the phone is never in the signal path

Whatever your library holds — FLAC, ALAC, WAV, DSD, 24-bit at whatever rate your player accepts — arrives exactly as it was stored. A control point cannot improve your sound, and this one is careful not to stand in its way.

built for libraries that outgrew one screen

Browse by album, artist, composer, genre, folder or year. Composer is a way in of its own rather than an afterthought, and folder view is there for libraries whose directory tree is the real index. Tens of thousands of tracks page in as you scroll.

it works with what you already have

Any UPnP/DLNA server and any UPnP or OpenHome renderer, not one brand's hardware. Where a device speaks OpenHome the queue lives on it, so playback survives the app being closed. Hegel amplifiers are controlled over their IP protocol; Cambridge StreamMagic players wake from standby when you press play.

nothing leaves your network

No account to create, no analytics, no advertising, no trackers. Sklad has no servers of its own. Station search is the only thing that reaches the internet, and it asks the community catalogue at radio-browser.info.

what you need

• A media server on your local network — MinimServer, Asset, a NAS with a DLNA server, or similar.
• A UPnP or OpenHome renderer to play to — a network streamer, or an amplifier with a network input.
• Sklad finds them by itself. Devices on awkward networks can be added by IP address.

The list grows as testers report back. If your device is missing, that does not mean it will not work — it means nobody has told us yet.
