Have a file-based music collection? Melodee is the app for you. - File Management Melodee is a file focused audio player. It supports file management directly from the built-in iOS/iPadOS Files app, so you don't have to fumble with share sheets, AirDrop, or cloud storage services. No import or sync is necessary, move your audio files directly to the Melodee folder in the 'On My iPhone/On My iPad' folder, and Melodee will automatically pick them up. You can also select your own folder to playback from. Melodee also supports renaming and deleting files in-app. - Media Player Melodee supports playing audio and video. You can queue files for playback, play entire folders, and control audio playback from your Lock Screen, Control Center, or even your Apple Watch. - Tag Editor Melodee supports tag editing for audio files, and you can also modify your audio files’ album art. Additionally, you can use advanced replacement tokens that use information from a file's file name to fill out tag data. You can easily edit multiple files at one go, changing only the fields you want to change. - File Conversion Melodee supports conversion between WAV, MP3, M4A, and more. - Wide File Support Melodee supports previewing images, PDF documents, and text files. If your audio files come in the form of a ZIP archive (such as when purchased from Bandcamp, etc), Melodee can also help you extract them. Simply drop your ZIP archives into the Melodee folder, and open them in the Melodee app. Note: Editing many files at once, or using large album art images may result in longer save times.
