Juliet, Open Subsonic Player vs aud

Juliet is a native music player for your personal server. Connect to your Subsonic or OpenSubsonic-compatible server (Navidrome, Airsonic, Gonic, and more) to stream your entire music library on your iPhone and iPad. Siri compatible. Your music, your server, no subscription. IMPORTANT CONTENT & PRIVACY COMPLIANCE Juliet is strictly a private media client interface. The app does not host, provide, or license any media content, nor does it include features for sharing files, data, or links between users. Users are entirely responsible for providing their own private server infrastructure and content. The developer does not condone or support unauthorized file sharing. HOME AND AWAY Juliet smartly manages two addresses per server: a local address for when you are on your home network, and a remote address for everywhere else. The app automatically probes your local network first and falls back instantly to the remote connection, ensuring seamless playback whether you are on the couch or on the road. BUILT FOR LISTENING • Gapless playback, ideal for album transitions and live sets • System integration, full support for Lock Screen controls, Control Center, and CarPlay • Synced lyrics(1) that follow along, with a lock screen Live Activity • Browse by artist, album, and genre, all by tags... not folders (1) Juliet tries to retrieve lyrics from your personal server, or any LRCLIB-like API if configured. OFFLINE, DONE RIGHT Download your favorite albums, playlists, and tracks for offline listening. Downloads continue in the background even when the app is suspended, preserving your original files exactly as they are without re-transcoding. PLAYLISTS AND DISCOVERY • Your server playlists, plus automated collections like Favorites, Top Rated, and Most Played • Genre mixes and an Artist Mix that shuffles deep cuts across an artist's catalog • Powerful search across your whole library ON YOUR WRIST A watchOS companion comes along for playback control on the go. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your security matters. All server credentials are encrypted and stored safely inside the iOS Keychain. Juliet communicates exclusively with the server you specify. No third-party tracking, no ads, and no user accounts required. Bring your own server and make it sing.

Your music. On your devices. Beautifully. aud-io is a local-first music player for the music you actually own, with the option of adding your Apple Music library alongside it. Two libraries, one beautiful app, never merged and never overwritten. EVERYONE ELSE MAKES YOU CHOOSE Local players cannot touch Apple Music. Apple Music players cannot touch your files. aud-io does both, and keeps a hard line between them, so your collection stays exactly as you built it. MEET THE SHELF Cover Flow, rebuilt. Scroll through your own artwork, from your own files, and tap to play. Browse by artist, album, song, playlist or genre when you know what you want, and use The Shelf when you do not. BRING YOUR LIBRARY IN, YOUR WAY Import from Files, share or AirDrop from anywhere, watch a folder, open a ZIP, or send your library straight from your Mac over local Wi-Fi. Peer to peer, device to device, no cloud in between. aud-io reads your existing metadata and artwork. FLAC, ALAC, M4A, MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, Opus, Ogg Vorbis and CAF. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO LISTEN CAREFULLY The free player handles your whole library, in every format, at up to 256 kbps. Pro removes the ceiling: every file at its native resolution, bit-perfect to your DAC, with automatic source rate matching, true gapless, crossfade, a 10-band EQ and EBU R128 loudness normalisation. EVERYWHERE YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN iPhone and iPad, with a native Mac app available separately. Apple Watch as a remote. CarPlay for your library and playlists on the road. AirPlay to your speakers. Home screen widgets for Now Playing, Recently Added and The Shelf. Use aud-io on iPhone as a remote for the Mac from anywhere in the house. BRING IN A WHOLE COLLECTION Import CDs. Connect a NAS.

Group by genre. Build mixes from the files on your device, generated on your device. OPTIONAL, AND ONLY IF YOU WANT IT Add your own Google Gemini key and aud-io can curate mixes, suggest radio-style listening and enrich music details. The key lives in your device Keychain. Your audio is never uploaded. Without a key, it is simply off. Apple Music, if you connect it, uses your own subscription through Apple's system permission. NO ACCOUNT. NO SUBSCRIPTION. The free player is a capable local music player. One Pro purchase unlocks advanced listening. There is no recurring fee, and there never will be. Pro on iPhone and iPad is a separate purchase from Pro on Mac. Works fully offline. No aud-io server. No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
