Choose a folder from the Files app and Folder Looper continuously plays the supported audio files inside, without requiring a music library, playlist setup, or account. It is built for musicians, worship teams, performers, teachers, language learners, audiobook listeners, and anyone who wants quick access to organized audio files in iCloud Drive or other Files locations. Version 2.0 adds a new Practice mode alongside the folder player. Move the current song into Practice, or choose a single audio file, then slow it down, speed it up, transpose it, repeat it, and view detected key and tempo details as a starting point for rehearsal. Folder Looper can also display embedded song artwork when available, show Now Playing information, support background playback, and let you browse or reshuffle the current play order at any time.
