Panamp is an interesting audio player for you music library. They face some steep competition in that the music player from Apple does a pretty good job as it is and has the advantage of being native.

However saying that Panamp offers some interesting features that make a refreshing change from the usual way of managing your music and playlists.

One of the best features is the ability to create dynamic playlists or ‘Queues’ of tracks you choose with a swipe. This feels incredibly intuitive in use.

A swipe in the opposite direction will find all songs by that artist, their tracks and related albums.

The bottom bar displays the current playing song with scrobbler below and various shuffle options. Tapping the song will take you to it in the library view. Swiping to the left will start the next song and swiping to the right will play the previous song.

It has all the usual layout views you would expect from a robust music player from displaying all songs to albums which can be expanded with a touch as well as artists which again will expand to show their albums and again to show all songs within the selected album.

There is also an included demo which is well worth viewing to get to grips with all the features and to make the most out of Panamp.

They have even included support for iCloud, Airplay and control via the remote headset and it just works with your current music library there’s no need to add songs or import anything just sync as normal with iTunes.

Overview: Panamp offers an innovative way to seamlessly interact with your music. Highly reccomended for not just audiophiles but anyone who wants fast access to their music without sacrificing control.
