MusicLoop vs SonicMate

Discover music beyond the mainstream. This app is built for listeners who want more than charts and algorithms. We focus exclusively on independent music — artists who create freely, experiment boldly, and release music on their own terms. No major labels. No chart chasing. Just honest sound. What makes us different Indie-only platform Every track is from an independent artist. No mainstream releases, no label-driven promotion. Global underground discovery Find emerging artists from cities and scenes around the world — from bedroom producers to small collectives. Curated, not crowded Instead of endless feeds, we highlight music intentionally. Quality over quantity, always. Genres without boundaries Indie pop, alternative, electronic, folk, experimental, lo-fi, ambient — if it’s independent, it belongs here. For listeners Discover music you won’t hear anywhere else Support artists directly by listening and sharing Build a personal library of truly original sounds For artists Share your music without pressure to fit trends Reach listeners who care about creativity, not numbers Be part of a community that values independence This is not a streaming app for everyone. It’s for listeners who believe music is more than background noise. If you’re tired of the mainstream, welcome home. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

SonicMate plays the music you already own: the library hosted on your own Navidrome server, or on any Subsonic-compatible server. No catalogue, no subscription, no algorithm. Just your library, on your server, organised the way you organised it. IMPORTANT SonicMate is a player, not a music service: to use it you need your own Navidrome or Subsonic server, which you already run or set up yourself. If you don't have one, you can still explore the app by tapping "Prova la demo" (Try the demo) on the sign-in screen. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse your library by artist, album, genre and playlist • Search across tracks, albums and artists • Stream straight from your server • Download tracks and listen with no connection • Create and edit playlists • Mark favourites • Come back to recently added and most played APPLE WATCH The Apple Watch app works as a remote for your iPhone: it shows what's playing, offers play, pause and track skip, and adjusts the volume with the Digital Crown. IN THE BACKGROUND Playback continues with the screen locked, with controls on the Lock Screen and in Control Centre. PRIVACY SonicMate collects no data. No tracking, no usage analytics, no advertising, no third-party components. The app talks only to the server you configure: your credentials and downloaded tracks stay on your device. REQUIREMENTS A Navidrome or Subsonic-compatible server reachable from your iPhone, on your local network or over the internet. SonicMate is an independent third-party client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Navidrome project.
