We-be Jukebox is a personal music player for people who want a simple, private way to enjoy the music they own. Import songs from Files or Apple Music, sync eligible purchases from We-be, organize tracks into playlists, and listen from your phone, Bluetooth speaker, headphones, car stereo, or lock screen. The app is built around a clean jukebox-style player with a vinyl record view, quick playlist switching, editable playlists, real album-art thumbnails, and straightforward library controls. We-be Jukebox is a paid app with no ads, no third-party ad tracking, no subscriptions, and no social feed. Your imported audio stays on your device and is used only for playback inside the app. A basic We-be ID lets the app restore eligible We-be purchase entitlements already tied to your account. Features: - Import compatible audio files from Files. - Choose playable songs from your Apple Music library. - Sync eligible songs purchased from We-be. - Create, edit, and delete playlists, switch between playlists, or view all songs. - Add or remove songs from playlists without changing the main library. - Play audio in the background and control playback from the lock screen. - Use Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and car audio like a normal music player.
