Hello,
Currently use MM to organize media on PC while automatically backing it up to a NAS, which is used as a library to stream music to my phone via PlexAmp. I’m planning to transition to MMS soon. While Plex and PlexAmp are great services/apps, they do not share much tagging/starring/playlist functionality with MediaMonkey, meaning that the two operate independently in these regards. As a result I cannot make any cataloging changes on the go, and must keep a log that I then carry out when I return home. Obviously this is a clunky workaround that offsets the benefits of being able to stream music, but my library is far too large to be stored locally on my phone, even at reduced bitrates.
I was doing some reading on the forum and saw that there are no plans for a MM iOS app due to Apple’s restrictive demands with regard to local storage access. I was curious if y’all had reconsidered this with the growing popularity of MMS. To me, MM’s greatest strength is the control it gives users over how they organize and catalog their libraries. It would be very helpful to have an app on the phone that allows users to playback from their NAS and also catalog, edit metadata, rate tracks, make/maintain playlists, etc in a way that is seamlessly reflected in the library.
