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

Audio pop and crackles Just got a new pixel. Has Android 14. Maybe it's not fully compatable with this version yet. When playing audio, streaming or downloaded to device, there are clear audible pops and crackles. Sounds almost like a record being played. I'm guessing it's a buffering issue and you are hearing slight delays when playing. Updated: this app sux. Constant buffering every 10-15 seconds. Audio pauses for a split second. Fix this please!

This app is garbage. It is easily the worst app I use, and only because I am forced to. You can't sort songs in your library, meaning albums are out of order. When you download songs to your phone you can't delete them. After an update some songs started having an audio ducking issue. It doesn't happen with any other media player on my phone or from other players with the media from that NAS. This app is brutal. Avoid at all costs

The player isn't bad once you get used to it. I don't understand why it downloads the music, when a browser version of DSM can stream. The real failure is the Chromecast, which can't be turned off once selected. DS Audio treats it like a channel, so if you switch back to your mobile device for output, Chromecast keeps playing (and will have a different playlist). Need to be able to turn off casting.
