Doppler For Mac

With most people switching to music streaming, classic audio players are becoming a thing of the past. However, many still prefer to buy individual albums, for various reasons. In that case, Apple Music isn't the best option, as it is specially designed for Apple's music streaming service.

Doppler is a nice alternative for people who need a way to play local files. The iOS version has been out for a while, but the macOS app has only just been released. It's still rather basic, but it is sleek and easy to use, mirroring the design of Apple's music player.

Doppler is meant to simplify the way you handle your music offline. It supports all popular formats, so you can just load all your files and start playing. They are organized by album and artist automatically, and you can create playlists and dynamically manage your listening queue.

There are ways to organize your music as well. You can merge multiple albums into one, edit metadata, and search for album art if it is missing. The latter feature was a bit hit-and-miss for me, as I couldn't find albums for quite a few of the imported albums.

Unsurprisingly, an iOS app is also available. While synchronization isn't automatic, since Doppler is a local music player, you can transfer songs to your iPhone directly from the player or using the Doppler Transfer app.

With these features, you can get around one of the limitations of offline players — namely that you can't easily synchronize content across desktop and mobile devices.

As far as the Mac app is concerned, it is functional and easy to use. It looks almost exactly like Apple's music player, thankfully without the annoying subscription banner.

Other than that, there aren't any interesting features worth mentioning. You get what you would expect from any audio player, and that's all. If that's what you're looking for, Doppler is a great choice.
