So frusterating - Open the app? Crashes half the time - broadcast to another device? Crash - swap from wifi to mobile or visa versa? Crash - search kinda works? Its super hit and miss and doesnt seem to follow any logical pattern of where or how it searches - No simple "randomize all" - No easy way to easily add a song to a playlist - App gives you access to your music and is just barely a music player. Dont try and use it as an everyday music player Edited

I've been using QMusic for about 6 months. Obviously, I have a QNAP server installed on my home network. To give you a sense of scale, I have about 2000 artists, 1500 albums and more than 20K songs. Qmusic isn't exactly perfect but, it's by far the best option for playing my collection on my home theater. The UI is plenty fast and, I find it easy to search for music and play it. I've compared it to VLC, Plex, the native Sony (TV) DLNA player. Sound is excellent and response time is the best of the apps that I've tested. That said, I am looking forward to trying Roon. One of the coolest features is that I can use Qmusic to access my NAS collection over the Qnap cloud and, therefore can stream my collection to any Airplay or Chromecast compatible device I come across. I will tell you, that bar outside Atlantic city didn't like it when I started playing music from my collection on thier TV. I guess they should have locked down thier TV (ha). I am giving this one 5 Stars. Good job QNAP.! Please keep enhancing this one.

Simple Access to your library, not much else. Basic playlist capability, but nothing intuitive about it. Can't select a folder and "shuffle all", also can't expect it to sort your music by anything other than already established folders unless you do it manually. That's fun when your collection is huge. Also, constantly jitters after a little while of playing. Frustrating at best.

An app this bad is hard to imagine. 1) Logs me out perennially. I'll log in, try to take a look at music, move to another app while I wait, come back, and I'm logged out. 2) Has zero feedback as to what's going on. Just sits there spinning the busy spinner till the cows come home. No frigging idea what it's doing. 3) mostly I never find out. Because I'm logged out again when I come back to look. Next mostly I just see a stupid "This Folder is Empty" background and nothing. No songs, albums, artists or genres. MusicStation on my Qnap shows them to me fine (slow, but fine). Qmusic, sees nothing. Twice in a week of trying, I did see it had songs, but I'd switch to albums, get the spinning wheel and well back to square one. And then log in and no songs. Local cache? Ha, ha. My guess: I have literally a few hundred thousand tracks on a Qnap TS-212 and I imagine it'd take some time to build a local cache of music on it. But I'd expect some lucid progress feedback, activity feedback and the app to build that even if it took an overnight run or longer and then have a local caxhe, and manage only changes efficiently as deltas. But no, total let down. I had such hopes for this.

A good effort from QNAP, the app works well but needs a few enhancements such as a progress bar of the song in the notification bar along with the play pause controls. Also the app needs to be faster in general. For example, Spotify is quicker at playing music and loading album art and song lists. Even going from one track to the next takes too long. Edited
