Fidelia (Mac player) now browses MinimServer libraries directly

Apologies for the slow reply, RSJ. Fidelia runs on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and there's no Windows version planned.

A few things have changed since my first post here that MinimServer users may care about:

• Fidelia for iPhone and iPad came out in September. It browses MinimServer the same way the Mac app does, and plays to the phone, a USB DAC or a UPnP renderer.
• Edits to the playing playlist, and Play Next, reach a bit-perfect renderer straight away. If a renderer goes quiet after a network hiccup, Fidelia gives it the music again or stops and says why.
• A server that comes back at a new address, say a NAS on DHCP after a reboot, is found again. Seeking in a track from the server stays silent until it lands, instead of playing on from the old spot.
• Fidelia shows what's already playing on a renderer, whether from Fidelia on another device or from another UPnP app, and can take it over.

Browsing a server is still free; playing from it is part of the one-time Network & Server unlock, with a 14-day trial. Reports on how it handles your tags are very welcome.

Cheers,
Patrick
