For musicians and music lovers. SoloTracks began with a simple idea: the music you own should be easy to listen to, and the music you’re learning should be easy to practice. It’s a versatile offline player for your MP3, M4A, and WAV files. Your library can hold favorite songs, full albums, demos, live takes, rehearsal recordings, backing tracks, or works in progress. Now, with a beautiful ground-up redesign and selectable themes, SoloTracks has never looked better. MAKE IT YOURS • A refreshed, modern design that’s cleaner, faster, and easier to navigate. • Choose from four hand-tuned themes (Aurora, Ember, Mint, and Ink) and recolor the entire app in a tap. • A redesigned Home that picks up right where you left off. A BETTER HOME FOR YOUR MUSIC • Keep the music you own together in one clean, organized library. • Import MP3, M4A, and WAV files, complete with embedded artwork and track information. • Transfer songs over Wi-Fi from your Mac using a web browser. No cables or iTunes required. • Sort your library your way, build your own playlists, or let smart playlists group your music automatically. • Enjoy shuffle, repeat, queues, precise scrubbing, and Lock Screen and Control Center playback. • Set a sleep timer for the end of a song or a chosen length of time. • Listen anywhere, without a connection. BUILT FOR PRACTICE SoloTracks gives singers and musicians practical tools for learning, rehearsing, and playing along. • Loop any passage with A-B markers. • Slow tricky sections down or speed them up without shifting the pitch. • Organize stems and alternate versions with Layers, then switch between them or play them together. • Follow synced lyrics, test yourself from memory, and repeat individual phrases until they feel natural.
