Folder Looper vs Play Your Music

Folder Looper is a focused audio player for people who keep their audio organized in folders. 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. Features: • Play audio files directly from folders in the Files app • Supports MP3, WAV, AAC, AIF, AIFF, CAF, and M4A formats • Continuous playback through all supported files in a folder • Optional shuffle mode • Browse the play order, jump to any song, and reshuffle anytime • Background audio and remote playback controls • Displays embedded song artwork when available • Shows current song, folder, playback time, song count, key, and tempo details • Remembers your selected folder between app launches • Smart filename sorting for numbered tracks • Works with iCloud Drive and other Files-accessible locations Practice Features: • Choose a single song for focused practice • Bring the current Player song into Practice • Detect key and tempo for supported audio files • Transpose from one key to another • Adjust playback speed from 50% to 150% • Repeat the practice song continuously • Reset detected values, key changes, and speed changes without removing the song Key and tempo detection are helpful estimates based on the audio signal. Results may vary depending on recording quality, arrangement, intros, outros, modulations, live recordings, and layered instruments. Folder Looper keeps the workflow simple: pick a folder, press play, or switch into Practice when it is time to work on one song more closely.

A player that lists the music files already on your device and plays them. Build playlists and enjoy your favourite tracks locally. It includes a range loop that repeats only the part you want to hear. Beyond just listening to your own music, it works for practising an instrument or a dance routine, transcribing by ear, and shadowing a language. ■ Your files are never copied - Plays the audio on your device or in the Files app by linking to it. - Nothing is duplicated inside the app, so it uses almost no storage. - Files stored in iCloud Drive and other cloud services work too. ■ Playlists - Group your songs and drag them into any order you like. - The same song can sit in several playlists. - Deleting a playlist never deletes the songs themselves. ■ Background playback - Playback continues when you close the app or turn off the screen. - Play, pause, skip, and seek from the lock screen. ■ Range loop - Press "A" and "B" while playing to mark the section. - Fine-tune each end down to the second with the slider. - The range is saved per song, so it is still there next time you open it. - When no range is set, you can repeat one song or all songs instead. ■ Song details, read automatically - The title, artist, album, and artwork embedded in the file are read and shown for you. - You can also rename any song yourself. ■ Pricing - The core features are free. The free version lists up to 3 songs. - A single one-time purchase makes the number of songs unlimited. - No subscription. Buy once, keep it. - Use "Restore purchase" when you move to a new device. ■ Privacy - No account required. - No ads, no usage tracking. - Your audio is never sent anywhere. Playback happens entirely on your device. ■ Before you start - This app does not include any audio. Please have your own files ready. - Moving, deleting, or renaming an original file breaks the link. Just register it again if that happens. - Playable formats follow what your device supports. - Files without tags (such as WAV) are shown by file name.
