About iSub Music Streamer

You love your music. In fact, you have the biggest collection of albums and individual songs of anyone you know and you listen to your playlists as often and for as long as you possibly can. Now, thanks to iSub Music Streamer, you’re enjoying your favorite songs everywhere you go, even at work or on a long plane ride.

iSub is an incredible app that lets you stream all of that music—even your concert recordings, DJ mixes, and audio books—from your home computer directly to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad over WiFi and mobile data.

iSub streams your music from any Subsonic compatible server (Subsonic, Airsonic, Madsonic, and others). There’s no central service to rely on and it's all your own music, so you never have to worry about songs randomly going missing when their licensing runs out like on some streaming services.

It doesn’t matter the size or file format of your collection; iSub can handle it all thanks to native support for popular lossless and lossy file formats like MP3, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, OGG, and OPUS. Save your limited mobile data when on the go thanks to Subsonic’s ability to transcode your songs to a lower bitrate as they play, and listen to your high-resolution lossless FLAC files when at home or on a WiFi connection.

iSub isn’t just about listening, either. You can easily search, browse, and edit your playlists right from you device, shuffle songs and albums, view your latest additions and far more! The current and next song caches automatically as you play, saving you money on your data plan. You can even cache whole albums over WiFi without having to play them, so you can be ready for that long plane ride.

Customize your music experience and make it just the way you want it. Don’t just get force fed music like some other apps. With iSub, you're in control of your music!

Check out the amazing features you get when you download iSub Music Streamer:

- Native support for MP3, AAC, FLAC, ALAC, OGG, and OPUS files!
- Gapless playback!
- Full parametric equalizer!
- Works over WiFi and cellular data
- Streams directly from your home computer to your device, no service to rely on
- Universal app: buy once and use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
- Skip within tracks while they stream even when transcoding

- Search your collection for albums, artists and songs from the Home tab
- Shuffle your whole collection with the press of a button
- Easily find your newest album additions

3.1.11
May 1, 2017
Long time no see! Hello again everyone, if you haven't been following the iSub Facebook page, the iSub 4 rewrite has been moving along nicely. However, some users reported battery drain issues with iSub 3 on iOS 10.3, so this update addresses that. There haven't been any bug fix releases in a while because the old project no longer built using the latest Xcode developer tools. Due to the severity of this battery issue, I spent a week getting the project whipped into shape and can now submit fixes again.

This update includes:
- Fixed crash when switching between Wifi/Cell connection
- Fixed tap and hold table cell to cache/queue songs
- Fixed network indicator never stops after song loads
- Fixed version label at the top of the settings page doesn't show version number

The previous update from Friday April 28th included:
- Fix for high CPU usage and fast battery drain on devices running iOS 10.3
- Fix for pull to refresh in small folders
- Fixed text gets cut off in EQ screen
- Re-enabled lyrics and cache status screens in the player
- Removed non-functional Twitter support

3.1.7
Dec 18, 2014
Quick note on the future of iSub:

As you all have likely noticed, there hasn’t been much development or communication over the past year. After taking a new full time job, I have no longer been able to continue developing iSub or providing direct support. And to be honest, I was completely burned out on the project after 4 years of non-stop work.

While I still can’t go back to full time development of iSub, going forward I’ll be making a better effort to release regular bug fix updates. Starting with this release, updates to iSub will no longer run on devices earlier than iOS 7, allowing me to refactor the project and remove tons of old legacy code.

This will make bug fixes much easier to do in a timely manner. Almost 97% of all app sessions are currently on iOS 7 and above, so this shouldn't affect most people. And you’ll always be able to download the last compatible release from the App Store, so it should continue to work on older devices.

So while I’ll no longer be making feature updates or providing direct support, what you can expect is for iSub to continue to work on your current and future devices for years to come. I want to make sure that iSub is usable for as many people as possible for the foreseeable future.

- Fixed crashes on launch for iPhone 6 Plus and iOS 8.1.1 users
- Fixed crash when hitting queue button on cell in play queue in player on iOS 7+
