Album Flow resurrects Cover Flow but is oddly clunky. The result is ugly but still broadly usable. The app is fast and responsive, and we liked its track-queuing system, from which you can save mixes.Įnqueue and Swinsian ape older versions of iTunes the former mimics a simplified iTunes 10 with Album List view and is fine, but Swinsian feels like someone described Apple's app to a dev in a hurry. Albums can be reordered alphabetically, chronologically or by popularity. Its album-centric view is reminiscent of iTunes 11's and is just as usable. Sonora feels like the app iTunes wants to be. Swinsian 1.7.1: 2/5 Test two: Ease of use Enqueue at least managed to import the majority of our test iTunes libraries, but even missing 10% of your music is 10% too much. Meanwhile, Enqueue and Sonora failed multiple times to import everything, often crashing while attempting to do so. Swinsian fared best, pulling in playlists and albums, but it missed a lot of cover artwork. The remaining three all rely on an import function, and all had problems. Album Flow ostensibly also has the right idea, in working directly with iTunes, but, bizarrely, it requires iTunes to be launched in order to access its music. However, there was variation in the way each app dealt with existing iTunes content.Įcoute and Fidelia get it right, directly accessing iTunes library files, the former also optionally enabling you to write metadata back to the library on quit. All apps on test except Album Flow and Ecoute can manage their own libraries of music, with Enqueue also providing the means to monitor specific folders.
