What it does

Plays your files

Point it at your music folder. It reads your tags and artwork. Nothing gets uploaded.

Puts music on your phone

Your computer copies music to your iPhone or Android phone over your home Wi-Fi. You pick what goes on.

Streams the rest from your computer

Songs that aren't on your phone play from your computer while you're on the same network.

Same playlists everywhere

Playlists, favorites, and recently played match on every device, at home or away.

Your library

Edit tags

Fix titles, artists, albums, track numbers, genres, composers, and lyrics. One song at a time or a whole selection.

Saved to the files

Edits are written into the files' own tags, so other players see them too.

Set album art

Pick a cover for an album and every song on it uses it, on every device.

Fills in the gaps

After a scan it finds covers for albums that don't have one and photos for artists.

Playlist covers

Pick an image and MilkCrate sets the playlist's name over it.

Clean up

Remove songs, albums, or artists from your library. Keep the files or move them to the Trash.

How the beta works

Free

Anything that runs on your own devices
  • Playing your music on every device
  • Copying music to your phones
  • Syncing over your home network

This stays free after beta.

MilkCrate Cloud

Free during beta

Keeps playlists, favorites, and recently played in sync when you're away from home, and lets you pick up playback on another device. It runs on our server, which is why it costs money after beta.

After beta: 30 days free, then $14.99 a year. Beta users get a discount.

Coming soon: a wishlist for songs you hear elsewhere and want to own.

FAQ

Is MilkCrate free?

The apps are free, and so is everything that works without our server. MilkCrate Cloud is free during beta and paid after.

Why does MilkCrate Cloud cost money?

It runs on a server we pay for every month. Anything that doesn't need that server is free.

How do I get one of the 100 free spots?

Make an account, confirm your email, and sign in on any MilkCrate app. If spots are left when you do, one is yours.

What does "for life" mean?

As long as MilkCrate Cloud exists. One per person, and it can't be transferred. It's for syncing your own music, not for file storage. If Cloud ever shuts down, you'll get notice and a way to export your data.

What happens when beta ends?

If you have one of the 100 spots, nothing changes. Everyone else gets 30 days of Cloud free, then $14.99 a year.

What if I don't pay?

Everything that runs on your devices keeps working. Only Cloud stops.
