac itself, to AirPlay speakers, or to UPnP/DLNA network players — all over your own network. REQUIRES A MAC This app is a controller. It needs a Mac on the same network running Saltpath Music Host, available separately on the Mac App Store. It does not work on its own. YOUR LIBRARY, NOT A CATALOG Saltpath Music plays the FLAC and M4A/ALAC files you already have. There is no streaming catalog, no recommendations from strangers, and nothing to sign in to. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse by album, artist, album artist, or genre, with a fast A–Z jump • Search your whole library • Build and reorder a queue; shuffle and repeat • Play to the Mac, to AirPlay receivers, or to UPnP/DLNA network players • Play on this device, with lock-screen and Control Center controls • Download tracks for offline listening away from home • Local Radio — an endless mix built from your own library, not a cloud service • Playlists, playback history, and a sleep timer • Fix album artwork, with the option to embed it into your files NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD Saltpath Music has no accounts and no servers. Your library never leaves your network, and this app collects no data about you at all. PRICING Saltpath Music works with the free Saltpath Music Host companion on a Mac, and includes a 14-day free trial of everything. The Controller can complete this iOS purchase without the Host being available. When the two apps subsequently connect over the local network, Apple-signed transaction proof is verified and Core Unlock is synchronized. A verified purchase made in either Saltpath Music or Saltpath Music Host unlocks both apps. No web or external purchase is used. WHAT IT IS NOT Not a streaming service. Not a cloud locker. Not multi-room sync. Not a metadata editor. It plays your files, well, on your own network.
