Questions & answers

Quick answers about Trove Player, formats, NAS streaming and pricing.

What is Trove Player?

Trove Player is a native local music player for macOS and iOS. It plays audio files you own — including FLAC, ALAC, APE and DSD — from your device, or streamed from a WebDAV or SMB server such as a NAS, with gapless playback, a 10-band equalizer and word-by-word synced lyrics.

Trove Player is free to use. Advanced features are unlocked with a single one-time Pro purchase — there is no subscription and no recurring fee.

Which platforms does Trove Player support?

Trove Player runs natively on macOS 14 or later and iOS 17 or later. It is built with SwiftUI for both platforms, so it feels at home on the Mac desktop as well as on iPhone.

Which audio formats does Trove Player play?

Natively: MP3, AAC, ALAC (m4a), WAV, AIFF, CAF and FLAC. Through built-in extended decoding: APE, OGG, OPUS, WMA, DSD (DSF/DFF), WavPack, TTA and Musepack.

Can Trove stream music from my NAS or home server?
