Playing Music
Play your Music, Podcasts or Audiobooks with FileBrowser for Education on iPhone/iPad, queue up tracks, adjust playback speed or cast your music to Airplay or Chromecast enabled speakers.
Tapping a music file will queue it and any other music tracks in order from the current folder to your "now playing" queue. For example, tapping track 3 will queue tracks 3-9 of Alice In Chains Dirt album.
Tapping another music track from another folder will clear your play queue and add these instead.
After you have played music you can access the media player via the music icon in the bottom toolbar.
FileBrowser for Education can play most music file types including MP3, M4a, Wav, Hi-Res Flac.
