DS audio Hack 5.16.4 + Redeem Codes

This app is absolutely fantastic in the fact I can use it to stream my music to all my devices but one issue that I have found is that I can not scrub the song forward or backward while it is playing. I’m not quite sure why that is but It’s frustrating. Effectively what happens is when I try to scrub through a playing song the scrub bar will just jump back to It’s current position & not update to the new location within the song.

I really hope that this reaches the developers since as I see that this app hasn’t been updated for over a year which is a tad concerning.

I have a Synology NAS ds3018xs on which I installed Audio Station, a Synology product. I have 600 GB of music on it, all FLAC, ALAC, MP3s. I’ve used DS Audio for months to access the music and sometimes use DS File to maintain the library. DS Audio has worked without a hitch. Love it. I run it on my phone out and about and am able to stream CD quality lossless to a B1 Audioengine BT device which can pass lossless through its optical out to my Bifrost DAC at home. From the NAS I can also play directly out the USB 3.0 port on the back of the NAS directly to my Bifrost DAC. I also have roon, plex, Tidal, and others. DS Audio is straight forward and simple and my preferred way to play music. It took me a bit to learn the app and a bit to get the NAS up just the way I wanted it. I don’t have any faults to report. There is a good user community, accurate documentation, and years of usage if you get stuck.

I appreciate the team creating such a great app with awesome potential. I still can’t sign with quick connect on network. I can connect only on my wifi. I thought initially it was problem with my network, but I can remotely access photos and other apps. I even changed our router but still can’t sign up. Please fix it. Thank you

Update: it started working today. Not sure what happened. Only other recommendation is make menu and icons more modern.

Thanks so much!

If Synology invested time and resources to develop DS Audio, their NAS would be a must-have for music lovers. I’ve been using the app every day and it already is extremely usable. Well, until few days ago. Now the app doesn’t allow changing the “player” setting and actually freezes when opening that setting, at least on iPad - this makes it unusable to me.

I use the app as a control point for my home hifi when at home, and to listen via headphones when out. Without being able to switch the player setting from USB Speakers to headphones and vice versatility, the app is useless for me. Everything used to work for many years until now.

DS Audio has so much promise.

Listen, it’s a great app. I use it to listen to music all the time and have little problems. But, lately, a REALLY big bug has surfaced and has not been fixed. Clicking the “play next to current” button, which conveniently allows the track to play after the one you’re currently listening to, makes the whole app crash. Just that button, but it’s a very important button. If you click on it, regardless of the song, or situation, your app will go down. Please fix it, and you will be granted five stars.

First off, nothing I do or change seems to let me log in with https turned on. Second, there are some very basic things missing which are available in the Audio Station desktop UI which make this imminently less usable: no recently added section, you can’t change the sort order in any view, and there’s no search. I wish this app was more useful because I’d love to see it become my new standard, but when the app is this old and this immature, I can tell I’m better off searching for an alternative.

I love that I can stream exactly what content I want, even specific albums on my NAS. The problem with the app is that if you’re running it through Bluetooth on your phone, once you get out and back in the car, the app makes you reconnect and doesn’t remember previous status, even if you don’t close the app. Plus it doesn’t buffer all that efficiently, so if you run into a dead spot the app stops playing, then makes you log back in once you get the signal back. All this makes it way to inconvenient to use.

I have been using this a lot more since Pandora is so ad crazy. Lately, it loses its place if stopped for more than a couple of minutes. And it doesn’t do a very good job of grouping songs into albums. Sometimes all but a couple are in one album and one or two are in another album with same photo and names. Shuffle and default favorites stop playing and I have to advance the song a few seconds to start it again.

From what other reviewers are saying it sounds like unrealistic expectations, user error or bad audio files (that’s to be expected if you steal music online). I uploaded all my lossless ripped albums and iTunes purchases to my Synology and this app works perfectly. No problems with gaps, no album name issues, no problems at all so far. I do have one complaint and that is the lack of a EQ, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means.

This app is great for very simple music playing but horrible for audio books. It can’t keep track of any order or history so audio books are horrible to use with it. It doesn’t have any quick jump forward or backward to find spots and it constantly logs you out and resets the track if you pause the audio for too long (couple of minutes). Has some improvement to make it a great app but like I said for a basic music player it’s ok.
