Soundwaves2.26 - App Store

Soundwaves is a client for the Subsonic music server.

Soundwaves focuses on simplicity, making it the ideal client to connect your iPad or iPhone to your home theater setup.

Optionally setting a suitable max bit rate, enables Soundwaves to work well even over a bandwidth limited connection (e.g. a mobile connection). It will also play nicely with your car radio, connected via USB, Bluetooth or CarPlay.

In addition to audio formats natively supported by iOS (e.g. mp3, AAC), Soundwaves can also play FLAC, Opus and Ogg Vorbis content.

Soundwaves can also play movies from your Subsonic server, as long as they are in a supported format (.mov, .mp4, .mpv, .3gp) or a proper transcoding has been configured on the server.

Soundwaves works with other media servers which implement the same Subsonic API's, such as Madsonic, Airsonic, Supysonic, LMS or Ampache.

Note about privacy: tracking only happens when using the free, ad-supported version. Removing ads via the in-app purchase also stops tracking and data collection.

Navidrome + AudioMuse), the context menu on a playlist entry will let you add similar tracks to the playlist 2.26 Sep 15 Now requires iOS 15.6+ 2.25 Jan 7 Sometimes cover images weren't displayed properly in CarPlay lists: it's been fixed. 2.24 07/08/2024 Minor improvements to the radio player 2.23 05/18/2023 This version tries to play back M4A files which have not been optimized for streaming, by downloading them entirely.
