Troubleshooting ​

Can't Find Music Files? ​

Check these locations:

  • Files app → Downloads folder
  • Files app → Music folder
  • Music app → Downloaded songs (not cloud)

File Won't Import? ​

Common causes:

  • File is DRM-protected → Purchase instead of streaming
  • File is in iCloud only → Download locally first
  • Unsupported format → Convert to MP3 or M4A
  • File is corrupted → Try re-downloading

Import Button Greyed Out? ​

Try:

  • Check file is downloaded (no cloud icon ☁️)
  • Ensure file format is supported
  • Restart the app
  • Check storage space on device

Tips for Best Results ​

✅ Use High-Quality Files ​

  • FLAC or WAV for best quality
  • High-bitrate MP3 (320 kbps) works great
  • Better quality = better chord detection and stem separation

✅ Organize Your Files ​

  • Keep music in dedicated folder
  • Use clear file names
  • Delete duplicates

✅ Download Before Importing ​

  • Make sure files are stored locally
  • Not just in cloud storage
  • Check for cloud icon ☁️ - should not be present
