## What is PrivateAudioLibrary?

Bring music from your own servers, NAS, and personal files into one focused Apple-platform experience.

Sanshuai Player is built for people who manage their own music collections. Connect an OpenSubsonic, Navidrome, Airsonic, Gonic, Jellyfin, or compatible NAS server that you own or are authorized to use. You can also import local tracks or an SMB folder through Files, then browse, search, favorite, organize playlists, and keep listening from one app.

Key features:

• Manage and switch between multiple personal music sources
• Import tracks from local storage or SMB folders
• Browse and search artists, albums, songs, and playlists
• Choose Original, Lossless Preferred, High, Standard, or Data Saver playback
• Keep listening with background audio, Lock Screen, and headset controls
• Use a collapsible mini player, playback queue, and upcoming-track prefetch
• Follow time-synced lyrics
• Manage favorites, playlists, and playback progress when supported by your server
• Rotate your iPhone into an original audio-reactive landscape stage
• Browse your library and control playback with CarPlay in compatible vehicles
• Keep each server password or access token in the device Keychain

Sanshuai Player does not provide, host, aggregate, or distribute music, and it does not include a public online catalog. You must own or be authorized to access the servers and content you connect. Favorites, playlists, lyrics, transcoding, and sync capabilities vary by server implementation and account permissions.
