WANT MORE FEATURES?
Check out the Kodi/XBMC Music Remote Pro:
-> Albums/songs/compilations/folders/recent Items view, add-ons, radio, notification center widget, lyrics
local favorites, library caching, search, artist infos, filters, bigger covers, play queue edit, and much more!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the app for those who manage and play their music collection via the Kodi/XBMC media center. Unlike other remote control apps that cover the entire functionality of the media center, this app is solely focused on handling your music collection, specifically:
* Currently playing screen: Shows current track with cover and the current playlist
* Start, pause, seek and skip tracks quickly
* Control the volume
* Music library with artist - album - title hierarchy, quickly folded/unfolded in a nice accordion animation.
* Handle user-defined playlists, including quick access to the most valuable feature - shuffling through the playlist.
* The iPad app shows all information altogether in a clean user interface. No tedious navigating through menus.
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.
