## Description

SnesMusic is a Chrome extension that serves as a dedicated player for classic game music files. It supports multiple formats across several systems, including SNES RSN, NES NSF, GBA GSF, N64 USF, PSF/Minipsf, and more, delivering high-fidelity 16-bit chiptune playback with playlist mixing and cover art.

It offers convenient file management and playback features: add RSN files via iTunes File Sharing or Safari downloads, AirPlay/Bluetooth audio, background playback, and lock-screen/multitasking controls. It also explains packaging rules for certain formats (ZIP/7Z with M3U, RSN within archives) and notes that you cannot play SNES games with this app.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for its broad retro game music library and offline playback with playlist support, but report frequent crashes, incomplete catalog with missing consoles, paywalls for extra content, and an aging UI.

### Pros

- Extensive library of retro game music across multiple consoles (SNES, N64, Game Boy, etc).
- Offline playback and no-internet usage with downloadable/playlist-capable workflow.
- Ability to import your own files and manage playlists within the app.

### Cons

- Crashes and stability issues during download or on reopen (occurs across multiple reviews).
- Gaps in the library: missing consoles and content (e.g., GameCube, PS2) and requests for more systems.
- Content sometimes behind purchases/paywalls to access additional consoles.
- Outdated/clunky UI feel for modern iOS apps.
