It's always a hoot when new interesting-sounding features are completely undocumented
By Honolulu Howie (Pcmac user)
You get one star until you explain how custom track details works instead of just throwing it out there like it's going to immediately make sense.

Easy and effective
By Ron_i (Pcmac user)
It took about 10 minutes to set up. The app did not automatically detect my computer so I had to enter its IP address manually. Then it all worked. I found the streaming icon on the bottom right, pressed it, and it streams to my iPad Pro. I use flac and it sends up to 96 kHz to the iPad, which is the iPad's limit in any case. I connect to Chord Mojo dac/amp and to fine headphones and it all just works. I only needed to do the installation program on the computer side and it required no further configuration. So this is going to be a very heavily used app. Just what I was looking for.

Love it
By pianotunernj (Pcmac user)
I've been using Monketmote for about a year with foobar2000 and it's great. I can breeze through my 1.2 TB of music with the flick of a finger and control my source from anywhere within my wifi range! I would say this, if you're using foobar2000 on a computer and going out through HDMI into a modern receiver, add the WASAPI add on in foobar to bypass windows audio processing, it helps eliminate jitter and makes flac files sound every bit as good as the original disc. Also you can increase buffer size in foobar, that helps too. Enjoy!

Fantastic App
By gomper (Pcmac user)
I tried half a dozen other options before finding this one. Each of them either had issues making a network connection to my media PC, or couldn't seem to handle my 20,000+ song library when they occasionally did. This app instantly found my foobar server on the other hand, and loaded the whole library in just a few seconds.
The interface is also excellent. Polished, professional, and well laid out. Nice work, Mr. Tofall.
