Albums: Music Library Player

Full of bugs. Track not playing, different track lists appearing, app randomly closing. Contacted the developer and they didn’t respond. Great potential but….

Sometimes an app fits in with your thinking and your way of doing things. This is that app for me. I still like using Apple Music for music discovery and playlists etc, but it’s such a joy to open up this app and find Albums as I know and remember them. Artwork, credits and insights add to the pleasure of using this well designed app.

This app displays an error message every time I play anything. Since this is the purpose of the app it should be avoided. Update: if my first experience with a new app is an error message then I can only assume the “developer” did little or no testing and I should not waste any more time on it. This is a shame as this app seems like a good idea. Update many months later and each “update” still creates more problems than it resolves. What’s the point in paying for premium features if they don’t actually work?

almost all features are locked behind a paywall cool concept though

I’ve been using this for years. Just switched over to lifetime unlock. It’s superior in many ways to the stock Apple Music app and is a great discovery tool, in addition to many other interesting features. I use it daily. A wish: to have this on Mac. A suggestion: the interface in the iPad app is a bit confusing when it comes to settings. There are three different setting icons to choose from, and the one for general settings is hard to find if you don’t know where to look. I’m not a designer so I have no solutions, I’m just relaying that I sometimes get confused about what settings are where and for what. Hope: keep the CarPlay integration going. I hope I’m not the only one using Albums in my car.

Love the Home Screen widget! It lives at the top now and lets me easily listen to albums from my library, or skip to the next album. Perfect. One wish: I wish there were a Watch app too! Would love to be able to load some albums (even just randomly selected) to my watch and be able to play from there directly to AirPods. Would add an Albums complication in a heartbeat if there were one. Fingers crossed!

We don’t have landscape mode in the app on iPhone needs a major fix. It’s on iPad, but not on iPhone desperately needs landscape mode everywhere on iPhone on the iPad I get what you did it cause it made sense and that’s why You didn’t do it before with the iPhone, but it’s 2024 on the iPhone desperately needs this with this app please

I’ve always been a full album listener so you can understand how I truly appreciate this app. Another thing I’ve always done even before digital music is rate every song. As you know, you can turn on five star ratings within Apple Music. I know it’s not possible to rate songs through secondary music apps, (because of my experience with other music apps and what developers have told me). However, is there anyway you can still display the song rating in a read only way? I will gladly give you $100 tip through the honor policy. Two ways I want this: 1) when looking at all the songs as you’re open an album: 1. Track One 4* 2. Track two 5* 3. Track three 5* etc And then when playing the album… -Track two playing- ***** Like this :) Thank you very much for considering… and otherwise, this is a perfect app to me!!! :))

I’m FINALLY able to use my music library as I want — by albums. Doing song playlists for classical music is a non starter. One request would be to allow a pause, as selected, of 3/4/5 seconds, between albums. BUT! A really great feature would be for the app to speak the title of the album. Great App!

Exactly what I have always wanted.
