Common questions
Can I also lock the screen while recording?
Keep the screen awake while recording. Once the audio is saved to your Library, you can listen with the screen locked.
Does lock-screen playback need the internet?
Saved local audio does not. Online features such as finding lyrics and identifying songs still need a connection.
