Answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, write and include your device, iOS version, Elpee version and what you did before it happened. Write to elpee@doguyilmaz.com

How do I add music?

Open Library, then Add Music. Import Files copies audio into Elpee; Link a Folder reads music where it is, in iCloud Drive, a local folder, a server you added in Files or a cloud app's folder. New songs appear in Songs under Recently added. Picking a song that is already in your library doesn't add a second copy.

A song is missing or won't play.

Open the file in Files and make sure it downloads, then try again. iCloud can remove downloaded files to save space; Elpee keeps them in your library and asks iCloud for them again. If a linked folder moved or lost access, link it again. Settings, Library and sources, Rescan Library refreshes everything.

Can I copy music from my computer?

Connect your iPhone or iPad, open it in Finder and drop music onto Elpee under Files. It also shows in the Files app as Elpee, Music. Large copies are picked up once they finish.

Which files play?

DRM-free MP3, AAC/M4A, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis and Opus. Songs downloaded with an Apple Music subscription are protected and can't be played by Elpee.

There's no sound.

Check that playback is running, turn up the volume and check the output in Now Playing; Bluetooth or AirPlay may be sending sound elsewhere. If another app took over the audio, press Play in Elpee again.

Where does Recap come from?

Recap is built on your device from what you play in Elpee. You can also import listening history from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or Last.fm; it stays on your device.

How do I keep my music safe?

Keep a copy of your original files and any history exports before removing the app. Unlinking a folder leaves its files untouched. Elpee doesn't sync your library or history between devices.
