THE INTERFACE

A closer look inside Neirose.

Walk through the player, lyrics, library, and queue, captured from the app itself.

APPEARANCE
  1. 01Now Playing

    Everything about the song, at a glance.

    Artwork, a precise seek bar, and the format read from the file itself, with the current lyric line waiting underneath.

    1. Sample rate and bit depth
    2. The current lyric line
  2. 02Lyrics

    Lyrics that keep time.

    Lines follow the music and can be selected to seek. Neirose reads .lrc sidecars and embedded lyrics first, and only looks online if you opt in.

    1. Select a line to seek
  3. 03Library

    Playlists you arrange by hand.

    Create, rename, and reorder with a live drag. Drop a music folder on Neirose and it becomes a playlist; consistently tagged albums bring their own title and artwork.

  4. 04Library

    Grid or list, your call.

    Browse Playlists, Artists, Albums, and Folders as artwork or as rows. Each view remembers its own layout.

    1. Grid and list, per view
  5. 05Library

    An artist page worth opening.

    Quick picks give you a short route into an artist, with every release in your library gathered underneath.

    1. Quick picks
  6. 06Library

    Albums, one click from playing.

    Play an album straight through or add all of it to the queue. Consecutive tracks in the same format play back to back, without a gap.

    1. Play now, or queue it all
  7. 07Queue

    A queue that remembers.

    See what played, what’s on, and what’s next. Reorder with a drag, add files or whole folders, and pick up where you left off after a restart.
