A React Native audio player library built on the New Architecture (JSI/TurboModules) providing background playback, queue management, caching, preloading, and remote controls. V5 is commercially licensed (free for personal/educational use), while V4 remains Apache-2.0 on a frozen branch.
Use cases
- play music in the background of a react native app
- add audio playback with lock screen controls to my app
- integrate android auto and carplay playback
- cache audio for offline playback in react native
- build a podcast player with react native
- preload upcoming tracks for gapless playback
- stream audio with chromecast and airplay support
When to choose
- building a React Native music, podcast, or radio app on the New Architecture
- you need background playback, remote controls, or car dashboard integration
- you want a fully typed TypeScript audio API with React hooks
- you can accept a commercial license for production use
When to avoid
- you need a fully free open-source license for commercial use (use V4 or another player)
- your project is on React Native < 0.74 or the old architecture
- you are not using React Native (e.g., Flutter or native apps)
- you need DRM playback today (listed as coming soon)
