About Hi-Fi Cast

Hi-Fi Cast is a music player that emphazises ease of use, reliable playback and audio quality. Hi-Fi Cast is specifically designed for Chromecast devices and will play music stored on a UPnP/DLNA server or your Android phone/tablet (and of course it can play music via your Android device speaker too!).

Key Features:
• The only app in the Play Store to feature gapless playback of MP3, AAC, FLAC and WAV files when playing to Chromecast devices (enable this feature via Settings > Playback)*
• Plays music stored on a DLNA/UPnP media server or your android device.
• Shuffle entire library and/or any combination of albums, artists, genres etc regardless of the size of your music library (when using DLNA/UPnP, requires a server that supports searching - most do).
• Easy to use and family friendly. Hi-Fi Cast will automatically re-connect to your selected media server and Chromecast device.
• Super simple and clean user interface.

UPnP/DLNA Features:
• Fast and efficient searching of your music collection regardless of size. Search for Albums, Artists and Songs (requires your UPnP/DLNA server to support searching).
• Designed for the largest (and smallest) music collections. Effortlessly scroll though thousands of albums, artists or songs at a time. Limited only by the capabilities of your UPnP/DLNA media server.
• Full shuffling capabilities (for UPnP/DLNA servers that support searching)
• Create local playlists
• Access your album booklets from within the app when using Minimserver as your Media Server.

Chromecast Gapless Information*
• Gapless playback via Chromecast Audio and 'New' Chromecast devices is limited to WAV and FLAC files up to 24bit/96kHz and gapless compatible MP3 and AAC files. Gapless playback via the 'Original' Chromecast is limited to 16bit WAV and FLAC files and gapless compatible MP3 and AAC files.
• Gapless playback to grouped Chromecast Audio devices is not currently supported.

In-App Purchase
• Hi-Fi Cast will prompt you to upgrade to the premium version from time to time. If you decide to upgrade via the in-app purchase, your music listening will be entirely ad and interruption free.

For playing music to a Chromecast Audio, this is the best option out there. The user interface is very nice, gapless playback is great, and the UPnP support is excellent. I'm using Hi-Fi Cast together with MinimServer, and it just doesn't get any better than this!

So rad!! I have a NAD C 338 Integrated Amp and this allows me to play gapless playback to it's Chromecast AND UPnP client. Allows me to play music from my NAS server as well. Perfect supplemental app to the NAD Remote app.

Fantastic to have gapless playback on chromecast of files from Android devices and media servers. The app is simple to use and fast. Would be good to have ogg gapless but it's not a deal breaker

O70%

Looks nice, but couple of questions: * Can I scroll with alphabet instead of %? * Can I disable/change the image in tv when casting? * Can I have arist icons with their albums? Thx :)

Really love the app...But...I wish this had a "next" or "previous" on my home screen so I don't have to keep on opening my phone to go to the next song. Otherwise great job and keep 'em coming!!

I have paid for this app now and it keeps crashing. Would be the best but unusable at the moment please fix.

Great app. Simple and straightforward to use. Gapless playback! Streams hi-res files to Chromecast. Giving 4 stars to allow room for improvement. I would like to see a 50 step Chromecast volume control like BubbleUPnP.

Seems stable at the moment, great for casting 24bit audio to my Sonos system. Last.FM Support now added.

Fantastic app! Fantastic Support as well, they helped me isolate and resolve an issue I was having. Been smooth sailing every since.

Love it. Just needs last.fm support and I will buy it. Well done to developer anyway for this app

S70%
by S####:

Great app. Only problem is that it does not recognize the playlists that I have already set up on my s7. Looks like you have to set up all new play lists... That's a pain. Let me know if there is a solution.

X70%

Hi there Dev, it works a charm.. but I am using single FLAC formatted files (16bit/44.1khz) with embedded CUE sheets for my albums stored on my network server and unfortunately it doesn't recognise individual tracks on selection and always plays the first track of an album, although the track title shows true on both the app and on my Chromecast TV. In other words if I select for example track 6 (Hallelujah) on Jeff Buckley's 'Grace' album then Hi-Fi Cast shows the track title as Hallelujah but actually plays track 1 (Mojo Pin). If you could fix this would be real nice as I'd buy it. Thanks

Wouldn't play music from my tablet. Looks just like the ES File Explorer Chromecast player, which works. Uninstalled.

Casts beautifully onto my new Chromecast audio thank you so much

P70%
by P####:

It needs some work. It frequently falls out of sync of what's being played and what the screen shows, it also stops playing after awhile, I can never play a full album without issues. This happens with both my Nexus 7 with Marshmallow or with my LG V20 with Nougat. I have the paid version. [Just sent system info from my V20 if that helps] Thanks.

A70%
by A####:

Works really well to stream music from my NAS to Chromecast. The best one of all that I have tried. Developer is very quick to respond if you have a problem.

D70%
by D####:

Certainly the best app of its kind, driven by a developer who is keen to help resolve issues that crop up. If you love music you need this app.

X70%
by X####:

Unbelievable fantastic, part of me thought real gapless with Chromecast would never happen. Streaming flac via minim from Synology. Great intuitive app a bargain at 1.79 . I don't normally review but I owe these guys morally to do so. 5*

Would be perfect if it included Tidal integration like BubbleUPnP does.

Great

N70%
by N####:

If only it would transcode ALAC/M4A to FLAC so my lossless iTunes files would play. I'm using a Plex server that converts on the fly (via an xml file on the server), could HiFi Cast do this?

Would have to be the best app on Google play store Absolutely fantastic.

Easily the best app for the Chromecast Audio. Gapless playback works brilliantly!

D70%
by D####:

This app is great. Connects automatically to the chromecast. After issues with album art on my note4 the support fixed this immediately at the next release. Thanks a mill!

Keep on having my Seagate NAS showing frequently offline for over quite a long time time keeping the app up to date. Clearing the cache does not work. Both my Seagate NAS and Horizon Box are offline. Seems when clicking the app gear icon for server settings wakes up the devices after a while. Takes 5 minutes to get it online again. Very annoying.

by D####:

This is the holy grail. I'll forgive most glitches if I find them but true gapless to a Chromescast Audio is priceless. Now listening to Pink Floyd - The Wall as it should be listened to! How the h*ll did you manage this when so many say it can't be done and the Chromecast Audio is not capable of it. First request I get to pay for this app and I'll be doing so. Also, joined the Beta program so looking forward to that.

How do I pay for it? Also I assume that is the reason I can't see all of my music files? Cheers Ian

If you want a playback solution from a local music server to chromecast you'd be hard pressed to find a more elegant solution. It does 24bit/96khz and gapless. Quite happy with it.
