Free

The foundation

Free, and not a trial.

Everything the paid tiers are built on top of. None of it is counted, watermarked or made read-only.

One track, however many copies

A record you own as FLAC and again as MP3, sitting in two different folders, is one track in your library. Everything above this leans on it: choosing between two copies of an album, and recognising your track on another device.

screenshots/dedup-track-places-{dark,light}.png

One row, every format and every place that track lives.

Views that follow the rules you set

Browse through an artists, albums or tracks lens with a filter rule engine behind it, an albums wall with filters of its own, playlists, quick filters and search. Each view is live, and stays where you left it.

A browse narrowed by rules, kept live as the library changes.

Your place, kept

Playback position survives quitting, separately per view. Save any moment inside a track and come back to it later. History says what you played and when, and lets you carry on from it.

screenshots/bookmarks-history-{dark,light}.png

A saved moment and the history it came from.

Every format, gapless between them — FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, OGG.
ReplayGain — a library built from many sources plays at one loudness.
An editable playing queue — reorder what is coming, and see where each track came from.
Core tags editing — written straight into your files.
Unlimited folders, and single files from anywhere — including a mounted NAS or network share.
Automatic sample rate switching — the output follows the track being played.
ZIP archives import — drag a download from Bandcamp in and it joins the library.macOS
Scrobbling — Last.fm and ListenBrainz, with your loved tracks imported and new ones sent back.
Lyrics — from the tags or from LRCLIB.
Scheduled and automatic stops — start at a given time, stop after this track, album or artist.
CarPlay, the Lock Screen and Control Centre — artwork, the transport and a working scrubber, through the system player rather than a second interface to learn.iPhone
Control the Mac from your iPhone — over the local network.
Twelve languages — and a notification history, so anything said while you were away is still there.

Pro

Beyond the local disk

A one-time purchase.

Your library stops being whatever is on this machine.

Your cloud is just another location

Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, pCloud, WebDAV, and any Subsonic-compatible server, Navidrome and Bandcamp among them. Played by range streaming, so a track starts without downloading it first.

Cloud and local folders, side by side in one library.

Take it offline

Download what you want to keep for when there is no network. What is downloaded is still the same track, in the same library, in the same place.

screenshots/offline-downloads-{dark,light}.png

Downloaded, and the rest still listed.

One album, many places

Where the same record sits in more than one location, the better copy is chosen, and an unreachable one falls back to whichever copy can be served. This is the deduplication in Free, doing something only Pro can ask of it.

screenshots/album-many-places-{dark,light}.png

The same album from two places, and which copy is playing.

Buffer whole tracks when streaming — off by default: it keeps playing when the connection drops, at the cost of data spent on a track you skip.
Limited connections — on cellular or in Low Data Mode, streaming, downloads, library scans and buffering are each yours to allow or refuse.iPhone
Tags editing for files you cannot write — the correction is kept by the library instead, so it survives every rescan.
ZIP import tag cleanup — choose which tags to keep, and strip embedded covers to save space.macOS
Remember locations on the account — adding them on a new device is trivial. Credentials are never part of it.
High quality resampling — when you need it.
Custom output channels — send playback to outputs 3/4 of an interface rather than 1/2.macOS
Resume what was playing — after a scheduled start.macOS

Sync

Your own devices, in step

A subscription.

What you have done and where you were, carried between your devices. All of it works offline and signed out on a single device -- the subscription buys the crossing, never the feature.

Stop here, carry on there

Pause on the Mac and continue on the phone from the same second, including picking up in the middle of an album.

screenshots/sync-handoff-{dark,light}.png

The same album, the same moment, on the other device.

One listening history

What you played on another device is here, with play counts per device and totalled, and you can carry on from any of it where the track is available.

screenshots/sync-history-{dark,light}.png

History from every device, in one list.

Corrections that travel

A tag you fixed once is fixed everywhere, even where the track comes from a different location or a different format on the other device.

screenshots/sync-tags-{dark,light}.png

Fixed on one device, arriving on the other.

Loved tracks — and the statistics behind them.
Date added — so “recently added” means the same thing everywhere.
Playlists, bookmarks and pinned albums — made on one device, there on the others.
Three switches, not one — bookmarks, listening and playlists each travel only if you say so.
