Help / Getting started

First launch

No account needed. On first launch, Muliber offers to add the music on your phone or connect a cloud or server, then opens your library right away.

Add the music on your phone

  1. Open Muliber and tap Get started.
  2. On the Music on your phone? screen, tap Find music.
  3. Allow access to music in the Android dialog.
  4. Check the folders with music. The Music folder is already expanded: if it holds voice messages from messaging apps, uncheck their folders.
  5. Tap Apply at the bottom of the screen.
  6. If Find covers in folders is on, Android asks for access to the Music folder. Tap Use this folder, then Allow. This lets Muliber see the pictures stored next to your music.

If Muliber finds a media server on your home network that doesn't ask for a password, it appears on the Music on your phone? screen under Also found on the home network. A checked server is connected together with the music on your phone. Uncheck it if you don't need it.

Connect a cloud or server

If your music isn't on your phone, tap Cloud and servers on the Music on your phone? screen and choose where it lives. Steps for each option are in How to connect storage.

If you tap Not now, Muliber opens without music. You can come back to the choice in Library: it shows Where's your music? with On this phone and Cloud and servers.

While your library is being built

After Apply, Library opens. While Muliber reads your files, a Building the library… bar at the top shows how many tracks it has found so far. Albums appear as they're found, so there's no need to wait for the end.

Below the bar, Where else is your music? lets you connect a server on your home network or a cloud right away, or download music By link.

When the first albums appear, Muliber shows the Music recognition notice once: in the background, it refines names and covers using open music databases. Tap Got it. Read more in Names and covers.

Play your first album

  1. In Library, tap an album.
  2. Tap the orange ▶ button below the title. The crossed arrows button to its left plays the tracks in random order.

A mini player appears at the bottom. Tap it to open the Player tab.

Where things are

  • Player: what's playing now. Next time you open Muliber, your last album is waiting here, paused.
  • Library: all your music by album, artist, and track. How to find things there is in Albums, artists, and covers.
  • Radio: internet radio stations. Read more in Internet radio.
  • Favorites: favorite tracks, albums, artists, playlists, and stations.

The search icon at the top of every tab opens search, and ⚙ next to it opens settings.
