Music App Reviewer and Audio Editor

Elena Petrova

Elena reviews music apps the way mastering engineers listen: on real phones, with her own lossless library, one setting at a time. She has spent years testing players, equalizers and library managers, and she maintains the listening library this site tests with, from carefully tagged albums to the messy downloads folder everyone pretends not to have.

Reviewing music apps since 2019 · 40+ music and audio apps tested

Elena Petrova reviews music apps the way mastering engineers listen: patiently, on real equipment, with recordings she knows down to the breath before the chorus. Mornye is her favourite kind of assignment, a player with no interest in selling her anything, and she has been testing its builds with the library she has maintained for over a decade.

What she does here

Elena installs every build we publish on the full test rack, scans the same demanding library each time, and listens the way listeners do: on the train, in the kitchen, through the headphones she actually owns. Her guides come from those hours, including the equalizer starting points and the library habits that keep a big collection feeling small.

Her reviewing standard

A player earns its verdict in the fortieth album, not the first: when the scans, sections, lyrics and statistics have had time to prove themselves against a real collection. Anything that only impresses in the first five minutes gets written up as exactly that.

Elena's testing notes and per-build findings feed the guides on this site, where new posts appear as the player grows.
