NaviBeat Windows Version 1.0
A desktop music player for Navidrome, Airsonic, Gonic, or any OpenSubsonic server. Time-synced lyrics, a Mini Player that stays on top, downloads for offline, a 10-band equalizer, casting to the speakers on your network, and Rockbox sync. Use every feature free for five days. After that it's $9.99, once. No in-app purchases: one price covers everything, Library Doctor and NaviSyncRock included.
Rather not install anything? Get the portable zip, unpack it anywhere and run NaviBeat.exe.

The short answer
01 / On your desktop
A sidebar, keyboard control and directory browsing. The Mini Player can stay on top of whatever you're doing. On Windows 10 (1803 and later) and Windows 11 the sidebar is frosted glass, and your desktop shows through it, blurred.
02 / Audio
A 10-band equalizer. ReplayGain, so a shuffle across a mixed library stays at one loudness. Crossfade between tracks.
03 / Play it somewhere else
NaviBeat finds the UPnP and DLNA renderers on your network by itself, with no address to type: a network receiver, a streamer, a soundbar, a smart TV. Your queue goes with it.
04 / New: Library Doctor
Library Doctor reads your library and lists albums that split in two, duplicate imports, compilations that aren't marked as one, missing or doubled track numbers, missing covers and damaged tag text. Point it at the folder that holds your music and it fixes them in the files, after you review each change, and Write History can undo any of it.
05 / Rockbox iPod sync
Plug in a Rockbox iPod or player and send it a song, album, artist or playlist. Your own server does the transcoding, and NaviBeat copies the result across. See how it works.
06 / Homelab access
When you add your server you can set custom HTTP headers and import an mTLS client certificate (a .p12 file). Your music comes straight from your server, with no relay of ours in between.
Every screen
Sidebar navigation, keyboard control, a Mini Player, downloads that keep playing when you go offline. These screenshots come from the Linux build, which shares its code with Windows, and use a demo library.
01 / Home
The sidebar gives you Home, Artists, Albums, Playlists, Radio and Directories. Home opens on a Featured Album hero with Quick Play, Made for You and Most Played below.
02 / Now Playing & Lyrics
Open the lyrics panel next to Now Playing and each line lights up as it's sung. Album art, ratings and full transport controls sit alongside.
03 / Albums
An Albums grid with cover art, artist name and release year. Sort by recently added, alphabetically, by artist, or by year. Click any album for the full track list, and keep control from the now-playing bar.
04 / NaviSyncRock
Pick your whole library or just some artists, albums and playlists, choose a format and bitrate, and NaviBeat transcodes on your server and copies it to a connected Rockbox iPod or player.
05 / Artists
Browse artists as circular tiles with their images and album counts. Open one for the full discography.

$9.99, once. There's no subscription and no in-app purchases: one price covers everything, Library Doctor and NaviSyncRock included. You get five days with every feature first, and after that the app asks for a license key.

NaviBeat is a client, so it connects to your own server. It works with Navidrome v0.50 or later, or any OpenSubsonic-compatible server, including Airsonic-Advanced and Gonic. It doesn't host or stream any music of its own.
