MusicBuddy Pro: Vinyls & CDs

Thanks for great application ! Eugene from Prague

I have been on a kick of listening to the debut albums of many artists, both that I like and of just well known artists I have never listened to beyond their singles. This app allows you to search online and find the album, then you can’t add custom tags to mark them in different ways. I have debut, 2nd album, 3rd, etc., how I own it (CD, Vinyl, Digital), or if it’s one I listened to on a streaming playlist, which is the majority, I have a tag for that as well. I would have started using this app years ago had I known about it!

Thanks to shopping around and another app wanting too much money for a similar product. But I like this one much better than theirs so I bought this app and glad I did too! THX!!!!

I’ve been using MB Pro for about a month (along with the Book & Movie Buddy bundle). As I play my LPs & CDs I load them into the app. By doing so, I enjoy reading more about the albums and entering the condition of the media and jacket as well my ratings. I also love the linkage to Discogs, which I also use. Together MB and Discogs make my music library come “alive.” The same comments apply to Book & Movie buddies. Suggestions to the developers: 1) add fields to track when “last played” and “last cleaned”. 2) somehow enable a linkage to Apple Music Library. Bottom line: wonderful app!

I love the details and options this app has to offer! I bought pro version and love it. The only two things i wish i could do is import my itunes library. And have it set up to veiw per song track and not album. Some albums i only have 1 or two tracks for. That way i can see how many songs i have and make a playlist based on songs instead of albums. The albums do have a tracks section in the info but i have to delete all the tracks i dont have on itunes. Overall great app.

Save entries only to have them disappear. Sync between iPhone and iPad is inconsistent.

I have been waiting for an app like this for decades. Literally. An amazing database that actually works. Very stable. Allows you to import and export. Recognizes an incredible amount of music and artists. It's easily customizable to fit your specific needs in the data you want to know and access. Bravo. The one thing they could do to break it would be to move the databases online and charge a monthly fee. But that would make them into just another crappy scam app. So, please don't. It will ruin everything. I like my information kept local where I can control it. As tempting as it might be, it's a terrible way to do business. No matter how hip it seems to make you look.

This app is without a doubt the best music collection app I have ever had!

I use this tool ALL the time. There are many features that I am still discovering. Reasons to get this app: 1) Support is EXCELLENT !! I had a question last night, and i got a clear (and helpful) response this morning. 2) Searching by song. When you load a CD or vinyl into your MusicBuddy library, most of them include a track list. You can search your library by a specific song name. So (for example) you can easily find all versions of “Limehouse Blues”. 3) Searching by artist. If you have a compilation album (e.g.”Various Artists”), and the track list contains the artist name along with the song (most do), then you can find all songs by an artist, even if it’s on a compilation. 4) You have immense flexibility with your loaded entries. If you can’t find the record online (a rare event), you can add it. You can add or edit tracks. If the online entry doesn’t have the cover, you can add a picture. 5) Simple backup procedures, which also allow you to view your catalog with a desktop computer. Summary: for me, an indispensable app !!!

I do not trust the sync feature. When syncing between Ipad and IPhone I get duplicate entries and entries that I had previously deleted or entries I had editied with the old edits still in place which completely makes syncing unusable for me. I recently purchased a new IPad. I backed up the files on my old IPad and transferred them. All the files from this app did not transfer to my new IPad. I am glad I kept my old IPad because now I have to manually transfer the missing information. Other than that I enjoy this app very much.
