Music without internet

Music saved to your device plays wherever the internet is missing, slow or expensive. The cache saves data when you replay tracks, but its copies are temporary.

Save an album or track

  1. Connect to the internet. If your music is on a home server, connect to your home Wi-Fi.
  2. Open an album and tap ↓.
  3. Check the folder and file, then tap Save.
  4. Wait for saving to finish. Saved tracks are marked with a check icon.

A single track saves right away: open ⋮ and choose Save to device. To pick a folder or file first, tap the folder icon at the end of that row.

Files go to Music/Muliber/ on your phone by default. The folder you choose when saving is remembered for the next copies. You can also change it in Settings → Saving. If the folder is on an SD card or USB drive, keep it connected, or the music on it won't play.

Muliber copies the file without converting it. Music that's already on your phone doesn't need saving: it plays without a connection anyway.

Tip. On mobile data, Muliber asks whether saving may use it. To stop the question, turn on Save over mobile data in Settings → Saving.

Find music that plays without a connection

  1. Open Library.
  2. Choose the Available offline filter.

This shows music on your phone, saved copies and tracks that are fully in the cache.

What stays in the cache

When music plays from a storage or a server, Muliber keeps a copy of the track in the cache. Once a track is fully downloaded, you can play it again without a connection. It shows a lightning icon in the track list, and a progress ring while it's downloading.

When the cache fills up, newer tracks replace older ones. So don't count on the cache in advance: save the music you'll definitely need offline.

You can turn the cache off for a single storage: Settings → Sources → the storage → Keep played tracks offline. New tracks from it stop going into the cache. Copies already downloaded can be deleted right away or kept until newer tracks replace them.

Heads up. Internet radio doesn't play without a connection: a broadcast goes neither into the cache nor into saved music.

Free up space

To clear the cache, open Settings → Cache → Clear cache. Your library and saved files stay, and cached tracks load from their storage again the next time you play them.

To remove a saved copy, choose Delete from device in the album or track menu. This deletes the file from your device, rather than just removing its label in the library. The copy in your cloud or on your server stays.
