Rip your CDs. Build your library. Sync it to the iPod in your drawer and the iPhone in your pocket. No iTunes, no Apple Music, no subscription.
Your imported music stays sorted. Or rip a CD to lossless ALAC, FLAC or space-saving AAC. Tagged and sorted automatically.
Your whole collection, clean and searchable. Stored on your Mac or external HD. Nothing uploaded. Nothing tracked.
Plug in an iPod, or pair your iPhone over Wi-Fi, and hit Sync. Streamless writes your music the way each device understands. No Finder. No Apple Music. No cloud.
14-day free trial, then pay once and it's yours. Updates are free. No monthly anything.
Everything lives on your Mac or external HD. Streamless has no servers and never sees a second of your music.
iPod Classic, Mini, and Nano. The devices Apple's own software has all but abandoned.
No bloat. No settings maze. It does a few things and does them well, the way an iPod should.
Artists, albums, tracks, and playlists in one calm, fast library. Built to browse the way you actually think about your music.
Lossless ALAC and FLAC, or space-saving AAC. Streamless rips, tags, and files each disc automatically, so your library stays tidy as it grows.
Check an artist to sync everything they've made, or open one up and pick just the albums you want. Before anything changes, Streamless shows you exactly what will be added and removed. Playlists, play counts, and all. No Finder, no surprises.
The free Streamless Music app for iPhone syncs from your Mac over your own Wi-Fi. No cloud, no account, nothing uploaded. Everything plays offline, with a widget, CarPlay, and an Apple Watch remote. Playlists, plays, and ratings flow back to your Mac.
Free · requires iOS 18.6 or later
When you hit Sync, your Mac talks directly to your iPhone on your own network. Music, artwork, and playlists transfer machine-to-machine. Streamless has no servers, so there's nothing to upload to, and your library never leaves home unless it's riding in your pocket.
Streamless is made for the click-wheel era. The iPods you can still find for a few dollars and bring back to life.
* The iPod Mini 1st generation plays AAC only, since it can't decode lossless audio. And no classic iPod plays FLAC on Apple's firmware, so for iPod use, rip to ALAC (Nano & Classic) or AAC (any model, including the Mini). FLAC is for a cross-platform library, or for iPods running Rockbox, the open-source firmware that plays it natively. Your iPhone plays everything, FLAC included. The free Streamless Music app requires iOS 18.6 or later.
Free updates within the current version. No subscription, no upsells, no account required. The iPhone companion app is free. One $19 purchase covers everything.
