About this app

**You must own a Synology NAS to run this app, and be running the latest Audio Station 6.0.0 package to get the complete set of features**

DS audio allows you to stream music stored on your DiskStation with your Android device wherever an Internet connection is available. Better yet, with the offline mode you can listen to songs stored in the device’s local memory for when no network connection is available. You can browse music by albums, artists, folders or genres, create your own playlists or share them with your friends, and even rate your music! And if you have dedicated stereo speakers at home, DS audio can also become a remote control to stream music to them.

Ratings and reviews

This app still forgets where it is in my playlist when I use it with Android Auto. It also loses connection occasionally and I have to force quit or restart my phone to make it work again. This is dangerous because I'm driving while dealing with these issues. Please fix this app Synology. It's been almost a year since the last update, just ridiculous. I've switched to Plex now and it's pretty great. I'm not sure why I suffered for so long with this app.

Great idea with pretty poor execution. I love that I can store my music on my Synology and listen to it from anywhere. But using the app becomes a chore. The default settings were converting MP3 which takes a long time and took me a long time to figure out how to not do that. The app will also lock up when playing music. Got home from my walk and I couldn't stop the music. Pause didn't work, couldn't load the app back up to stop it. Had to force stop it. Could be amazing with more work.

The simplicity of this app is great. Works great on mobile connections when you're on the go. If you have a Synology and large digital music collection it's a convenient and fast way to access it from home or while mobile. Two nagging issues, though: 1) It takes an absurdly long time to log in, whether on LAN or mobile. 2) Many times tracks will skip on a regular basis - haven't timed it but 20-30 seconds perhaps. Hard to listen to music with that going on. Kind of a big issue!
