The singular “Library” tab-while a huge complaint of mine on Music.app, surprisingly works on Doppler and again helps it stand out. Like Power Player, it’s heavily inspired by iTunes 11’s gorgeous dynamic album display theme. It’s a fun bit of whimsy that helps break up Doppler’s otherwise serious demeanor. Additionally, while permanent dark themes run the risk of feeling too cold, Doppler gracefully averts this thanks to generous splashes of color in its album views, which feature dynamic album art theming akin to iTunes 11 and Power Player. It features a not-quite-black background that looks great on both OLED and traditional LED displays, and works wonderfully to distinguish Doppler from its peers. To start-while Doppler’s permanent dark theme’s lack of respect for the system’s appearance continues to be my single biggest gripe with Doppler-the design’s undeniably lovely. To be clear, this positioning generally works in Doppler’s favor. These critical design choices and many others like it certainly differentiate Doppler from being considered a traditional player like Power Player or Cs Music, but at the same time it’s purposefully not as radical a departure as to be considered niche like Albums or Vinyl Fetish, situating Doppler squarely in a strange twilight zone between the two. You may also notice its prominent first-class independent library management, which earned a coveted spot as the “Import” tab in the tab bar. What you’ll immediately notice its custom, permanently dark visuals and singular “Library” tab like in Music.app. When narrowly observing Doppler as “just” an iOS music player, it’s easy to lose the forest in the trees.
