---------------------------------------------------------
This is the app for those who manage and play their music collection via the Kodi/XBMC media center. Unlike other Kodi/XBMC remote control apps, this app is solely focused on handling your music collection.
Highlights:
* Local favorites: Create a list of favorite artists, albums, songs, radio stations, etc.
* Shortcuts panel: Provides customizable quick actions, i.e., wake up the server, switch between servers, fade out the music, etc.
* Widget for quick control (from the lock screen, by force touch on the app icon, or from the notification center)
* Browse your music collection offline - it is cached entirely on your device! (important note: the music itself is not copied to the device and cannot be played on the device)
* Smart search: search artist, albums, and titles at the same time
* Fuzzy search: e.g., "Robby" will also find "Robbie"
* Context aware search results - for example, search for a title, and open the related artist and his albums
* Artist and album details - view the Kodi info, search the web, or browse Wikipedia, YouTube, or Amazon for infos about your favorite music
* Display the lyrics of the current song - even synchronized. Show lyrics of the CU LRC add-on, embedded lyrics, or search the web for lyrics
Further features:
* Different views of your music library: "Artists", "Albums", "Songs", "Compilations", "Folders", "Playlists", “Recent Music”
* Access to music add-ons – play radio, podcasts, etc.
* Resize the "Now Playing” panel by swiping up/down or pinching
* Adjustable cover size, up to full device width on iPhones
* Extensive sorting options
* Genre filter - works everywhere (even with last added/played tracks/albums)
* Match your iTunes playlists with your Kodi/XBMC music library to play them on Kodi/XBMC
* Sort, edit, and clear the play queue
* Play queue modes: Shuffle, Repeat single track, Repeat all, Party Mode
* Show codec, sample rate, and bitrate of currently playing track
* Party restrictions - only allow adding single tracks to the play queue
* Play from here - play the current track and all following tracks of its album/playlist
* Different queue options: Queue at the end or queue after the currently playing track
* See the remaining playing time and total number of tracks of the play queue
* Shows running library scans/cleanups
* Wake-on-LAN (WOL) the Kodi/XBMC server (manually or on startup)
* Server operations: Shutdown, restart, suspend, hibernate, rescan music library, clean music library
* Active ongoing development, strongly based on customer feedback (join us at http://kodimusicremote.com/support).
Extensive Device Support:
* Optimized for iPhone 6/7/8, iPhone 6/7/8 plus, and iPhone X (including split screen mode in landscape view)
* Supports multitasking on iPad (slide over on iPad Air/Air 2, split view on iPad Air 2)
* Adapted for iPad Pro
* Well-suited for slower Kodi devices (like Raspberry PI) and large music collections, because the entire music collection is cached locally
The app requires a Kodi/XBMC installation connected to the wireless network. Its IP-address can be set manually, or zero-conf can be used to automatically find Kodi/XBMC in the network. Officially supported are XBMC 12 and 13 (Frodo and Gotham) and Kodi 14-19 (Helix, Isengard, Jarvis, Krypton, Leia, and Matrix).
---------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for using the app - we hope it makes your Kodi/XBMC music listening experience really enjoyable.

LewnWorx,
Beyond slick.
After spending 2 weekends getting all my cd’s ripped to my NAS server, the final step was to add the NAS share to Kodi. I discovered this app while looking for info on how to set up lyrics, and was blown away. This beats the crap out of navigating my immense music library using the remote for my firetv cube that I have my Kodi install on. It’s very well thought out, and pretty simple to set up.
The feature set is deep and thus far it seems pretty solid. It even has a shortcuts feature to switch between multiple Kodi servers (and we have two of them). Very impressed!

King Kamehameha,
I wish I knew about this app sooner
Totally improved my listening experience.
I just happened to bump into the pro version after using the free version for years.

Kubisuro,
Just the music!
XMBC/Kodi tries to do it all, muddling the interface. This app focuses on the music. Love the cached library, ease of queuing, but most of all the widget for super quick control of Kodi. Two suggestions (sorry :-) first: tap & hold an album etc to get an add to queue shortcut, second: shuffle albums (tracks in albums are in order). The iPad app really shines with a view of whatever I want. Like a list of Albums and then Artists all at the same time. Usually I can't make up my mind and go back and forth. No more. Also pretty nice artist info feature-- can read about artists from multiple sources
DJMacDaddy,
In love with an app..
This app was made with absolute love, you can tell. Markus has tamed my huge music library with this app. Unlike ever before, I can now play my favorite music and even music I haven't plaid in years SIMPLY because it's finally so accessible! Some of the best money I have spent in all my years on the App Store.
2 requests:
1. User changeable background within the app.
2. Karaoke. Please consider letting us control our karaoke libraries as well. I understand that 16.x doesn't support karaoke, but many of us are still on 15.x simply because we love our karaoke too much to upgrade.
Thanks a ton, Markus!

ThE aWeSomMe OnE,
Worth every penny
Good layout. Simple yet does everything. I only wish that in the future, the background color can be changed.
dr. simple,
Fantastic music-only Kodi remote
This app does everything I want it to for playing music in Kodi. One wish: that it would ignore "the" in artist names so, for example, The Beatles aren't sorted after Steely Dan.
bobsilver1,
Finally a Kodi remote just for music!
Update for 4.4. November 19 2016
Marcus continues to enhance his app adding improvements to the functionality and user interface. This app provides an incredible user experience with Kodi as a music player. For those new to it Kodi is an outstanding music player playing all formats and HD resolutions. Kodi Music Remote provides the best access to a music collection that is unsurpassed by any music app I have seen. Marcus is a dream developer. Taking user feedback and consistently building feature requests in the app. My favorite is a shortcut function added so I can control the server easily without going into the settings. And now allows an easy switch from server to server.
I can't stress enough the outstanding combination Kodi and the Kodi Music Remote make for a music playback system. Just the best!
Update 4.0. July 1 2015
This update adds terrific new functionality that Marcus received from users. His attention to detail and user wants is the best. This app is near perfect. This makes for an outstanding music client better then anything else.
10 Stars!

Original Review version 2.xxx
I use XBMC as a client on my hifi. Laptop connected via USB to a DAC to play hires music. Controlling this in a nice way without all the other xbmc aspects interfering with my experience was a desire of mine. Found this remote and was just what I wanted. Started with the free version but them immediately bought the Pro. For $1.99 was worth it just to support the developer. Plus it's totally worth it.
Developer seems responsive from what I can tell adding features and bug fixes. No problems here. Set up easy and fast. Works perfectly. The Pro version has one feature that for me makes it worth the price. The ability to initiate a library scan. I use a NAS for my music and often update it. This way right from the remote I can do this. Great.
I had used itunes remote with iTunes. But iTunes doesn't play flac files. Xbmc plays everything. Very happy. If you want a music remote get this.
To the developer. Not crazy about the colors you use. Be great if they could be changed. Also if I could do an album view that be nice. Right now it appears artist and genre on pro are my choices.
But thanks and great job.
