## What is Otter Player?

Otter Player is a local music player. Your music stays on your device or your own server—no uploads, no third parties.

There are three ways to add music:
• Files app: Copy to “On My iPhone → Otter Player”
• File Transfer: Open “Settings → File Transfer,” then use a computer browser to visit the address shown in the app and upload. No cable needed.
• Music Sources: Add a LAN server or any other folder on your phone.

■ Connect directly to NAS—no need to download first
Supports SMB, NFS, WebDAV, and DLNA. Automatically discover Samba and DLNA devices on your LAN, or enter an address manually. Usernames and passwords can be saved, and connections are tested before use.
Music on network sources can be played directly, or added to your library and browsed by album, artist, and genre. You decide whether to allow changes to files on network sources.

■ Lyrics
Supports lrc, qrc, ttml, srt, vtt, and txt. Just place the lyric file in the same folder with the same name as the music file.
Word-by-word highlighting makes the current line clear as it’s sung. Tap a line to jump to it.
Translations and romanization appear as companion lyrics on the same song and can be toggled separately. If they’re out of sync, use “Lyric Timing Adjustment” to fine-tune, and you can also share lyrics.
