Docs/Adding a Library Folder
Adding a Library Folder
Icoustic does not invent a cloud locker. You pick folders; it indexes what’s inside.
Add a source
- Open Sources.
- Tap Add Folder.
- Choose a folder through the system document picker (On My iPad, iCloud Drive, or another location you’ve connected).
- Icoustic saves a security-scoped bookmark so it can reopen that folder later.
What gets scanned
Icoustic looks for DRM-free MP3, FLAC, and M4A/AAC files. DRM-protected subscription downloads are out of scope. Plain purchased M4A files work fine.
Artwork
Artwork comes from embedded tags when present, or from cover.jpg / folder.jpg in the album folder.
Tips
- Prefer one root folder (or a few) rather than dozens of tiny picks.
- iCloud Drive files may need to download before first play — Icoustic treats “not downloaded yet” as a normal state.
- Removing a source from Icoustic does not delete your files.
