LOCAL MUSIC, READY OFFLINE Import supported audio files, organise them into playlists and folders, edit metadata and artwork, and keep local tracks available without a network connection. Apple Music content is streamed through MusicKit and requires an active Apple Music subscription. PLAYLISTS YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU Create and pin playlists, mark favourites, and export SONAR playlist packages. Local audio can be included when sharing; Apple Music songs remain secure catalogue references. PRIVATE BY DESIGN SONAR contains no advertising and does not use third-party tracking or analytics. Optional Sign in with Apple enables a private iCloud backup of your profile, settings and playlist definitions. Audio files are never uploaded to SONAR's cloud backup. Features may vary by device, region and Apple Music availability. CarPlay requires a compatible vehicle or receiver. Apple Music requires a separate subscription and is not included with SONAR.
