Audio Looper+ vs Folder Looper

Audio Looper+ is the precise practice tool for anyone who needs to replay, study, or perform along with specific sections of an audio track. Drop in a song, a lesson, a podcast or a language recording, create as many markers as you like, and loop seamlessly (or with a rest time) between any two of them — then export the looped section as its own file. Features: • Place an unlimited number of markers on the waveform • Loop seamlessly between any two markers • Add a rest time before a loop repeats, with an optional countdown tick and visual countdown — perfect for practicing a phrase, pausing, then jumping back in • Pinch-to-zoom on the zoomed waveform for accurate navigation • Played-back audio is dimmed grey so you always know where you are • Export loops in AAC, WAV or Apple Lossless • Move, rename and disable markers without losing your place • Adjust playback speed • Tap anywhere on the waveform to jump instantly • Markers are saved per track across your whole library • Import audio from the Files app or your Music Library Who is it for? • Musicians learning or transcribing a part, by ear or with their instrument • Singers and vocalists rehearsing a verse, a run, or a single line • Dancers and choreographers drilling a section on repeat • Music producers and DJs isolating a loop, a break or a sample to export • Language learners shadowing a sentence or a dialogue • Podcasters and journalists reviewing a clip • Students transcribing lectures, interviews or field recordings • Anyone who needs to repeat, mark or export a specific moment in an audio file If you have any questions or feedback, contact me at audiolooper@danielnoethen.de

Folder Looper is a focused audio player for people who keep their audio organized in folders. Choose a folder from the Files app and Folder Looper continuously plays the supported audio files inside, without requiring a music library, playlist setup, or account. It is built for musicians, worship teams, performers, teachers, language learners, audiobook listeners, and anyone who wants quick access to organized audio files in iCloud Drive or other Files locations. Version 2.0 adds a new Practice mode alongside the folder player. Move the current song into Practice, or choose a single audio file, then slow it down, speed it up, transpose it, repeat it, and view detected key and tempo details as a starting point for rehearsal. Folder Looper can also display embedded song artwork when available, show Now Playing information, support background playback, and let you browse or reshuffle the current play order at any time. Features: • Play audio files directly from folders in the Files app • Supports MP3, WAV, AAC, AIF, AIFF, CAF, and M4A formats • Continuous playback through all supported files in a folder • Optional shuffle mode • Browse the play order, jump to any song, and reshuffle anytime • Background audio and remote playback controls • Displays embedded song artwork when available • Shows current song, folder, playback time, song count, key, and tempo details • Remembers your selected folder between app launches • Smart filename sorting for numbered tracks • Works with iCloud Drive and other Files-accessible locations Practice Features: • Choose a single song for focused practice • Bring the current Player song into Practice • Detect key and tempo for supported audio files • Transpose from one key to another • Adjust playback speed from 50% to 150% • Repeat the practice song continuously • Reset detected values, key changes, and speed changes without removing the song Key and tempo detection are helpful estimates based on the audio signal.
