OpenGroove bündelt deine Audiodateien und freigegebene Titel der iPhone-Musikmediathek in einer übersichtlichen Musikbibliothek – ohne OpenGroove-Benutzerkonto. Importiere Musik aus Apples Dateien-App oder gib Musikordner einschließlich ihrer Unterordner frei. Über „Musikquellen“ kannst du außerdem die Mediathek der Musik-App verbinden. Suche nach Titeln, Interpreten und Alben, erstelle Playlists und markiere deine Favoriten. Funktionen: • Audiodateien importieren und freigegebene Musikordner erneut scannen • iPhone-Musikmediathek nach deiner ausdrücklichen Freigabe einbinden • Titel, Interpreten und Alben durchsuchen • Alben nach Disc- und Tracknummer abspielen, sofern diese Angaben vorhanden sind • Playlists, Favoriten, Shuffle und Wiederholung • Abspielliste bearbeiten und Titel als Nächstes oder ans Ende einfügen • Wiedergabeposition und Abspielliste nach einem Neustart wiederherstellen • Sleep-Timer und anpassbare Mindestlänge für kurze Audiodateien • Lokale Dateien verschieben, umbenennen oder löschen • Titel und freigegebene Ordner dauerhaft ausschließen • Metadaten manuell ergänzen oder auf Wunsch online nach Titelangaben und Covern suchen • Bibliothek, Playlists und Metadaten sichern und wiederherstellen iOS schützt die privaten Speicherbereiche anderer Apps. WhatsApp-Audio kannst du über „Teilen“ in „Dateien“ speichern und anschließend importieren oder den dortigen Ordner freigeben. OpenGroove durchsucht ausschließlich seinen App-Speicher, deine freigegebenen Musikordner und die verbundene Musikmediathek. Bei Mediathek-Titeln bleiben Metadatenänderungen in OpenGroove; die Originale in Apples Musikmediathek werden nicht verändert. Geschützte oder nur online verfügbare Titel werden über Apples Musikplayer abgespielt. Dafür können Internetzugang und ein aktives Apple-Music-Abo erforderlich sein. Mediathek-Audio wird nicht in OpenGroove-Backups kopiert. Optionale Metadaten- und Coverabfragen nutzen MusicBrainz, Cover Art Archive und Apple iTunes Search. Lokale Audiodateien lassen sich ohne diese Online-Abfragen abspielen. Keine Werbung und kein Tracking.
