Streamless — your library, ready to rip and sync
How it works

Three steps. That's the whole app.

01 / IMPORT

Import music or rip a CD

Your imported music stays sorted. Or rip a CD to lossless ALAC, FLAC or space-saving AAC. Tagged and sorted automatically.

02 / ORGANIZE

Build your library

Your whole collection, clean and searchable. Stored on your Mac or external HD. Nothing uploaded. Nothing tracked.

03 / SYNC

Fill your iPod

Plug it in and hit sync. Streamless writes your music the way your device understands. No Finder. No Apple Music.

Why Streamless

Music you own, on hardware you love.

No subscription, ever

14-day free trial, then pay once and it's yours. Updates are free. No monthly anything.

Your library stays yours

Everything lives on your Mac or external HD. Streamless has no servers and never sees a second of your music.

Built for the classics

iPod Classic, Mini, and Nano. The devices Apple's own software has all but abandoned.

Simple on purpose

No bloat. No settings maze. It does a few things and does them well, the way an iPod should.

Your whole collection, at a glance.

Artists, albums, tracks, and playlists in one calm, fast library. Built to browse the way you actually think about your music.

Streamless library — albums, artists, and tracks

Rip CDs to the format you want.

Lossless ALAC and FLAC, or space-saving AAC. Streamless rips, tags, and files each disc automatically, so your library stays tidy as it grows.

Streamless ripping a CD to your library

Sync to your iPod in one click.

Plug it in and Streamless loads your music. Playlists, play counts, and all. No Finder, no Apple Music, no dragging files around.

Compatibility

Works with the classics.

Streamless is made for the click-wheel era. The iPods you can still find for a few dollars and bring back to life.

Works with
iPod Classic · 4th–7th geniPod Mini*iPod Nano · 1st–5th gen
Not supported
iPod TouchiPod Nano · 6th & 7th gen

* The iPod Mini plays AAC only — 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.
