8DMusic turns any song into ASMR or 8D Audio that you can use for sleep, focus, relaxation, meditation or just for fun. It's like your favorite artiste performing at a concert with only you in it. It's the most immersive audio you have listened to yet. Getting started is very easy: you can import songs from your computer/phone or create a new song from scratch simply by describing it! You can import your own audio files into the app using 3 channels: 1. From other Apps: You can import songs in other apps on your phone (Files, Photos, Drive etc.) into the app. You simply 'share' the songs and choose 'Copy to 8DMusic' in the list of actions. 2. AirDrop: Send songs from a Mac, iPhone or iPad via AirDrop to your iPhone and choose '8DMusic' in the list of apps that appears. 3. Over WiFi: Use the built-in WiFi import feature to import songs from a computer, phone etc. via a browser. If you have songs in your Music library already, 8DMusic will also automatically import - and work with - those. Once your songs are loaded into the app, you can immediately start listening to them with the 8D effect. Please note that 8DMusic won't work with songs in iCloud or songs saved from Apple Music or Spotify or any other DRM-protected audio files. Ratings are super useful. If you enjoy the app, please give us a rating. If you have questions, please check the FAQ section on the app's Settings page or contact us at contactus.8dmusic@gmail.com. Happy listening!
