The New NML Mobile App Is Here!



Naxos Music Library is proud and excited to introduce the brand new NML mobile app! Ain't it pretty?

Of course, it's not all about appearance; that would make us shallow, horrible people. The new mobile app comes with greatly improved stability as well, and it boasts cleaner and more logical usability. Further features:
  1. Create a user account on the go! The old process of creating an account from a computer is still available, but now mobile users who are on their school or library's wi-fi can sign up directly from the app. Additionally, if an institution provides users with a mobile access code, it can be used to sign up from anywhere! Find out more here.
  2. Create playlists directly on the app. Previously users could only stream playlists created from a computer, but now they can add any track to any playlist from anywhere.
  3. The player includes improved and expanded controls, including the ability to shuffle, scrub, rewind, or fast-forward through tracks.
If you already have the old mobile app, the new one will be available as an update. If you have not downloaded our mobile app yet, you can easily find it by searching "NML" or "Naxos Music Library" in the app store. At this time, the new app is available for iOS only, but an Android version is expected to follow within a month, and iOS and Android apps for NML-Jazz after that.

Did we mention that the mobile app is still free? Because it is. So download it today, and take 100,000 albums with you in your pocket wherever you go!

How to Access the NML Mobile App

To gain access to the Naxos Music Library app, you will need to create a mobile login. This quick process will connect you with your school or library's specific NML account, which is necessary for letting you access both your institution's and your personal playlists.

If you have ever created your own playlist in NML, then you already have access to the mobile app. Simply log in using the same email address and password you use to reach your playlists. If you have never done this before, there are three ways you can set this up. Don't worry, it should only take a moment.

Option 1: If you are on a desktop or laptop right now, you can access NML as you normally do, then click on the Mobile App link at the top of the page (1). Follow the instructions there (2), and once you click the activation link in the confirmation email (3), you can then use the credentials you just created to sign in to the app.

Option 2: If you are on a mobile device and using wi-fi, and if you are on campus or at your library, you can sign up directly in the mobile app through the link at the bottom of the app's front page (1). How do we know which institution to match you up with (2)? Magic! Not really. We just match up the IP address you're using with the institution that claims it. Once you click the link in the activation email (3), you're good to go!

Option 3: If you are on a mobile device but not on campus or the library premises, after you click the sign-up link on the front page of the app (1) and the app fails to link your IP address with your institution, you will be sent to a screen (2) where you can use a mobile access code that your professor or librarian may have provided to you. It could be in an email they sent out, or in a course syllabus. If you have this, then you can sign up for a mobile account anywhere! The app will use this code to match you up with the right institution. Then you can create your login for the app (3) and activate via email (4).

(3)                                                           (4)
If you do not have an access code, try following option 1 (above) in your mobile browser as though you were on a computer. Some mobile devices and/or browsers can have a little trouble streaming audio, but you can log in this way long enough to sign up for access to the mobile app as you would on a computer.

Note that confirmation emails can sometimes end up in your junk folder, so don't forget to check there if you don't see it in your inbox. In the unlikely event you're unable to find this email in your inbox or junk folder, contact us at NMLHelp@NaxosUSA.com (U.S. and Canada) or Customer.Service@Naxos.com (all other countries) and let us know through which institution you receive access to NML and which email address you used to sign up. We'll get you activated right away.

Once you are signed up and activated, enjoy taking Naxos Music Library with you wherever you go! And make yourself a playlist or two so you can listen to all your favorite recordings in one place. Happy listening!

Comment accéder à notre discothèque Naxos avec l’application mobile?




Pour accéder à notre application mobile NML vous avez besoin de créer une connexion mobile. De cette façon vous serez connecté avec votre bibliothèque pour avoir accès à vos listes d’écoute personnalisées (playlist).


Si vous avez déjà créé une liste d’écoute sur NML, alors vous avez déjà un accès à l’application mobile. Il faut simplement vous connecter en utilisant la même adresse de courriel et le même mot de passe que vous utilisez pour accéder aux listes d’écoute.



Option 1:
Si vous êtes avec votre ordinateur ou portable accédez à NML comme d’habitude. Puis cliquez sur la bannière de l’application mobile qui est sur le haut de la page (1). Suivez les instructions (2), et après avoir activé le lien dans le courriel de confirmation (3), vous allez pouvoir utiliser les informations d’accès que vous avez créées pour rentrer dans l’application.

Option 2:
Si vous utilisez votre portable ou tablette en vous connectant avec le Wi-Fi de votre bibliothèque, vous pouvez vous enregistrer directement dans votre application mobile à travers le lien qui se trouve au-dessous de la page d’accueil (1). Comment sait-on quelle institution est la vôtre? (2) Simplement en validant les adresses IP qui correspondent avec l’institution qui fait la demande. Une fois que vous cliquez sur le lien dans le courriel d’activation, (3) vous êtes prêt pour l’utilisation.

Option 3:
Si vous utilisez votre portable ou tablette mais que le réseau Wi-Fi n’est pas celui de votre bibliothèque, vous devez vous enregistrer sur le lien de la fenêtre principale de l’application (1).  Après avoir cliqué sur le lien de connexion vers l’application mobile en haut de la page, vous allez être redirigé  vers une autre fenêtre (2)  à partir de laquelle vous allez pouvoir utiliser les codes d’accès que la bibliothèque vous a donné. Ensuite vous pourrez créer votre propre code d’accès pour l’application mobile (3) et l’activer par courriel (4). Si vous n’avez pas de code d’accès, suivez l’option 1 dans votre portable comme si vous étiez sur votre ordinateur.
