MusicStreamer App Reviews

I’ve been using MusicStreamer for several years now, and I’m amazed how well it has met my needs. It’s configurable, but without introducing a learning curve. Plenty of times, I’ve thought “if I’d written this myself, I’d make it do X,” and it turns out the app does indeed do exactly that. Huge fan, no notes, 10/5 stars. Platform: iPhone, music on NFS share from TrueNAS

I found this searching for an app that; 1) isn’t tied to iTunes, 2) doesn’t collect data, 3) is simple to connect to nas sources. This app checked all these boxes and I use it constantly. The only thing that I didn’t include in my search is the ability to see music sources listed in a folder view. This is important to me because I have a lot of teaching material that I use on a daily basis that have weekly meditation modules that are within sub folders. Without a folder view, I have no way of as

I'm using MusicStreamer to play music (flac) being streamed from a Raspberry pi using Samba. Connecting was simple and the app GUI is really nice.

People looking for the old Winamp, unplugged experience. Get an iPhone case that allows a microSD insert … find your old MPs … and you save $10 a month on Spotify

I have a NAS that holds my extensive music library across multiple genres, decades, and artists. MusicStreamer connects seamlessly to my NAS and stays connected. I can connect to my Yamaha amp, my Sonos speakers, even my TV. I can play across those devices all together or one at a time. I get no drops, no static, no issues in playback. I play an album start to finish or I can create playlists of my favorites tunes. I can shuffle or repeat play. All my cover art is shown as stored. Oh, did I ment

Fast, easy to use music app. More apps, and their companies should be like this. Well done.

App works great but would really be something if it supported network streaming via DNLA/UPnP directly to my network attached stereo. Bluetooth is not nearly as good for lossless files like FLAC. Bluetooth speakers don’t perform any where near as well as my wired stereo towers. Maybe in a next revision?

The app is amazing, but I'd prefer not to have everything I play (even songs I'm playing via a playlist) auto added to a queue. This makes no sense to me. There's already a Play History list, so this just confuses me. I may be simple-minded, and just don't get it, so why not make "Enable the Play Queue" an option?

Exactly what I was looking for! I have a mobile router with a USB drive in the car and this lets me scan the shared folder for all of my songs. A+ and thank you! 😊

I once had the issue and the support team help me out immediately. Now I can again enjoy the best music player for NAS!

This flat out the best solution for all your music streaming needs. I would add the request for an Apple TV version, and certainly would pay to support the devs. The support from these guys is also top notch. Thank you for a terrific music solution!

Brilliant app that faultlessly plays my CD collection (ripped to FLAC & stored on a thumb drive on my wireless router). Have tried multiple iOS DLNS/uPNP streamer apps and this is the only one that works faultlessly - on both my iPhone and iPad. It reads tags accurately, displays album art and sounds great. Delighted. A YEAR LATER It's now over a year since getting this app and still discovering great new features. Just superb.

Hello, I am loving this app. It helps me to play all of the files stored on my NAS. But there is a issue I want to mention. This app failed to extract tag data (like Album art) from opus file. Can you look into the issue? Thank you so much.

I find this the best app on the iPad for streaming your music collection over your network from a NAS or computer. The one thing that I would like to see that would be an improvement is the ability to minimize or collapse the playlist or que panel to give more space to display the album covers.

I use to stream music off my PC while sitting out on the deck. It’s great!!!

This is just what I wanted. Not as intuitive as I would like for my wife but she’ll get it soon.

When I add the network location, it adds it as album. No good. Also the filters which are based on iTunes genres or id3 genres tags don't work, they just highlight certain songs that belong to the filter.

Tried a dozen streaming apps, both free and paid and after a couple yrs this is the best yet. Works great with Chromecast audio too.

iTunes couldn't access music on my NAS server from my iPad. This app was easy to set up and it works quite reliably.

I use it to play music from my NAS on my wireless headphones. Works great.

So easy to manage your library from your device and stream everything while at home. Best music app available.

Totally love it. I use it with a WD MyBook Live. Works great. And customer support responds.

I have been looking for an app that does all this! Stream off my NAS drive, and queue up songs. What a great app.

Great app, three things missing 1- Reach support team (share contact please) 2- Change the User Interface Text Size 3- Lookup songs metadata and retrieve missing info and album cover

Seamlessly streams my collection of digitized music. Most are stored on local NAT drive. Nice interface and reliable streaming. Works as desired.

Great app, does exactly what it’s suppose to. Nothing comes close. Thanks 5⭐️

Can’t read playlists in the servers, can’t combine servers into one database. Most of my folders are lumped together as a single album even though a folder may actually contain several hundred albums

Still loving the app after a couple years. Wish I could add music to MS library via share pane from another app. Please make an aTV version. *************** Great iPad app. There is no great music app for aTV. Please make one!

Love the player, works great with my NAS, but wish it would shuffle the songs, not just one song after another from the same artist.

This app is easy to use, fast, and works flawlessly. I use it to stream music from a Synology NAS, and it’s far superior for that purpose than any NAS-resident solution (Flex, iTunes, etc.).

I am an iPhone user, but I have 9000 songs I ripped from CDs I purchased over 20 years on a hard drive that I can’t listen to on iTunes. This app lets me have access. Easy to do. Easy controls. Thanks.

In offline mode. First, you can’t track backwards to the previous track. Interface needs tweaking, because you can’t find some basic tools like deleting a track. And this is the worst offender, RANDOM really isn’t RANDOM! I have about 1,000 songs and I CONSTANTLY hear the same tracks, sometimes writhin minutes of each other.

I struggled with this when I first downloaded the app last year. I mean seriously struggled the help files are not all that helpful and now I’ve upgraded my phone and have to go through it all again. I’ve sat here over an hour creating music sources but can’t connect to any of them. It’s just too complicated.

I really want to love this app. Streaming directly from iCloud Drive is a fantastic feature as I have about 5TB of music stored there. However the UI is horrid. Why can’t I tap on a song and then just hear the rest of the album? The whole “play this”, “queue up” option is just stupid. Larger text would be nice. The player is just strange…the artwork all the way at the bottom with all of that wasted space up top?

Why wouldn’t you not take the album name from the file tag!? To go even further, the first folder under the artist folder is usually the album name, which you ignore and instead take the subfolder as the album name. So most of my albums show up in the app with the name “Disc 01”. Just dumb coding. Use the tags for their purpose.

works as advertised. Things to improve on 1. Allow scaling of fonts. Letters too small.
