MusicBox: Save Music for Later

Big thumbs up to Marcos Tanaka for adding features that must have been added natively to Spotify and AppleMusic years ago. There are some UI issues and imperfections, some features are “buried” deep in the app, but I’m sure this is a matter of time. Marcos, if you ever see this - I’m sure the users will really appreciate it if you could add SoundCloud support. Cataloging mixes and random tracks from it along with your music library would be gold. Cheers!

This application has all the tagging and filtering that’s missing in Spotify

For those who like to keep track of new music this is such a great app and clearly coded by someone who knows their stuff. One thing I would love to be added is Siri integration for those times when you’re on the move and a new playlist track comes on that you want to go back to. This is easy enough to do manually using the track’s share function but it would be very cool to be able to say ‘Siri, share to MusicBox’. Other than that small thing I can’t fault it and recommend it wholeheartedly. Edit: I see now Siri can add to MusicBox but only with the phone unlocked and with the app open, so nothing to gain using a voice command in that context really. It would be nice if a more practical implementation of Siri could be added but maybe that’s not possible.

Love it. Helps me keep track of all the artists, albums and genres I’d like to know more about. Love the sync and drag & drop functionality. If there was one feature I’d like to see, it’s multi-select for quickly rounding albums up into tags.

Just brought this app and it’s one of the best apps I’ve brought. It is such a way to track all your music with a lot of information. Can be used to help remember albums that I need to get. I use this along side MusicHarbor. Top app and such a cool price. Highly recommended.

I’d been trying to manage my “listen later” songs using regular playlists for a long time and it was not working. This app is exactly what I was looking for. It’s very well made and attractively designed, very easy to use (you can just send stuff straight from Apple Music via the share sheet) and runs on all Apple platforms. Really highly recommended.

I could end this review after one line: if you like MusicHarbor and know how much love Marcos puts in his apps, please buy MusicBox. This is my app of the year. It completes the iOS / iPadOS / macOS music app ecosystem. Apple Music gives us access to unlimited music. MusicHarbor helps us keep up with favourite artists and labels. MusicBox helps us “gather” everything that’s new in easy to digest collections. I could go into more detail but better writers have done reviews (MacStories). This app is a must buy for music lovers.

Love this. I love music but I often add a bunch of albums to my library and then lose track of them. This app is what I’ve needed.

Please make the option to add a singular song or an entire discography straight from the music box search feature 🤍

This is a super useful app, as it allows me to “bookmark” things I want to come back to, without cluttering up my Apple Music library. My only criticism is that I really wish there was an option to toggle/hide the 4 large default panels at the top of the Start Screen (if there’s a way to do this, it’s not obvious) - I interact with MusicBox entirely using Tags and Smart Searches, and those 4 default buttons are just useless clutter for me.
