Music Library Tracker Media Kit

This page hopefully contains all of the details you may need for writing an article about Music Library Tracker. If you'd prefer a single file with all of this information, you can download my media kit in a zip file (7.6MB)

Overview

Music Library Tracker keeps an eye on your music library and monitors additions, deletions, and any changes to your songs. With streaming becoming more popular, it is very easy for song metadata to change or for songs to disappear as licensing deals expire; with Music Library Tracker, you will always know when something in your library changes whether it was by you, a family member, or your streaming service.

Features

• Automatic monitoring of the music library on your iPhone or iPad (including iCloud Music Library if enabled on your device). Everything is stored locally so you can see a full history of your library changes from the date you install the app onwards. Every change is visible on a granular level so you can see exactly what was altered be it title, artist, album, genre, or rating.
• You can enable an optional summary notification in the app settings - this will send you a push notification in the morning if any changes were detected in your library on the previous day.
• 3D Touch support with a quick action for scanning your library and peek and pop gestures throughout.
• Automation via x-callback-url allowing you to see changes to your library in the Shortcuts app or with Siri.

Privacy

Music Library Tracker contains no in-app purchases and does not require an internet connection; I believe in your privacy so none of your library data ever leaves your device. This is covered in more detail at https://dodoapps.io/music-tracker/privacy/

Music Library Tracker is compatible with iOS 10.0 and greater on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and iPad Pro. UI is optimised for all screen sizes and split-screen orientations including the newer iPhone X style devices.
