Music through BitTorrent

Choose a netlabel release from Internet Archive or add your own magnet link or .torrent file. The music appears in your library alongside your other albums.

Open BitTorrent

  1. Open Settings → Sources.
  2. Choose BitTorrent under Internet.

There are three actions here: Paste a magnet link, Choose a .torrent file, and Internet Archive.

Choose an Internet Archive release

  1. On the BitTorrent page, tap Internet Archive.
  2. Enter a title or name in Album or artist.
  3. Tap a release in the search results.
  4. Tap Add to library. Muliber checks the release and opens its album page.
  5. Tap the play button on the album page.

If you've already added the album, the button is Open album instead.

Netlabels release music online. Muliber shows Internet Archive releases whose licenses allow use in the app.

Tip. You can open a release's page and license in Settings → About → Music licenses.

  1. Copy a magnet link to the music you want to add.
  2. On the BitTorrent page, tap Paste a magnet link.
  3. Wait for the check. Muliber shows the music it found before adding it.
  4. For one album, tap Add to library. If there are several albums, tap Choose albums, select the ones you want, and confirm.

Add a .torrent file

  1. On the BitTorrent page, tap Choose a .torrent file.
  2. In the Android picker, choose a .torrent file from Downloads or another folder.
  3. Wait for the contents to be checked and add the album to your library. If there are several, select the ones you want with Choose albums.

Heads up. Muliber doesn't search third-party trackers for torrents. You provide the magnet link or .torrent file yourself.

Why Internet Archive is here

BitTorrent transfers files between people participating in a torrent. Internet Archive uses it to distribute releases, so the archive is on the same page as your links and files.

An archive release can play from an Internet Archive server or through BitTorrent. Muliber picks an available path, and your library shows one album. Without a matching torrent, music plays from the archive server.

If checking or playback won't start

Check your internet connection. A magnet link or .torrent needs participants who have the data you want. If nobody responds, try later. If a check fails, tap Retry on the BitTorrent page.

If Internet Archive doesn't respond, try searching again later.

Heads up. Adding an album to your library doesn't save its files to your phone. To listen without a connection, save the music to your device.
