Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app

  It’s not. I use my Windows 10 video game machine to drag and drop MP3s onto my iPhone from my 400GB library. I use iTunes to do it (but I listen using Foobar2000 on my computer, I only use iTunes to put music on my phone and make iPhone incremental image backups.)

  I wish I could drag and drop FLAC files, but I can easily convert them. I do t use my really nice cans on my phone anyway.

    Look into PlexAmp for lossless streaming. It’s pretty dope.

      I do have Apple Music for lossless streaming! But I do still load obscure things on my phone that don’t exist there. Which is shockingly few things, to my surprise.

        I keep Apple Music too, because it does offer a lot of value for the price. The inclusion of Classical makes it a no-brainer for me.

  Nothing

  • You can import music from itunes, if you like doing it the old way.
  • There are a crap ton of media player apps with ability to connect to self hosted or cloud storages. Many are single payment and others are open source. One good one is nPlayer.
  • You can put mp3 on the native files app and just tap on it.

  The article is just misleading ragebait turned into an excuse to show their app and things about iOS development.

    Apples own Music app (without Apple Music subscription), VLC, PlexAmp…

    It’s not hard if you look.

    My solution: vmware fusion or vbox with windows installed and running winamp.

      …so you’re one of those people who seeks out overly complex and convoluted solutions for the sake of being different.

        Maybe it’s just that I am in IT and the problem isn’t that difficult fore to begin with.
