Play Your Music

Features
Read full description

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.

DrillLoop - Practice Loop Player Turn any video or audio into a focused practice session. --- 【Practice the hard parts, not the whole thing】 Learning a guitar riff, breaking down a dance combination, studying a technique, or shadowing a language lesson often comes down to practicing the same few seconds again and again. But constantly dragging the timeline, replaying sections, and changing the playback speed gets in the way. DrillLoop is built specifically for focused, repetitive practice. Mark the part you want to work on, save it, loop it, slow it down, and practice without interruptions. Turn the parts you struggle with into dedicated practice sessions. --- 【Practice Clips】 Mark start and end points in any video or audio and save them as practice clips. Name your clips and build your own practice library. Create multiple clips from the same content for different techniques, difficult sections, or stages of practice. Open a clip and start practicing right away. 【Variable Speed】 Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 4x. Slow things down to hear every note, understand every movement, or break down a technique. Then gradually speed up until you can keep up with the original pace. Save a different playback speed for each clip. 【A/B Loop】 Don't want to create a clip? Simply set A and B points and loop any section instantly. Perfect for quickly drilling a specific movement, rhythm, phrase, or detail. 【Practice Tracking】 Your practice time is recorded automatically. Review your practice by day, week, or month to see how much time you're actually putting into each piece of content. Less guessing. More knowing. 【iCloud Sync】 Turn on iCloud Sync to keep your clips, settings, and practice history in sync across your devices. Create a practice clip on your iPhone and continue on your iPad. Your practice goes wherever you do. --- 【Made for anything worth repeating】 * Instruments: guitar, piano, guqin, drums, and more * Dance: movement breakdowns and combinations * Martial arts: forms and techniques * Sports: skills and technique drills * Language: shadowing, pronunciation, and listening * Singing: songs, vocal exercises, and technique * Fitness: movement learning and training If you need to watch or listen to something again and again, DrillLoop helps you practice with less friction and more focus. --- Import your content. Find the hard part. Loop it. Master it. DrillLoop - Make every repetition count. DrillLoop Pro Some features — including unlimited media imports, unlimited practice clips, full practice history, and iCloud Sync — require a DrillLoop Pro subscription or one-time purchase, available through in-app purchase.
