How to combine songs from different sources on iPhone

Keep recordings and imported files in one local playlist.

Quick answer

Listen to one playlist without switching between apps.

Record or import the audio into TuneTrace, then add the saved tracks to one playlist. Open that playlist to listen continuously offline.

Common questions

Can I paste a NetEase Cloud Music or QQ Music playlist link?

Playlist links cannot be imported directly. Record the songs or import audio files first, then add them to a TuneTrace playlist.

Can one song belong to several playlists?

Yes. Use the same saved track in playlists for commuting, exercise, or bedtime without importing it again.

How do I remove a song from just this playlist?

Choose “Remove from Playlist” from its menu. The song stays in your Library.
