Choose what counts as music
Scan one folder recursively, then exclude any nested folder before importing.
Preparing for App Store release
CX Music Player for iPhone
Your music stays yours.
Choose an audio folder in Files, leave out podcasts or sound effects, and listen offline. No account, ads, subscription, analytics, tracking, or application backend.
Focused by design
A music player that gets out of the way.
CX Music Player is built for ordinary audio files you already keep in Apple's Files app—not a streaming catalog or another subscription.
Play a source or folder
Queue one folder directly or include its enabled subfolders, in predictable order.
Everything expected from a player
Play, pause, seek, skip, queue, shuffle, repeat, speed, and background playback.
Lock Screen and Control Center
Control user-started playback through familiar iOS system media controls.
Your library stays available
Selected tracks are copied into private app storage for reliable offline listening.
No business model around your listening
No account, backend, ads, analytics, tracking SDK, or music-data upload.
Three simple steps
From Files to music.
Choose a folder
Use Apple's Files picker to grant access to the directory containing your audio.
Review the scan
See the recursive folder tree and deselect podcasts, samples, or sound effects.
Press play
Browse songs or folders and keep listening when the app is in the background.
