Your library is organized by album, artist and folder automatically. 3. Press play. Everything works offline, forever. Your music files never leave your device. No analytics, no tracking, no account. This player plays your own music files. DRM-protected Apple Music tracks cannot be played. Press play on the music you already own.

Flux Prime's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
