MusicStreamer App Reviews

Great app.Just it would be nice if you add seamless playing feature

This app is a gem, very capable, good design. Highly recommended.

It finds files on your network very quickly and easily. The sound is good. It streams playlists to Chromecast.

This app has breathed new life into my Kingston MediaLite Wireless G2, a decent wireless media device with built-in samba (SMB) sharing whose own apps music functionality is pretty lame. As mentioned by other reviewers and in the subject, MusicStreamer allows mounting of samba (SMB) shared folders and once you have pointed it to one, it indexes that directory and its sub-directories and locates all music files. While at home, I can point to the same drive share that I have on my portable and have easy access by toggling between profiles. On the subject of toggling, I like the fact it toggles between album mode, playlist mode & "driving" mode (the one with a steering wheel icon), which makes the controls really big. Overall, I have been pleasantly surprised how feature packed and easy to use this app is, with many features being so intuitively placed. In addition to its functionality, I really like the design of the app icon/logo, as well as the look and feel (including color scheme) of the app itself, which are details that many apps out there are missing. So, for this, my eyes thank you =) One last thing… Nathan from Stratospherix was very responsive to some questions I had about playlists and I look forward to watching this app continue to improve over time. Many Thanks!

App provides a way to export song playlists to both Mac & PC. Would give it 5 stars if I could IMPORT the playlist back into the player following edits to the playlist on my computer. (So much easier to add songs and manipulate that way.) That feature would make it perfect. I have many playlists and dont want to have to duplicate my efforts in recreating those playlists.

Easy, nice, I like it but... Lots of people using flacs these days, so *.cue support is essential. Is this that hard to implement? Check out how Foobar2000 developers do it. Also there are couple of unknowns: 1. Is the app downsampling lossless audio? 2. Based on your other app "FileBrowser" do you cache streaming content locally on iDevice? If so, then how can I clean it? So far 3 stars from me. Thank you.

Ive been hunting for an app that can stream flac files from my server to my hi-fi. This thing does that perfectly, it also does gapless playback without a problem. My only feedback is that I wish you could use it in portrait landscape. I also wish it would attempt to reconnect to your server if it ever loses connection.

What I need is a way to stream my very large FLAC collection over my home wifi network easily and reliably. This app works like a dream. The software is not "horrid", in fact its very intuitively set up, with an easy to use interface. This is by FAR the best way to stream FLACs Ive found, and I have tried a lot of apps. Highest recommendation.

I was surprised to learn after I purchased the product that it does not play DRM music files. I like the idea of streaming music from my PC. Unfortunately, I have quite a few music files that are DRM. Hopefully in the future it will have this capability. In the meanwhile, I will not be using this product.

Does not play sub folders!! Does not stream to the chromecast like their FileBrowser app. All I wanted is to play all files and subfolders from the root directory shuffled. It thinks the subfolders are albums. My root is called Music then genreartiestalbum and every genre is an album. In album or artiest view it displays the same amount of tracks and even then is the wrong amount after scan. Needs a lot of work and compared to their Filebrowser app which is much snapper, this app will lag and crash. Help tab does not help with NAS boxes as inclined on their about description.

Very good now, with the potential to be the best!! Scans the DLNA server the first time its run, and caches song info and art, providing a very responsive experience. Scroll bar on right moves quickly through large amounts of content. Plays FLAC files with no problems. 3 features would take it to the next level: Showing the DLNA Folders structure. The ability to play a subfolder directly. The ability to use playlists stored on the server. One of the best streamers of local music available.

I would have loved to have the following features in this otherwise fine program: 1. It should stay in portrait mode as well rather than forcing the landscape mode. 2. There should be an option to shuffle play the tracks. 3. An option to repeat one track or all (in the playlist) will be useful. 4. If it could play DTS music tracks as well. 5. A play timer is needed so you dont drain the battery. Using IPad timer is inconvenient.

You must turn on SMB and Windows file share to use the application. Read the security warnings when you authorize this. It locked up multiple times trying to scan my iTunes library on my iMac.

Hello, I like the idea of accessing my time capsules MP3 files via MusicStreamer. However, the app is very limited in options to view media. Here are some ideas, Have a view "folder" category instead. Allow the user to make playlist based on how the music is organized on the hardrives (i3. Folders) When creating a playlist, we do not have the option to choose files or folders. Lets get an update out as quickly as possible team. Dont let your users disappointed and look for other options out there. The future of this app is within your hands. Make some updates and we will all be happy.

Useful if you keep your music on one machine and have limited iPhone space.

The app does stream FLAC files from my network drives. What I like is there is no companion app required. Loads meta data directly from the music share and builds its library from that. Unfortunately the UI is very basic and cluttered. The media management is limited. You can only display music by album or artist. There is no genre support. This is fine if you have a small collection of music but with several hundred albums its a problem. Need to be able to sort by Genre, Artist then Album. The app is not laid out well either. Very cluttered screen that puts current playlist, library and now playing on one screen. Seems like the developers did the minimum work to get this out the door. Compared to their FileBrowser app which I love and is very refined this seems like a stepchild. I bought this based on my experience with FileBrowser. I was disappointed. Its a very basic app thats rather ugly and not pleasurable to look at. I hope the developers put the time and revamp the UI and add the aspects any good media streaming app should have. For now Id suggest using Tonidio. Its free, streams FLAC, has a better UI but does require a server app. Come on guys. I know you can do better.

Streams from a large myCloud NAS flawlessly. I like that I can build and save playlists, shuffle or just have it pick 10 random up next from my library. No need to have iTunes open or pay for cloud storage that I already own. Works well with FileBrowser and supports AirPlay. I also like that at a tap of a button I can have it rescan for updates. Im fine with the UI as is.

Great way to enjoy my music without loading it on my iOS devices. Works with compressed and uncompressed files, even displays artwork. Frankly, it surpasses iTunes.

Im using this with my MobileLite NAS to play all my music in the car from my iPhone. Fantastic! Just one request... A "shuffle all tracks" feature exclusive of playlists. What do you say, devs? Great software, great price!

I recently purchased a Seagate Wireless Plus 1TB drive to store most of my FLAC music library with wireless access on long trips & plane flights. I had downloaded a couple other apps that did a lot of other things… video streaming, photo viewing, as well as audio, but the UI for the music player was GARBAGE with NO settings to play an entire album. You had to play each track individually, and for all the work that I’ve done making sure the TAG info was right for each song, the other apps didn’t even use the metadata. I was very skeptical when I stumbled on MusicStreamer, but it has TOTALLY met every expectation of greatness I was looking for. THANK YOU!!! One little issue… I’ve got the app on my iPad Air and iPhone 6 and am seeing the app continually crash while trying to scan the data. I restart the app and tell it to ‘continue scanning’, but it usually crashes again within minutes. I do have over 30k songs it’s trying to scan… could that be a problem? I’ve got LOTS of avail memory on both devices.
