Ratings and reviews

Finally found an app to play the music from video games of old! Had to search for chip tunes.. App is great even has a cool simple visualizer. It doesn't read all of the files the same though. Nintendo files can be read one after another while Genesis files need to be accessed one at a time, going into one file, backing out, then going into another.. First World Problems! 😅 I'm grateful for this app and Your hard work and I look forward to the future of this app. 🙏♾️

It's a godsend for video game music fans but it desperately needs some additions to make it more usable. The biggest one is folders, i often download a lot of songs and it can make the app almost unusable, since the navigation bar on the right completely disappears and then you have to scroll ALL the way down to find a song thats down on the list. I would use this app way more but it's so painful having to do that :(

By far the best app I've seen for playing chiptunes and game music! Lots of features and handles practically everything. It being FOSS is a big plus too! I'd like the ability to edit the representation of the metadata - the metadata seems to only send the song name (not the game it's from) to Last.fm. I'm not sure whether that's a request for this app or their app, though.
