Auris plays the music you already have on iPhone and iPad. Add single tracks or whole folders, organize them into albums and playlists, and leave the files where they are: Auris reads them from their original location, without copying them into the app. What Auris does • Gapless playback: tracks flow into each other without pauses, with queue, shuffle and repeat. • Library: albums, artists, genres, favorites and playlists, built from each file's tags. • Import: single files or whole folders. A folder becomes an album (grouped by tags) or a playlist (in filename order). • Now Playing: artwork, audio format details (codec, sample rate, bit depth, bitrate) and controls in one place. • Parametric equalizer with 5 to 15 bands. Adjust frequency, gain and Q directly on the curve. • Left and right ears: set the EQ separately for each ear, with the other ear's curve shown on the same graph. • Spectrum: show the output spectrum, or compare before and after the EQ. • Import EQ files from AutoEQ, squig.link, Peace / Equalizer APO and Wavelet GraphicEQ. Each file becomes a preset. • Balance: in Settings, lower the louder side by up to 6 dB. • Crossfeed for headphones: optional, it blends a small part of each channel into the other for a more speaker-like listening experience. • EQ presets sync with iCloud. Before you start • Auris is not a streaming service: it plays only the files you add to your device. • Files stay where they are. Removing a track from Auris does not delete the file. If you move or delete the file elsewhere, that track can no longer be played. • EQ, Balance and Crossfeed change the sound. Use EQ Bypass to hear the original at any time. • Crossfeed is designed for headphones: with speakers, leave it off.
