Support

1. Make sure your iPhone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. In sPlayer, open Settings → Wi-Fi File Transfer and turn on Enable File Server.
3. The app shows an address such as http://192.168.1.42:8080. Type it into a browser on your computer.
4. Drag your music files or folders onto the page. You can also create folders, rename and delete from there.
5. Turn the server off when you're done.

The first time you use it, iOS will ask for permission to find devices on your local network — this is required for your computer to reach the phone.

In the Files app, go to On My iPhone → sPlayer and paste your music in. Anything you drop there — including folders — is picked up. If new files don't appear immediately, open Settings → Scan Now in sPlayer.

MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, AIFC, CAF and MP4. M4B is the usual audiobook format, so audiobooks work too.

OGG, Opus and WMA are not supported, because iOS cannot decode them. Convert those to one of the formats above before transferring.

Put a lyrics file in the same folder as the song, with the same name. Both LRC and WebVTT are supported:

• Yesterday.mp3 → Yesterday.lrc
• Yesterday.mp3 → Yesterday.vtt

For lyrics to scroll in time with the music, the file needs timestamps — a plain block of text will not sync.

Yes. Add a language tag between the name and the extension, and sPlayer will pick whichever is closest to your app or device language:

• Yesterday.en.lrc
• Yesterday.en-GB.vtt
• Yesterday.zh-Hans.lrc

An untagged file, such as Yesterday.lrc, always wins if it exists.

That is only the starting point. With more than one language present, a globe button appears beside the lyrics: pick which one to read, and optionally a second language to show underneath each line. Both choices are remembered per song.

Turn on Settings → Lyrics → Show Lyrics in Now Playing. You can choose which field the current line is written into — the title, artist, album, or drawn onto the artwork itself, which is the most readable option in the car.

Turn on Settings → Lyrics → Keep Screen On for Lyrics. Auto-lock is then suspended while the lyrics view is open, and restored as soon as you close it.

Put them in their own folder — say Audiobooks — which automatically becomes a playlist. Then, on the Playlists tab, press and hold that playlist and choose Hide from Library.

Its tracks disappear from Songs, Albums, Artists and search, on your phone and in CarPlay, but the playlist itself still plays them normally. Choose Show in Library to undo it.

• Folder playlists mirror the folders in your library and update themselves whenever you add or remove files.
• Manual playlists are the ones you build yourself. Press and hold any song, album or artist to add it.

• Open Settings → Scan Now to rescan immediately.
• Check the file format is one of the supported types listed above.
• If the songs are in a folder you previously hid, they will be missing from the Library tab by design — check the Playlists tab.

Use the A–Z rail down the right edge of the list — tap a letter or slide your finger along it. Titles in Chinese, Japanese and Korean are filed under their reading, so 安静 appears under A and さくら under S.

Yes. Open the full player, tap the ••• button and choose Sleep Timer — 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. The icon turns into a moon while the timer is running, and tapping Off cancels it.

Tap the list button in the player to see Up Next, where you can reorder or remove upcoming songs. Press and hold any song in your library for Play Next and Add to Queue.

Yes — ask Siri to play a song, album or playlist from your library. If Siri asks which app to use, choose sPlayer once and it will remember.

Two phrases work with nothing to set up: “Continue in sPlayer” and “Shuffle everything in sPlayer”.

Siri can take a little while to learn the names of newly added artists and playlists. If it mishears one just after a big transfer, leave the phone charging overnight and try again.
