Aux – Music app for your NAS

Aux is a music player for your Synology NAS. The Aux app works with Audio Station running on your NAS to stream or download any audio file compatible with iOS, including lossless and high resolution audio formats — MP4 / AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, FLAC, WAV, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Atmos spatial audio. Aux is a fast, ad-free, and feature-rich app that connects directly to your NAS. Since Aux uses no servers of its own, your username, password, and all other data are exchanged securely and directly with your NAS. If you've chosen not to expose your NAS directly to the internet, Aux also works with Synology's own QuickConnect service to relay the connection through Synology's secure servers.
