GridPlayer - Music Player is a music player designed for personal music collections. Whether your music is stored in local folders on your iPhone, WebDAV, NAS, or private servers such as Emby, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Subsonic, and WordPress, GridPlayer helps you build a unified, organized, and long-lasting personal music library. โ Unified Music Sources GridPlayer supports multiple music sources, including local music import, WebDAV connections, and media servers such as Emby, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Subsonic, and WordPress. Songs, albums, and artists from different sources can be automatically merged into a single music library, reducing the need to switch between services. โ Supports Multiple Audio Formats Supports popular audio formats including MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and AAC, allowing both local collections and private server music to play smoothly. โ Smarter Library Organization GridPlayer automatically detects duplicate songs across different music sources and prioritizes versions with better audio quality and more complete metadata. You can also organize artists, collect albums, create playlists, customize playlist covers, and edit artist artwork based on your preferences. โ Music Metadata Parsing Local music and WebDAV sources support automatic parsing of song titles, artists, albums, artwork, and lyrics. After importing, your music becomes more than just files โ it becomes a fully browsable library organized by songs, albums, artists, and years. โ Cross-Source Personal Data Favorites, playlists, and playback history can be associated across different music sources whenever possible. When switching servers or music sources, your listening habits and library organization remain as consistent as possible. โ iCloud Multi-Device Sync Supports syncing favorites, playlists, and personal data through iCloud, keeping your music experience consistent across devices. โ Smart Era Classification & Recommendations GridPlayer can automatically categorize songs by release era, helping you quickly revisit music from different periods of your collection. The app also generates personalized recommendations based on your favorites and listening history, helping you rediscover your library. โ Offline & Cached Playback Remote music can be cached to reduce interruptions caused by unstable network connections. Ideal for commuting, traveling, or unstable local network environments. โ Equalizer & Playback Experience Built-in equalizer support allows you to adjust sound output based on headphones, speakers, or personal listening preferences. The player also supports playback queue, recently played, favorites management, continuous playback, background playback, and lock screen controls for a smoother listening experience. โ Lightweight Modern Interface GridPlayer features a clean and intuitive interface focused on music playback, library organization, and personal collections. It is not a streaming platform, but a player designed for people who truly own and manage their music.
