New WiiM Home App on Windows and MAC

Hi Team,

We have some great news about our WiiM Home App on Windows and MAC. The new Beta App (with version 0.1.3) supports browsing and searching your music library by track, genre, album, and artist. It can also auto-fill your missing metadata in case your music library misses any metadata information. You can download it here by tapping on the "Download for MacOS" or "Download for Windows". Please try and let us know your thoughts.

Wiim continues to blow me away.I really hope you add the amp's settings to this

I can access my local music library with Wiim Home App for Mac OS but there doesn't seem to be any way to add music services like Tidal or Qobuz. Am I missing something?

No, the desktop apps are still in beta and don’t support the range of services that the mobile apps do. If you have a version of MacOS that runs iOS apps, use the mobile version

That's a great idea!

Whether the WiiM app has been published to the Amazon AppStore isn’t really the point as WSA networking is currently broken as I mentioned earlier. If you install the Aurora appstore for example under WSA, you can access the WiiM app there but until Microsoft fix the networking issue with WSA, it wouldn’t work.

If you uninstall the latest WSA and install the following older version of it and turn on 'Experimental features'. > 'Advanced Networking', the networking will work and you will be able to get the Wiim android to run on Windows 11, I've just done it.

Yay desktop app!

Feature Requests:

• Use computer's media keys/volume to control WiiM
• Send computer audio (arbitrary beeps from Windows, etc) to WiiM (act as a virtual output device)

Send computer audio to WiiM

That's already available, no?

 

[Brantome]

That's already available, no?

Not that I’m aware of. Are you perhaps thinking of local media?

 

[harkpabst]

Yes, that's what I've been thinking of.

 

[Doublej]

That's already available, no?

Yeah, it's called Bluetooth.

A WiiM can be a Bluetooth receiver, no?

 

[cinderblock]

I could run an extra cable, too. But I'm not looking for substandard solutions. There is already a connection - why not use it?
