I bought this app because the description said it played to Chromecast Audio. I couldn’t get it to work for quite a while — my Chromecast device finally showed up when I went to playlists. Not sure what happened there... The app doesn’t leverage the iTunes library. Rather, it scans a particular PC path for music files and allows you to stream them. I have had problems that, when I try to play a playlist, the app mysteriously stops between songs. That’s a bit irritating. So, overall, while it does what’s advertised, it seems a bit clunky. I wish iTunes allowed you to play to Chromecast, but this is an acceptable workaround.

One positive thing is finally a player that allows a playlist. Now for what is missing from this app. Although the same app developer here is the same for FileBrowser you cannot play songs that are stored on your phone. Such a mystery why this option is not there. This app does not offer a cross fade option so that you can blend from one song to the next to eliminate the silent gap between songs. Overall yes it does play your music from a network source but it is missing a very basic option to play songs you spent a lot of time downloading to your phone.

I had been looking for years to find a player for my networked music, but one that had the database reside on my phone: this works perfect and far passes my expectations. Initial scan (of a very large collection) just took minutes, secondary scan finished later in the day. I find the iPad GUI a little nicer than the iphones, but both are beautiful. Some actions seem a little clumsy, like erasing current playlist, but must work well and are neatly presented. Download (for offline play) is very efficient. Never crashes. Original setup of network far better than other apps I’ve tried. Worked very good at demonstrating how messy my genres were, so I did the manual re-tagging (whew) and then rescanned. Only little complaint, on my set-up, it takes 20-25 seconds for music to start on first start of a session. After that, though, all selections and skips are immediate. One of my favorite apps!
