A player for the way
you listen.

Choose where your music comes from

Use local files without an account, or connect Navidrome, Subsonic, OpenSubsonic, and Jellyfin. Save several accounts, switch between them, or merge sources into one library.

Organize it your way

Browse albums, artists, songs, playlists, and folders. Create playlists, import or export M3U files, or set rules for playlists that update themselves. Download music for offline listening.

A built-in tag editor

Fix the details that make a library easier to browse. Edit supported local files directly, or update server metadata where your account has permission.

• Title, artist, album and album artist.
• Genre, year and track number.
• Look up matching metadata and artwork before applying changes.

Give every artist their credit

Choose which characters or words separate artist names. Collaborations appear under each artist, while the complete credit stays on the track. These library rules leave the original file tags unchanged.

Find duplicates and missing details

Find likely duplicates using similar artist names and track titles. Look up missing track information, or use audio identification with your own AcoustID key.

Find more music in your own library

Analyze your tracks for Sonic radio and Auto DJ. Find related music by its sound, including tempo, energy and harmony, rather than relying only on artist names or genres.

Beyond your collection

Browse podcasts and internet radio, or add a radio stream yourself. Green Music App support reads your library and plays matching audio from YouTube. It requires your own app client ID.

An equalizer with room to grow

Each rack equalizer supports up to 64 adjustable bands. Set frequency, boost or cut, and width for each band. Use separate corrections for the left and right channels, with a graph showing the combined result.

Start simple, or bring your own EQ

Use a 10-, 15- or 31-band graphic equalizer for quick adjustments. Start with an AutoEq headphone profile, or import supported Equalizer APO text, AutoEq PEQ JSON and Aurora EQ files.

Build your effects chain

Arrange up to 16 stages and 256 equalizer bands in total. Reorder, duplicate, bypass, or blend effects with the original sound. Split audio into separate paths and mix them together. Save groups of effects to reuse.

Leave room for your adjustments

Automatic headroom lowers the input level when your effects boost the signal. Adjust the preamp yourself, use sample-peak limiting, and check levels before and after processing in Signal Path.

Tune from measurements

Import REW or Squig measurements and choose a target curve. Aurora generates corrections within your limits for boosts, cuts, and band count. Adjust bass and overall brightness, then compare the measured and predicted response. Left and right measurements can be fitted separately.

Control more than tone

Adjust channel volume and timing, balance, stereo width, and crossfeed. Add equalizer bands that respond to loud passages, control dynamics across frequency ranges, or add saturation. Loudness compensation adjusts the tone as listening volume changes.

Tame sharp sounds and quiet noise

A de-esser softens sharp “s” sounds. A gate quiets audio below a chosen level, while an expander makes quiet passages quieter. Adjust how quickly each effect responds.

Add warmth, space and movement

Choose tape or tube character, add bass harmonics, or brighten the sound. Use delay and reverb for echo and space, or chorus, flanger and phaser for movement.

• Ping-pong delay alternates echoes between channels.
• Tremolo varies volume; vibrato varies pitch.

Bring your own correction files

Import impulse responses: files that describe a sound adjustment. Trim them, adjust their level, and use several in a chain. Save edited versions separately and export complete sound setups with their correction files included.

Save a setup for every output

Start with headphone, earbud, or speaker presets. Assign your saved setups to outputs, tracks, or sources. Automatic rules can switch them for you; a manual override keeps your current choice.

Hear and see the difference

Compare two presets on the same short passage at matched volume. Run a blind ABX test to check what you can hear. Signal Path shows active effects, before-and-after levels, frequency graphs, and the output format.

Choose how audio is converted

Follow the track’s sample rate, choose a fixed rate, or set a compatible maximum. For processed integer output, choose Off, TPDF or noise-shaped dither. Noise shaping moves conversion noise toward higher frequencies; it does not add detail to the recording.

Estimate your listening level

Enter headphone sensitivity and measured DAC and volume data to estimate sound level. Aurora shows the uncertainty and leaves uncalibrated outputs unavailable. Optional level history stays on your device.

The controls you expect

Gapless playback, crossfade, repeat, shuffle, and an editable queue saved per account. Read lyrics, change speed and pitch, skip silence, and level the volume between tracks.

Mix, then make it your own

Mix builds automatic transitions between tracks. Open Mix Studio to adjust them. Optional vocal and backing-track separation runs on your phone after a one-time model download.

Fit music around your day

Set a sleep timer or wake up to a music alarm. Use Android Auto, lock-screen controls, the home-screen widget, or a Quick Settings button to control playback.

Keep tracks at a comfortable volume

Use ReplayGain and volume leveling to reduce jumps between tracks. Adjust speed and pitch for the way you listen, or skip silent passages on supported playback routes.

USB audio

Connect a USB DAC, such as a headphone dongle. Direct mode bypasses Aurora’s effects and software volume. Processed mode keeps both active. Choose whether playback pauses or falls back to Android when USB is unavailable.

• Restart Aurora after changing USB settings.
• Processed USB disables crossfade, speed and pitch changes, and silence skipping.
• DSF and DFF files are converted to PCM; unchanged DSD output is not supported.

Play DSF and DFF files

Play uncompressed DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 and DSD512 files through conversion to PCM. Track information and seeking are supported. Native DSD, DoP, DSD1024, DST-compressed DFF and SACD ISO playback are not available yet.

• DSD files cannot currently be sent through network output.

Cast and DLNA

Send audio to Chromecast or a compatible DLNA receiver. Direct Cast sends the original file. Processed output applies your effects first. Tracks need preparation time; gapless transitions, crossfade, speed changes, and silence skipping are unavailable when sending audio.

Another Aurora device

Enable remote control on the receiving device, then pair with its address and code. Aurora copies up to 100 tracks and 512 MB before playback, so the receiver can continue if the controller goes offline. It uses its own sound settings and output. Revoke paired access whenever you want.

Choose the look

Switch between light, dark, and pure black modes. Choose different interface styles, set custom colors, and pick a visualizer. Retro, Aero, and Glass change the controls and surfaces as well as the palette.

Your local profile

Set a display name, avatar, and banner for your local library. View your listening history and statistics for tracks, albums, and artists.

Listening history and sharing

Connect Last.fm or ListenBrainz to record your listens. Scrobbles use the first artist from your separator rules. Share your now-playing status on Discord, or add an AcoustID key to identify tracks from their audio.

Take your setup with you

Back up settings, local playlists, likes, history, your local profile, and saved sound setups in one file. Music files and downloads are not included.

Add extensions when you need them

Enable compatible extension apps for sound presets, read-only music libraries and tag suggestions. You choose when to load a preset, switch libraries or apply suggested changes.
