Look into PlexAmp for lossless streaming. It’s pretty dope.

It’s called Music on the Mac, but it’s still basically iTunes. You might have it installed and not realize it.

Note, the syncing process happens in a Finder window.

Did you ever have an iPod? Do you remember how you had to have a library on the computer which then synced to your iPod? That’s how this works. Create a local library on a computer, and then sync that library Apple Music.

You do not.

Apples own Music app (without Apple Music subscription), VLC, PlexAmp…

It’s not hard if you look.

Edit, I’ve taken a look at what you’ve done and I quite like it. If my comment was snippy it’s because the question of easily playing mp3s is solved. But if the existing solutions don’t fit your niche workflow preference, like it sounds like it doesn’t, I love the idea of writing something that does.

One issue I have with ALL the local and streaming platforms (save for Apple Music Classical, ironically) is every one of them organizes in Artist>Album>Track, whereas classical music have different organizational needs. I wonder if local wave can be altered a bit to accommodate such organizational changes?

Honest question, what’s hard about playing an MP3 on any Apple device?
