WALTR Reviews

The Best iPhone Transfer & Manager Software for 2022
The great thing about WALTR PRO is that you can use it to send any audio or video file, no matter the format, to an iOS device. Even during the days of iTunes, many fans of this software’s predecessor, WALTR 2, recommended the software simply because it allowed users to bypass iTunes altogether. The new version also makes it possible to copy a video or album without the need...
Top 5 iMazing Alternatives
Designed and developed by Softorino, WALTR PRO is an all-in-one converter and transfer tool that lets you send just about anything to your iOS devices in one click without iTunes.

Roon (Music Player) Reviews

The 7 Best Windows Music Players for Hi-Res Audio
While most examples of hi-res music player software focus on sound quality alone, Roon focuses on something else. The developers say that something has been lost in the transition to digital music.

  • A bit of a strange request
    Hey man, give WALTR a shot. It's accessible, for Windows at least. Https://softorino.com/waltr/ The new way of dragging and dropping ringtones to your phone via Finder on Mac doesn't really work if you can't use a mouse, so I like this program. It is free for what you need it for, but after you've transfered a certain amount of files you will have to pay up. You should be fine. Let me know if you have questions. Source: 11 months ago
  • How do I get a song that has been ripped from a CD, into Music (on a Macbook Pro), onto my iPhone?
    I can only recommend Waltr Pro by Softorino. https://softorino.com/waltr/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Are there any good video downloader apps on iphone that can download videos from sites?
    If you use the desktop version to convert video you can also use Waltr to wirelessly transfer it (or any file) to an iPhone or iPad. Source: about 2 years ago

  • What do you guys use to play music on the go?
    I also use Roon, which is a little complicated to describe here. Basically I have my own home server with music on, and then I can use the Roon ARC app to access it on the go, similar to above (and is similar to PlexAmp mentioned elsewhere here). Source: 10 months ago
  • Better sound than AppleTV 4K driving KEF LS50Ws?
    You might want to give roon or audirvana a try. Source: 11 months ago
  • Just bought a house with multi room speakers. Help?
    You may also want to look into Room depending how far down the rabbit hole you want to go https://roonlabs.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks
    Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • iOS 16.3 Code Reveals Apple Continues to Work on Classical Music App
    Take a look at Roon. It's pricing and mobile limitations are disqualifications for me, but it's tagging is simply phenomenal. Source: over 1 year ago
