独听 plays only the music files you already have. No ads, no recommendations, no social features. Put your music in the app and it simply plays. ◆ Listen by folder Your library mirrors your folder structure — listen to the way you organized it. You can also browse by songs, albums, artists and playlists. ◆ Common formats, played as they are MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, AAC, AIFF, OGG and other common audio formats play directly. Lossless files keep their original quality; nothing is converted online. ◆ Lyrics Lyrics embedded in the audio file are read first; a matching .lrc file beside the song also works, with encoding detected automatically. Line-by-line highlight and auto-scroll included. ◆ Four ways to get music in · Local import: straight from the Files app or the Finder · Wi-Fi transfer: upload from a browser on the same network · AirDrop, or "Open in 独听" from another app · Network import (Pro): connect to your own WebDAV server, browse it and bring the files into your library ◆ Equalizer (Pro) 10-band graphic equalizer with built-in presets, preamp gain and channel balance. Tune each band, and save your own presets to switch between them. ◆ Playback controls Speed, sleep timer, background playback, control from the Lock Screen and Control Center. iPhone and iPad get a large landscape now-playing view. ◆ Favorites and playlists Keep what you play most in Favorites; playback continues across folders too. ◆ Mac version Reworked for large screens: sidebar navigation, two-column layout, window toolbar and keyboard shortcuts. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. — Pro (one-time purchase) — Equalizer, batch folder import, network import (WebDAV), duplicate detection and display, video to audio, playback across folders, per-folder resume, use on Mac. — Free forever — Local import, Wi-Fi transfer, local playback, lyrics, speed, sleep timer, favorites, browsing, Lock Screen controls. 独听 is not an online music service: there is no catalog to browse, no music search and no downloading. It plays only the audio files you already own.
