MP3Native vs Spindle

MyTunes is a privacy-focused offline audio player designed exclusively for playing user-owned music files stored locally on your device. Take full control of your personal library. MyTunes is built to organize and play the audio files you already own, providing a seamless, high-performance offline experience without distractions. Core Features: Local Library Management: Play audio files transferred to your device or stored within the system’s Files app. Background Audio Support: Continue listening to your personal library while multitasking or when the screen is locked. Custom Organization: Create and manage playlists to organize your local tracks exactly how you want. Clean & Intuitive UI: A lightweight interface designed for speed and ease of use. 100% Offline Experience: No internet connection, account creation, or data usage required. Important Compliance Note: MyTunes is strictly a playback utility for local files. The app does not provide streaming services, does not facilitate searching or downloading music from external sources, and does not provide access to third-party protected content. Users are solely responsible for the audio files they import into the app via manual synchronization or file sharing.

The dedicated music player you miss, rebuilt for iPhone — and it plays your own server. For those with a spot of nostalgia for click wheels and MiniDiscs: those little machines played the music you owned, in the order you chose. No feed. No account. No algorithm deciding what came next. Spindle brings that back. Your whole server, in your pocket. Run Navidrome, or any Subsonic-compatible server? Point Spindle at it and your entire collection is there — thousands of albums, browsable and playable, without filling up your phone. A library far bigger than your storage, on a device that fits in a pocket. It stays your server. There is no Spindle account and no cloud of ours in the middle: your phone talks to your machine, and nobody else is involved. If you don't run a server, none of this appears — Spindle is a local player first, and stays one. Take it offline. Download any album to keep it on the phone. Offline Mode then shows only music that plays with no connection at all — on a plane, on the subway, off-grid — and quietly collapses duplicates when you own a copy of something you also stream. A player you hold. A real jog wheel: drag to scroll, flick to coast, spin to scrub. Hold a scrub and it accelerates, the way a proper transport does. Eyes-up and thumb-driven. Not another screen of flat buttons. Your collection, one turn away. Albums, artists, songs, genres, and folders: on a shelf you can spin through. Loved and most-played stay close to hand. You bring the curation. The music you own, in the order you meant it. Spindle just plays it back. And it plays it properly. FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF and MP3, played through Spindle's own engine at the file's native sample rate. Gapless playback for albums that were meant to run together. A 10-band EQ if you want to shape it. CarPlay, AirPlay, and Last.fm scrobbling if you use it. Free for 7 days, then buy it once. The whole app for a week, nothing withheld. After that it's a one-time purchase — not a subscription. No account. No subscription to us. No feed. Your library, your order.
