Streaming services rent you a catalogue. LMPlayr plays the music you already own — MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, AAC, AIFF, OGG, Opus, AC3 and AMR — on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and through CarPlay in your car. No streaming, no subscription, no account, nothing uploaded. If it's in your Files app, it plays. 2.1 IS BUILT FOR THE NEW BIG SCREENS • Unfolded on iPhone Duo — a two-pane view with Now Playing living permanently beside your library, so the artwork, lyrics and EQ stay on screen while you dig through your collection. Fold it and you're back to the familiar single-column player, no rotation jump. • A vertical tab rail that docks where your thumb already is, and playlists that behave identically folded, unfolded and on iPad. • Quick cards, not sheets — press and hold Equalizer, Sleep Timer or Crossfade and the controls slide up right where you are, then drag down to dismiss. YOUR MUSIC, EVERYWHERE YOU LISTEN • Import from the Files app — MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, AAC, AIFF, OGG, Opus, AC3, AMR • Apple Watch, done properly — sync your library and leave your phone at home. Digital Crown volume, glass UI, artwork themes, playlists. • CarPlay — browse your library and playlists from the dashboard, shuffle and repeat included. • iPad — the same two-pane treatment in landscape, free rotation, grid views for big artwork. • Offline by design — everything plays from local storage. No internet required after import. A PLAYER THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS • Playlists — create, edit, reorder, and give each one its own cover art • Shuffle & repeat — Off, Repeat One, Repeat All, with a real shuffle order you can watch happen • Now Playing with a card-swipe cover flow — the current cover lifts and tosses off the stack as the next one arrives • Song editor — fix titles, artists and album art, and re-embed it into the file • Lyrics from your library: tap a song and follow along • Stats & listening history — your most-played songs and artists, and a history you can tap back into • Background playback on iPhone, Apple Watch and CarPlay • Grid and list views, sorting by title or artist, synced across your devices UNLOCK PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Equalizer · 10 bands with presets, built for cheap earbuds and good headphones alike Karaoke-style synced lyrics — word-by-word highlight that scrolls with the track Sleep Timer — pause, stop or fade out after a set time Crossfade — gapless transitions between songs Cloud Sync — keep your library, playlists and play history in step across your own devices Artwork Themes — the app takes its colour from your cover art, on iPhone and on the watch LMPlayr works entirely with your own files. No ads. No tracking. No account. No monthly bill. A one-time in-app purchase (LMPlayr PRO) unlocks the premium features, and it's yours for every device you own; everything above under "A player that actually plays" is free — including Watch playback, playlists, shuffle and repeat, and CarPlay. If you've ever cancelled a subscription because you just wanted one album, this is the app for that.
