The multi-room hi-fi system for the music you own.

Yamsap runs on your own hardware and plays the files you already have, on any speaker in the house, at full resolution.

Your library's front page, rebuilt each morning.

Every room, one record.

Every speaker on the network becomes a zone. Pick one, or group the whole house and let the rooms play in sync. Audio goes out at the file’s native rate. Nothing gets resampled down to make the network’s life easier.

A remote for the whole house.

The interface fits your phone just as well. Open the picker, choose the desktop in the office, and the phone shows whatever that room is playing. Press play from the couch.

It comes with you when you leave.

Turn on remote access and your server takes an address of its own on the internet. The same library opens at the office, at a friend’s place, on hotel wifi. Music plays on the device in your hand rather than the speakers back home, so nothing starts up in an empty living room.

The iPhone app brings the library into CarPlay. Recently played and recently added sit on the home screen as artwork. The rest is one tap down.

Your library on the dash.

A library you can read.

Most players show a collection as a grid of covers and a search box. Yamsap gives artists portraits and proper biographies. Album pages list the credits and the label that pressed the record. Whatever you got right in your own tags is read and shown rather than ignored.

Everything that came in the sleeve.

A record is more than an audio file and a cover. Yamsap goes and finds the rest of it, and gives the parts of a collection that never fit a grid somewhere sensible to live.

New every morning, from records you already have.

Overnight, yamsap plays your library and hears music the way you do, timbre, energy, mood and texture, and rebuilds the daily mixes and artist radio from what it hears.

It runs on your own machine and it has no idea what strangers are streaming, so there is no popularity to lose to. It just keeps finding the deep cuts that were already sitting in your library.

How the listening works

Corrections
Fix a cover, an artist or a track order by hand, without touching the file.

Yours, on your hardware, even with the internet unplugged.

Yamsap installs on a computer you already have and keeps your music right there. Nothing depends on someone else’s servers staying up, and the whole thing keeps working when the internet doesn’t.
