Gapless playback for your own music on iPhone

Live albums, DJ mixes and many classical recordings are supposed to flow from one track into the next without a pause. bMusic keeps that transition continuous for supported local files.

Gapless playback matters whenever track boundaries are organizational rather than musical. An inserted pause can break applause, ambience, a beat-matched transition or a continuous movement even though the underlying album was mastered without one.

bMusic is designed around album playback as well as individual songs, so gapless transitions are part of the normal player rather than a special mode.

  • Gapless local playback
  • FLAC, ALAC, MP3 and other supported formats
  • Album repeat and album-aware shuffle options
  • Reorderable Up Next queue
  • Works offline after import

Useful beyond audiophile listening

The most obvious cases are live records and continuous mixes, but gapless playback also matters for concept albums, soundtrack suites, ambient records and multi-movement classical works.

Because bMusic plays local files, you can keep the exact album version you own even when streaming services expose a different remaster or track sequence.
