“…a powerful music utility that is perfect for getting reacquainted with your favorite tunes.” — John Voorhees, MacStories.net
”…undeniably one of the most powerful and accessible general-purpose players available today.” — Marc Barrowclift, barrowclift.me

Featured in Macworld, MacStories, and Mac & i magazine, Picky is for people particular about their music, giving you full control over how you browse and listen to your albums and songs.

‣ Picky keeps your Artists and Albums lists uncluttered by hiding those with only a few songs – simply adjust the filters to taste.

‣ Queue up tracks to play later: simply swipe to the left on a song until the ‘+’ icon appears and turns solid orange, then let go to queue it.

‣ Use Picklists to quickly play (or queue) groups of songs – like playing an album without its bonus tracks.

‣ Easily sort the main Albums list and artists’ album lists with just a couple taps: by title, release date, duration, or by date added to your library.

‣ Picky lets you easily filter your Songs and Albums lists by genre (or by multiple genres). You can do things like quickly put together a mix by opening the filter, tapping on a few genres, and then closing it and tapping Shuffle.

‣ You can use the Artists and Songs filters to keep singles and one-hit-wonders tucked away, or bring them into focus when you really want to listen to them.

‣ Picky intelligently combines both grouping by artist and by album artist, so youll always find your songs where you expect them to be. But if you prefer just one of the groupings, you can easily change that with a setting.

‣ Quickly see the list of your currently playing songs by simply swiping up in the Now Playing view.

‣ Quickly search across your entire music library with just a few taps.

‣ Picky is designed for iOS 15 and supports widgets, Dark Mode, Split View, AirPlay 2, iPad trackpads, Context Menus, VoiceOver, headphone remotes, iTunes Match, and Apple Music that has been added to your collection. You can use Picky exclusively or seamlessly switch between it and the system Music app.

Picky: for listeners with refined taste.

Indispensable !

Depuis iOS 7, je suis très déçu du classement dans lapplication Musique: Impossible davoir la liste des albums par genre ou par compositeur. Heureusement, cette App est là !

Gut, aber zu fehlerhaft

An sich gute App, die wie die frühere Musik-App (vor iOS7) von Apple war und sich auf lokal gespeicherte Musik und nicht irgendwelchen Cloudkrempel fokussiert. Es gibt auch wirklich praktische Features wie Albenfilter, die nur Alben mit z.B. mehr als zwei Liedern anzeigen. Leider wieder ziemlich fehlerhaft, der Entwickler scheint die Releases nie richtig durchzutesten. Wenn der Wiederholen-Modus z.B. auf "Repeat Song" steht, funktioniert einiges nicht richtig, bei Playlists wird immer nur der erste Song gespielt, egal welches Lied man antippt. Das ist auch immer reproduzierbar, sprich, wurde nicht getestet. Das ist seit mehreren Versionen so und auf Hinweise dazu reagiert der Entwickler nicht.

Genau das, was ich gesucht habe

Ich nutze diese App in Verbindung mit Apple Music. Sie löst das Problem der Apple Music App, dass ich bei der Zusammenstellung von Playlists alle Titel nochmals zusätzlich als Album angezeigt bekomme. Erst nach dem Einsatz der Picky-App ist wieder Ordnung in den Alben. Ich habe einfach einen Filter auf die Alben gelegt (z.B. "Erst als Album interpretieren, wenn mindestens 4 Titel vorhanden sind"). Bestens!! Genau so muss es funktionieren!

Guter Player - mit Einschränkungen

Picky ist grundsätzlich eine gute Musik-App und gerade die Filtermöglichkeiten sind eine feine Sache, die ich so sonst nirgends kenne. Leider versprüht die App bisweilen allerdings den Charme eines Hobby-Projekts: Teilweise vergehen mehrere Sekunden, in denen Picky die Mediathek laden muss. Das Design ist zweckmäßig, aufgeräumt und übersichtlich, es fehlt aber ein Feinschliff – insbesondere der Dark Mode gefällt mir daher z.B. überhaupt nicht. Mir fehlen darüber hinaus Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, etwa um nicht per Swipe zwischen Titeln zu wechseln.

Use this App, and make a difference

I very rarely write reviews. A product has to be a real stand out to spend this amount of time. But this is important. As quickly as possible I will tell you why this App is breed then the pre-installed iTunes "App". Picky is like the older iTunes App. Its good! It does the job. iTunes is terrible. It reroutes users to their store. They monopolize, manipulate and waste so much of a users precious time trying to get you to buy more music. Because they make money off of it. The worst thing for any customer, is to have their product tied to the machine that uses the product with no limitations. It creates bias, and complications when it comes to servicing the customer they PAYED already for both services/items. I have been an Apple user and fan for 10 years now. But those days are over. They used to be the good guys, the underdogs, and PCs dominated. Now that they have so much power, they abuse it and dont listen to their followers. The people who buy their products. They are just a large corporate pig now. And the amount of money theyve cost me is sickening. I would recommend staying far away from Apple, as they are only getting worse by the minute. Unfortunately its too late for me. I learned on a Mac. I have tried to switch but have been unable. And they abuse the power they have over their customers. Its pretty disgusting frankly. iTunes sucks. Take it off your Dock on your phone and replace it with this App, or any others that are well reviewed. (This helps, because then you dont hit iTunes by habit and you can used to an App that actual works, and doesnt send you to their store FOR NO REASON!) Ugh, they are just the worst now

Most enjoyable application of the musical variety

I was wandering about, wondering how I could organize my vast array of music in a comprehensive fashion, when alas! I happened upon this application and it proved to be the most wondrous way to listen to my collection of music. Henceforth I shall only use this application. Cheerio!

Excellent! A must have!

This is an excellent music app, its what Apples offering should be, but is not. Highly recommended, grab a copy, you wont be disappointed.
