App Profile: Stezza: Simple Music Player

Album art wasn’t showing up, I think the issue was if stock music app was open it for some reason does not allow the album art file to be accessed in Stezza. My only beef now is that unless I’m blind, I cannot find a search function, which is horrible when you have hundreds of artists and over 8000 tracks. Help me lol.

I am desperately looking for an app that allows me to quickly and easily and safely move through my very large and diverse (10,000+) music library via CarPlay. I have yet to find an app capable of doing this, and picking this app was a wild stab, based on a Cult of Mac review, but I’m afraid I wasted my $2.99. To boot this app does not have all of the sorting/filing the options that Apple‘s built-in music player app does (as basic as they are in that app). Further, there are some. On-intuitive UI features, e.g., navigating to library options. It’s not clear whom this app is geared toward, but I know that I am a bit of an rarity who does not do streaming and has all his (uncompressed) music on his phone. :-). What I’d really like is something like a Pandora for my own library!

Like Apple products, Stezza shines in its simplicity. Large album artwork and controls that are perfect for driving, exercising etc. The artwork can take a minute to load initially but once it's in the players cache it's like magic. One trick is to go back one song for a song that doesn't load artwork. I can't wait for future updates. Keep up the great work Team Stezza!
