Sovault is a music player for people who own their music. Streaming services come and go. Your collection doesn't have to. Point Sovault at your files and it plays them — including the formats most players quietly refuse. PLAYS 40+ FORMATS MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Opus — plus APE (Monkey's Audio), DSD (DSF/DFF), WavPack, TAK, TTA, Musepack, Shorten, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, AC-3, DTS, MLP/TrueHD, ATRAC, Speex, and more. That old APE rip, the DSD you bought years ago, the WavPack archive you forgot about — they all just play. FIX GARBLED TAGS Chinese and Japanese tracks ripped years ago often store their tags in GBK, Big5 or Shift-JIS, and show up as "ÍõÐÄÁè" everywhere else. Sovault detects the original encoding and repairs it — permanently, written back into the file. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR RULES • Import from Files, folders, URLs, iCloud Drive — no limits, ever • Full offline playback, with background audio, AirPlay and lock screen / Control Center controls • A real file browser inside the app: move, rename, organize • Edit tags and artwork for one track or hundreds at once • Find what's broken: missing artwork, missing artist, garbled text • Playlists, favorites, ratings, play counts • Four Now Playing views — artwork, spinning vinyl, real-time spectrum (six styles), and synced lyrics that highlight line by line • Now Playing and Lyrics widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and Mac — play, pause and skip right from the widget on iOS 17 / macOS 14 or later • Last.fm scrobbling NO ACCOUNT.
