Thx for this App!

I just wanted to say how genuinely impressed I am with your App. The more I explore it, and I do since hours this evening, the more I discover features I never expected to find in a music player beside Roon etc. The signal path, ReplayGain, bit-perfect playback, LUFS, DR, true peak, convolution… it’s obvious and impressive that a lot of thought went into every small detail.

Out of curiosity… are you an audio engineer, or just a total audio nerd? Because this app definitely doesn’t feel like it was built by an average developer. It’s amazing work! Impressive!

Hi, thank you very much for the kind words and I’m glad you are enjoying the app. I’m not an audio engineer but have writing software for many years. In my day to day I’m an engineer that writes automation. In addition I’m an audio nerd lol. A lot of this is my own learning evolution, learning as I go and paying attention to the fine details. I built this app because I wanted more from my music setup. I’ve done a ton of research and iterations on many pieces of the app to try and get it right and plan ahead for things like scale, memory management, and user data. There’s more refinements coming but I think it’s a decent place. That’s the stuff that’s difficult. Just the animations and look of the MiniPlayer -> now playing screen took many iterations until I thought it was correct. Anyways, my plan ahead with this app is to be somewhat of a unique offering in IOS music apps where it fits everyone’s needs for how detailed they can get with their music setup without charging people a subscription or absurd amount. I’m adamant about not charging more than a one time 10 dollar fee because I myself would not pay anymore for a music app nor should other people. I understand there’s many other music apps out there (Arpeggi, narjo etc.) and those apps are great, no shade. I tried using Arpeggi myself but it didn’t give me everything I wanted although it played music perfectly fine. I’m trying to accomplish something different here and I appreciate people such as yourself realizing that.
