DS audio

When I play a song, it should ONLY play that extra songs if there's nothing in a queue. If I tap track 3 on an album, then go and add a different song to the queue, that different song should be next, not tracks 4-12 of the first album.

Does what is expected, would be great if there was a dark them for night use.

Missing features important to me, like gapless playback, scrubbing for AAC and Apple Lossless files (works only for mp3) and alphabetical tabs for navigating playlists. It would also be nice to be able to get detailed file info (format, bit depth, sample rate, etc). I requested these long ago, and the requests have been ignored; I guess not enough users want them, or Synology just doesn’t care. As of April, 2024 audio playback does not work if you sign in using HTTPS and you have "modern compatibility" selected in SSL/TLS settings. You either have to switch to HTTP or change the compatibility back to intermediate, both of which are less secure. I like the GUI of DS Audio, and no other app that I'm aware of has a similar layout. Otherwise, I'd switch immediately. Please, Synology, fix DS audio.

I have no complaints with this app. I moved my music collection to synology NAS and the previous music app (cloud beats) on my iphone didn’t connect easily. This one connected in a second and Inhad no issues ever since. It’s fast, shows all my thumbnails, keeps only the music on the phone that I want, the rest stays on the NAS. It works with Apple car play.

This was my go-to player until I had a vehicle with Apple CarPlay. App shows up as CarPlay-compatible, and it sorta is, but only if you are logged into your server, even if you have downloaded music to the phone.

New customer of Synology NAS I’ve been pretty happy with most aspects of my NAS but the music app/server looks incredibly outdated. It works, but it’s could definitely use a refresh and updated UI

If you wouldn’t develop a separate edition for MacOS, please just allow MacOS’ users to download it officially. I’ve tried PlayCover to side-load DS audio, and the app works fine as it performs on iPad.

I have been a dedicated Synology user for 15+ years and I think they are great NAS devices, but Synology do phone it in when it comes to the “consumer”-focused apps that they provide. It works but it doesn’t offer a whole lot. Expect to do your metadata management elsewhere. Also, why are the locally downloaded files put in some hidden location inaccessible to the Apple Files app? It’s really annoying I can’t access them or manage them from other apps.

The good part is that it will play my music from my home server. The bad part is the UI, ability to navigate around my files, weird login issues that require me to open the app 2-3 times, etc. Ultimately not sure it’s worth it.

I think the latest iOS might have broken logging into DS Audio entirely :(
