FAQ
Learn more about RTFM Player
Who is RTFM Player for?+
RTFM Player was designed for audiophiles running macOS with large, file-based music libraries who want a cleaner, modern, more premium desktop listening experience.
How does it work with my existing collection?+
Point to your files on local storage, network drives, and removable media. RTFM Player scans and imports your collection into one or more customizable libraries. Color-coded indicators let you know which libraries and playlists are currently online, offline, or only partially online. Set up watched folders to be scanned and updated at regular intervals so your Libraries are always up to date.
What sets it apart from other music players?+
RTFM Player was designed with a modern, simple, and elegant interface that is uncluttered with unnecessary features. It also has the unique ability to create multiple libraries from a variety of sources. This is useful for users who want a library dedicated to lossless files, another for compressed music, and another library reserved for singles as opposed to an album focus. The ability to configure multiple libraries also works great for users who have their collection spread across network drives, a local hard drive, and removal media.
What are the system requirements?+
RTFM Player runs on Apple Silicon processors only and macOS 13 Ventura or later.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Download, install, and use the software without restrictions for 30 days before deciding to purchase.
How do I get in touch for support, to ask a question, report a bug, or make a suggestion?+
