Ready for the road
20, 30 or 60 minutes of verified complete tracks always on the iPhone, refilled while you listen. Tunnels and dead zones never cut the music from Emby.
Emby client for iOS
Emby on iPhone, made for the road
RoadSonic turns your Emby library into a music player that keeps playing in the car. Connect in a minute, let the iPhone index everything, and drive with a verified reserve of complete tracks.
Emby Server organizes music with rich metadata and per-user libraries. RoadSonic connects with your Emby username and password, kept only in the iOS Keychain, and syncs every music library you have access to.
Emby support is built on the official API and covered by protocol contract tests; a validation campaign on real Emby servers is still in progress. If something looks off with your server version, write to us: we add a test and tell you when it is fixed.
