About

Auzi

Auzi for iOS is the companion app for your Auzi desktop music library. Pair your device with Auzi on your desktop, sync selected music, and listen wherever you go. While you play, you can update track ratings and sentiment, then send feedback and playback history back to your desktop library. Auzi for iOS is designed for people who already manage their music in the Auzi desktop app. It is not a streaming service, music store, or standalone library manager. Your music and listening activity stay tied to your own Auzi library and sync over your local network with devices you choose to pair.
