Years went by and I moved my 500gb lossless-music-archive from iTunes (Mac) to pc foobar2000. Because of licensing things much „rare“, „bootleg“ or „uncommon“ music is not on streaming services. So i jumped on that streaming thing, apple music, spotify, tidal, … just to find out till today: nearly just 50% of my music is there. Well, apple than blew up iTunes imho into a wrong direction and finally killed it with the in these days upcoming music-streaming hype. Nice.īiggest „disadvantage“ here: you need always have a computer running, and interface, as much as I loved it, was not that „couch friendly“. So I could for example create intelligent playlist like: play genre „downtempo“, just ratings 5 and 4 star, duration per track not longer as 5 minutes, shuffle playback with crossfade. ITunes was perfect for me: gapless playback, crossfade playback, intelligent playlists, partymode alias iTunesDJ, good ID-tags, ratings, nice app-interface, (iVolumesGain via external app). Over roundabout 25 years I build my lossless audio library, in the beginning handling all as ALAC files in good old iTunes, connecting my Mac/computer to the TV for „couch-control“. Let me shortly explain why and where I come from: Just jump to the bottom if you are not interested into it and read my THANKS, because I think it’s also important for devs to read how thankful users are, and I am. Now that I finally found MrMC it absolutely blew my mind and really is a dream come true, BIG thanx!Īllow me a bit of explanation to go a bit into the past and tell the whole story. Switched Graphical Browser to modified version of Br3tts JSmooth Browser.I know your app can do more as music, but my interest is „just“ in a solution on appleTV playing and deal with my audio-files flawlessly.
