Citrus starts with the collection you already own, then gives it somewhere to live, grow, travel and become useful - from everyday listening to discovering what belongs in your collection next.
Import music already on your computer, rip CDs directly into your library or record vinyl without building a separate workflow around it. Citrus keeps everything together as one usable collection.
Moly detection helps Citrus understand tracks quickly, while the wider library experience connects artists, albums and releases so you can see what you own, what is missing and what is coming next.
Create lightweight user profiles so everyone in the household can keep their own playlists, history and recommendations while sharing the same underlying music collection.
Build mixes quickly from genre, mood, era and other tags, share playlists for other people to explore, visualise the music on screen and create karaoke versions with animated lyrics.
Use the desktop app as your own private streaming source, stream the library to Citrus Mobile or sync selected music for offline listening. Your music stays centred around the collection you already own.
