SoundsCute is a simple audio file player. If you purchase this, you can also use the Mac version. iSoundsCute for iOS and this SoundsCute are separate apps. Please be careful. This application can be used in a variety of settings, including podcasts, theater, television technology, directing, sound effects, SR, PA, hall acoustics, events, weddings, kindergartens, nursery schools, school events such as sports festivals and cultural festivals, theater and dance studio practice sessions, and intro guessing quizzes. It's ideal for playing background music, jingles, and sound effects. Support has been added for Apple Music search tracks, library tracks, playlists, audio files stored in the iCloud Files app, and tracks from the iTunes Music Library. Apple Music content can only be played in single mode. Mixed playback with other content is not possible. The start point can be set in one-second increments, but precise cueing is not possible. Endpoint settings are not possible. Loop playback and fader volume adjustment are also not possible. These are in accordance with Apple's application development guidelines. Audio files provided by Apple Music will have the Apple logo before the title to make them easier to identify. I am developing it with the aim of a level that can be used in broadcasting, but I have a low price. If you like it, please recommend it to your friends. Music streaming services (such as Apple Music) are intended for personal use only. Even for broadcasting professionals, schools, and educational institutions, Apple Music content may not be used in public settings. For public use, please use music purchased through iTunes or audio files ripped from CDs and stored in the Files app. When using music for broadcasting, events, school activities, or similar purposes, please ensure compliance with the terms of service of the relevant music streaming service, copyright laws, applicable local regulations, and any blanket licensing agreements held by broadcasters or other organizations. Please note that this application supports only Apple Music content, music purchased through iTunes, and audio files stored in the Files app or on the iOS device itself.
