## What is Jellyfish Music Player?

Do you have lots of music on your computer and would like to listen to it on your iPhone but find iTunes Sync uncomfortable to use? 

Jellyfish Music Player allows you to listen to your music files on your iPhone without using iTunes Sync. You can transfer your audio files from your computer using USB.  

How to use the app?
To transfer your audio files from your computer you have to use iTunes 'File Sharing' feature. File Sharing is not sync!! with File Sharing you copy files from your computer directly to the app when you phone is connected via USB. 
​
Once the files are transferred to the app you can organize them in folders as you like. You listen to the files from the app itself like you use any other music player app. 

The app shows how much space is taken by each file and you can remove files and folders directly from the app to easily make space on your phone.

How much does it cost?
You can use the app free of charge for a trial period of 30 days. When the trial period is finished you can still listen to the music you have transferred to the app but cannot add new music. To add new files you need to buy an upgrade to the unlimited version of the app.

Notes: 
- Only mp3 files are supported.
- The files in the app cannot be played by Apple Music app and the app cannot play files transferred by iTunes sync.
- You must legally own all the audio files that are transferred to the app.

### 1/5 — Simply unusable.

*2023-05-27*

Tried this app on my Iphone 12 mini to play music from my local file. Could not do it, it said no files detected. There was no back button to close import dialog. Sorry, but unusable app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-09-21*

I absolutely HATE iPhones and the way the music system is set up. Have no interest in having apple and iTunes organizing my music. I have thousands of mp3 and they’re all in folders. this app recognizes the folders and the mp3 files.
I was ready to hand the phone back into the store and go back to Android.

Good little app.

### 5/5 — Best around

*2019-01-11*

I use this app for few years riding my bicycle and so far I didn’t find any issue that would bother me so much! I don’t know, but from some reason it doesn’t recognize an alphabetical (English) or numerical order! And some mp3 files from my laptop won’t download also, probably do to my OS upgrade, than I wouldn’t put blame on app for this issue!

### 5/5 — Good
