Cons
Con Interface can be confusing and unintuitive
Playlists and collections are sometimes interchangeable. Many interactions do not have the option to play music and the app is very centred around it's Loop subscription.
Con Collections and Playlists not good enough. Too simple.
When you have a big library you need a little more than just a bunch of names gathered. Adding folders to a collection put all files in a column and that's it. No sign of which album the song is from, cover etc... you have to play the file in order to see more info... Too simple.
Con Premium cost for basic functions like EQ
They upgraded to a "premium" model. Try and find an old version 2.8.x if you want a usable player.
Con Miss-reads iTunes databases
Reads compilations as multiple seperate albums. Creating a unique album for each artist in the compilation.
Con Buggy and hangs often
Con Cloud storage has hefty monthly fee
Con Uses almost as much CPU and memory as iTunes
While the interface is cleaner, the code is not.
Con GUI too small for HI Res screens
Not resizable and everything looks tiny including covers and texts.
