Cloudtape turns the music folders in your Dropbox into a proper music library on your iPhone. Pick the folders, let it sync, and it all plays from the phone itself: on a plane, underground, anywhere. Nothing streams. Every track is downloaded before it plays, so there's no buffering and no data used while you listen. PLAYS FROM YOUR PHONE • Syncs only the folders you pick, and keeps them up to date in the background • Notices when you move or rename a folder in Dropbox, instead of downloading it all again • Plays MP3, AAC, M4A, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and audiobooks (M4B) • Disconnect Dropbox or let the trial run out, and everything already on the phone keeps playing PLAYS PROPERLY • Browse by album, artist and song, the way the Music app does • Picks up where you left off in long DJ sets and audiobooks, per file • A scrubber drawn from the track's own waveform • Playlists, lyrics from your files, a sleep timer and volume levelling STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY • Only reads your Dropbox. It never writes, moves or deletes anything there • Shows the music already on your iPhone in the same library • Scrobbles to Last.fm if you want it, including plays made offline • No account, no ads, no tracking PRICE Free for 14 days, counted from your first sync. After that, one payment keeps syncing on for good. There's no subscription, and Family Sharing is included.
