## What is Phonoria?

Phonoria brings local folders, iCloud Drive files, your Apple Music library, and purchased or imported songs on your iPhone into one music player. Set A-B markers to repeat only the part you need — great for practice, transcribing, language learning, or savoring a favorite section.

[Good for]
· Musicians, singers, and language learners who need to repeat a phrase or chorus
· Anyone who wants to endlessly loop a favorite line of a favorite song
· People who manage their own audio folders and want to play them directly
· Listeners who prefer keeping music files local instead of streaming
· iCloud Drive users who want their cloud audio as a real library
· Anyone who wants Apple Music library songs and purchased music next to local files

[Features]
· Folder selection — pick a folder in iCloud Drive or local storage and Phonoria scans it into a library
· Apple Music library — show and play songs you have added to your library alongside local files (Apple Music subscription required)
· Purchased or imported songs — play DRM-free music stored on your iPhone without a subscription
· A-B Loop — set start point A and end point B, repeat any section with a smooth crossfade
· Playback modes: Repeat Track / Repeat All / Shuffle / Single Track
· Browse by Songs, Albums, Artists, and Playlists
· Search across songs, albums, and artists
· Embedded album artwork
· One-tap download for cloud-only files in iCloud Drive
· Lock Screen, Control Center, and Live Activity playback controls
· A new default icon plus 10 classic alternate icons; choose the icon/accent and Light/Dark appearance independently
· Output volume limit for loud files on CarPlay or external speakers
· Supports m4a, mp3, wav, flac, and aac

[Privacy]
Music files are read from the folder you choose. No account, login, or upload required. Phonoria works fully offline.

DRM-protected songs, unsupported formats, files not downloaded to the device, or Apple Music catalog songs not added to your library may not be playable.
