Auric
A music player for macOS, built for people who keep their own files.
Watch Folders
Point Auric at your music folders and it monitors them continuously. New files are detected and scanned automatically. Metadata is extracted from FLAC, ALAC, AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, and OGG without converting or modifying your originals.
Theming
Pick any color from the color wheel and the entire interface adapts. The theme color washes through glass surfaces while all dark elements derive from black transparency overlays, so every color works.
Smart Playlists
Build dynamic playlists with rules. Filter by artist, album, genre, year, play count, rating, duration, file size, sample rate, bit depth, or file path. The playlist updates as your library changes.
Last.fm
Scrobble every track automatically. Love and unlove from the player controls. Artist pages show full biographies, genre tags, and two tiers of recommendations: similar artists already in your library and artists you might like.
Visualizer
Real-time audio visualization powered by Metal shaders and vDSP FFT analysis. Spectrum bars and waveform modes. Beat detection drives pulse animations. The visualizer responds to your theme color.
Peer-to-Peer Radio
Host a radio station from your library. Friends connect directly using the app or any web browser. Four quality tiers from lossless PCM to AAC 96 kbps. The web player works on mobile with raw PCM streaming for universal browser compatibility.
AcoustID Fingerprinting
Identify unknown tracks using audio fingerprinting. Auric generates a chromaprint fingerprint and queries the AcoustID database to find the correct title, artist, and album. Run it on individual tracks or batch-process your entire library.
Album Art Fetching
Automatically find and embed missing album artwork. Queries multiple sources to match your tracks. Artwork is stored with the track metadata and displayed throughout the interface at every size.
