About

MusicCovered is a macOS app built for people who love their music library. It brings listening and browsing together, with albums, cover art, tracklists, and metadata at the heart of the experience.

MusicCovered takes an album-first approach, designed for listeners who organize their collection with care and enjoy choosing music through its artwork. Immersive, visual browsing makes it easy to revisit favorite records and rediscover albums you haven't played in a while.

A signature part of the experience is the choice of 20 CoverFlow variants, alongside CoverGrid and Album List. Each offers a different way to explore artists and albums, giving your library the character of a personal collection you can browse at your own pace.

The details matter, too: large album covers, spinning vinyl and CDs, rich track information, lyrics, and booklet pages when available. Together with high-quality audio playback, fast search, and metadata tools, they create a complete environment for enjoying and managing your music.

Take your music further with MusicCovered Mobile: the iPhone and iPad apps are independent audio players and can also control MusicCovered on Mac. Connect your Plex music library, explore radio stations from around the world, or enjoy your collection on Apple TV, with the Mac app providing access to your library.

MusicCovered is available on the Mac App Store.
