Efficient Music Searching
Quickly search through your music collection, regardless of its size. You can find albums, artists, and songs—though this feature requires your UPnP/DLNA server to support searching.
Designed for All Collections
Whether you have a vast collection or a smaller one, you can effortlessly scroll through thousands of albums, artists, or songs. Your experience is limited only by your UPnP/DLNA media server’s capabilities.

Create Local Playlists
Organize and enjoy your favorite tracks by creating playlists locally.
Access Album Booklets
If you're using Minimserver as your Media Server, access album booklets directly from the app.

Stream music to UPnP/DLNA renderers. If your renderer supports gapless playback, enable this via Settings > UPnP/DLNA. This setting may also help in reducing gaps between tracks even if gapless is not supported.
