Thank you for this. I had been wanting exactly something like this, but specifically for Musicbee and most definitely not itunes. Please make it possible to start AutoDJ based on a song choice from the app (for that matter, a right click to “clear playlist and start auto dj based on this song” would also be appreciated in the software). In the App, please make it possible just to browse specific folders within my entire library because my library is too big for the phone to handle or properly peruse. Being able to browse by folder would be even better, as I can never get metadata to clean itself up enough to not be aggravating. Can use some more features and bug fixes, but I know this is new; so happy you got it started!
The app works good overall but doesn't follow in the spirit of free or affordable software that the actual MusicBee developer has maintained since the beginning. To me it seems greedy to charge so much off MusicBee success for an app this simple. This app is limited in features, has annoying ads, and options for subscription payments - or a one time $35 fee to remove the ads and unlock viewing and editing metadata (obviously free in MusicBee itself). What a joke with that pricing. A subscription for a simple remote app to play/pause and skip tracks, when the fully featured MusicBee software is completely free. Other apps that have way more features like play:Sub / Navidrome are free or have a small one time fee like $5. Since this is the only iOS app of its kind I still use it with an ad blocker, and appreciate it being available. I would be fine with paying a $5 fee for lifetime usage of a simple app like this just to remove the ads, but that's it. I'm not trying to manage my entire music collection on mobile. Hoping someone makes a simple music control app like this but free, no need to overdo it.
iOS version 2.2.1 when launched displays artist and title of currently playing tune from streaming radio, but when next new tune comes up, the display still shows the artist as it was when it was first launched even though new tune is playing. I know the info is available because if I click the 3 dots next to the artist on main screen the artist updates, just not on main screen. Thanks for writing this. I find it useful and handy especially to control volume using my phone, but if I want to see artist info, I am using an old iPad running MS RDP and connecting via remote session direct to the server. This tweak would be appreciated. Cheers!
Have enjoyed this app a few years now and can’t imagine my music listening without it! Combined with my whole house Sonos system is a dream. While I wish there was an Apple TV version so I could display album art on my tv while titles are playing, that is a small sacrifice for an otherwise very useful and handy app. Thank you!
Clean and responsive. Excellent interface. I agree with the DJ comments, but wow… just what I’d been looking for. People complaining about cost need to realize that developing software takes time and money. I honestly appreciate the opportunity to buy a perpetual license… keep up the good work!
The dev should really get props for this, great app, free, and not a buggy mess like you would expect from a app like this. Only thing I could ask for is better controls for the player itself, certain actions don’t work how you would expect. But otherwise it’s perfect
Extremely happy to find this remote. Volume control and skipping tracks was all I really needed at the moment, but looking forward to rating tracks through the app as well. So far, everything is working perfectly. Great app.
I love that we have an iOS version of the remote and the design is simple and looks nice. But the app would crash randomly when I try to do anything other than basic functions.
No ads, and a view that shows the entire recording/ disc playing, with complete track info (parenthetical, like source country or composer on a collection). Not just a choice between the present track and upcoming.
Overall not bad, but UI is a bit awkward to use. Maybe developer can take a look at the iTunes remote app. Mainly, move the artist, album, play list and search to bottom tab nav on Home Screen for easy access.
Unlike Apple’s Remote for iTunes, this app works very reliably. So I moved all my iTunes library to MusicBee. And when I had a problem upgrading the plug in, the email support was very timely.
It’s a good app but it’s too expensive at $35 for premium. I would do it when it was $1 each to remove adds and get other functions but that’s no longer available.
My seventh grade teacher always said organization is the key to success. Music bee organizes all of my music and works beautifully. Can’t rate this high enough!
After you install the plug-in, it works But.. a subscription? For a remote? Not even a full standalone app.. or $35 for a lifetime no ads Meanwhile, you can get whole navidrome apps for free… I really like MusicBee but sadly this is the only app around it Just don’t pay for the 35$
Keeps telling me connection unsuccessful. Haven’t even been able to use my paid subscription. Need to figure out how to cancel. Was looking forward to hearing Flac files on my phone but this ain’t it.
Used to be great. Now infested with adverts, and “only” $1.50 a month to remove them, or a one-off payment of $35. For a tiny little helper app? Yeah, dream on. I might pay that for a full games or something significant. This is a handy app, but it’s a $5 app at most. Uninstalled, with regret.
