Of course I had to download and install the foobar2K software on the iPhone first. I will not stream music or use iTunes so it was a pleasure to see how easy it was to establish connectivity to the iPhone using foobar2k's FTP utility. Thank you for forwarding the tip from Alessandro, it was spot on. I know Foobar is popular around here so thanks for any thoughts. It seems you cant drag and drop files onto the free space of IOS, but actually need a specific app and file structure to open anything and everything on an iPhone? Maybe its time for a Samsung.Īll I am trying to do is to have a lean, mean, quick playlist capable machine where I can playback WAV or other audio files, with or without access to WiFi or mobile data, without heaviness and restrictiveness of iTunes, my iTunes library, and / or any particular iTunes account and while using less battery. (Anywhere within my 100 GB's of free space would be fine but even this step was like putting a man on the moon.)ģ) Get the Foobar app to find / locate / see and play the file.Īfter 2 hours, the only thing Apple was able to propose was for me toĪ) reactivate my files folder / icon and toī) download GarageBand to create a folder to receive the file.Īt last, I was able to at least see the music file in the GarageBand folder, and click on it to play, but not through Foobar.

This was the goal:ġ) Download Foobar2000 to my iPhone (Seems to work.)Ģ) Download and test an MP4 music file from an email to my iPhone.

But it's going to be hard.īecause I have just spent 2 hours with Apple tech support to no avail, trying to simply transfer a file from an email to my phone. I'll do my best here to not rant about the alleged 'ease' 'convenience!' 'ecosystem!' and / or 'just get a Mac!' chorus through the years.
