Audio player

Stream your favorite songs from the cloud or download albums and tracks to listen to them offline. The smart and beautiful media player organizes folders into playlists with the ability to shuffle and loop your favorite tracks.

Documents supports aac, .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .amr, .au, .l16, .m3u, .m4a, .m4b, .m4p, .mp3, .pcm, .wav, and .flac audio file formats.

There are multiple ways you can add audio files to Documents:

• Add files using the plus button at the bottom right inside the needed folder or My Filessection
• Download them from our built-in browser (choose the needed folder in the Save to: field)
• Share files from other apps to Documents
• Stream music from any cloud storage connected to Documents without downloading it
• Extract audio from video files inside the app

By default, files in folders are sorted by Name (A to Z) and are played in this order. However, there are three ways you can arrange the queue:

1. Arrange files by Name, Date, or Size

1. Open the needed folder in Documents.
2. Tap ... at the top.
3. Select the preferred option and enjoy the music.

2. Shuffle audio files 

Documents allows for shuffling audio files in a folder so that they are played in a randomized order. To shuffle audio files, do the following:

1. Open the needed folder in Documents.
2. Tap any track to activate the media player.
3. Tap the player tab at the bottom, then tap the Shuffle button.

3. Arrange files into a queue 

You can also manually arrange the queue of songs according to your mood and create temporary "playlists" (the queue exists until you close the player). To arrange the queue, follow these steps:

1. Tap any track to activate the media player.
2. Tap the player tab at the bottom.
3. SelectNext track at the bottom of the player.
4. Drag the three lines next to a song to the needed position in your queue.

To remove a song from the queue, tapNext track at the bottom, swipe left over a song, and tap the icon on the red background.

Though Documents takes folders as playlists, you can also mix audio files from multiple folders to create a temporary queue (it exists until you close the player). To add audio files from other folders to the queue, do as follows:

1. Open the needed folder in Documents and tap any track to activate the media player.
2. Tap the player tab at the bottom and switch from the Player tab to the Library tab.
3. Tap the More icon ... next to the needed audio file and selectPlay Next (the track will be played next after the one currently playing) orAdd to Queue (the track will appear at the end of the queue).
4. Swipe down to close the More menu and switch back to the Player tab. If needed, drag the newly added song to a new position. That's it!

• To pause and play, tap the button in the center/.

There are also some additional helpful options in the Documents Settings> Audio Player. There, you can select the Lock Screen Player (Skip Forward/Backward type comes in handy while listening to audiobooks and podcasts), toggle-on and -off the Save audio position option, and select the preferred Skip step.

Documents supports the option to listen to audio files when the app is in the background or the screen is locked. If the music stops when the screen is locked, open Documents settings> General > disable iOS data protection toggle. Check out our article to troubleshoot the cases when the music stops.
