Files Player

For years, I have been collecting countless audio and video files on my hard drives that I want to listen to and watch in between or on the go. No streaming, no subscription, no cloud, no cover art – and no annoying risk of Wi-Fi dropouts or mobile network playback glitches – just copy the files over and take them with you offline. But with “memory”: the app remembers which files I have already played (incl. position). And it works in standby mode and can be conveniently operated from Lock Screen, Apple Watch and AirPods. THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES 1) Easy 2) Simple 3) Uncomplicated THE APP WILL BE USEFUL FOR 1) Tidying up 2) Sorting 3) Discovering A PLAYER LIKE A BIG MEMORY STICK For the price of a veeeery small memory stick. The app shares its Documents folder. So you can upload and delete files and folders directly via the Finder. TRANSFER AUDIO/VIDEO FILES 1) Connect your iPhone/iPad to your Mac. 2) Select it on the desktop or in the Finder sidebar. 3) In the “Files” tab, expand the “Files Player” app with >. 4) Drag & drop audio/video files into the app. 5) Delete files / folders with context menu. Can also be done in the app with the “Trash” button. 6) Refresh the list using the “Refresh” button or “Pull to refresh”. 7) HandOff active? Then alternatively copy files to the clipboard and transfer them to the device using the “Folder” button. 8) On a PC use iTunes. 9) Formats: mp3, m4a, aiff (audio), mp4, m4v, mov (video). The free app is limited to 5 files. If you support me in the development of the app by purchasing it, you can not only manage as many files as you like, but also choose your favorite color for icon & interface via button “Settings” button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ARTES Collectors App at none against Files Player's 1. ARTES Collectors App also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Files Player's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
