Kinsky

Passionate audiophiles who use the famous Linn DS players in their establishments could seek for a way of controlling the music playlists and managing their libraries or podcasts. The liberty of controlling the playback on such players from a digital interface might surely improve the overall experience and increase users’ comfort.

Kinsky is an application that was developed as tool for browsing the music libraries present on Linn DS systems, controlling the playback and managing the playlists. It will provide users with a solution that allows them to handle their music with ease, through the help of customizable bookmarks and room or source selection.

In its black interface, Kinsky offers several controls that will allow one to select the digital device present nearby, browse to the preferred folder, playlist, library or even podcast and choose a playback option. People can choose for the selected music to play immediately or on a scheduled queue, according to their preferences.

Details about the selected library or individual track are provided and, if required, users have the option to bookmark that item or location they are currently browsing. They will be able to add their own custom text as a bookmark title.

The displayed libraries or playlists can be visualized in a list view or separately, as thumbnails with a customizable size. Featuring two main working modes, the application can function both in the full-featured layout (where all the rooms, sources, bookmarks and entries are displayed) or in the minimalist, bar-interface mode, which will only provide the playback controls for the selected music.
