Prismatic Music · Import
Import your music — from Apple Music, files, and folders
Your collection is probably scattered: some in your Apple Music library, some in downloads, some in a folder tree you've curated for years. Prismatic Music pulls it into one offline library.
Prismatic Music is built for music you own — purchased downloads, ripped CDs, Bandcamp orders, DJ pools, field recordings. Import happens on-device: your files stay yours, nothing is uploaded to a cloud, and no account is created.
On iPhone and iPad, the importer can read your Apple Music library and bring over the DRM-free tracks you own, and you can add individual audio files from the Files app or any app's share sheet. On Mac, point it at a folder and it scans the whole tree — subfolders included — and builds your library from what it finds.
One honest limitation, because it trips everyone up: songs downloaded from the Apple Music streaming service are DRM-protected, and no third-party player — ours included — is allowed to play them. What imports is the music you actually own: iTunes purchases, rips, and other DRM-free files. If you cancel a streaming subscription, that music was never yours; the library you build in Prismatic Music is.
Built for real collections
Apple Music library import
On iPhone and iPad, scan your device's music library and import the DRM-free tracks you own — purchases and synced files — with their metadata.
Files and share-sheet import
Add audio from the Files app, AirDrop, or any app's share sheet. If it's on your device, it can join your library.
Folder import on Mac
Point Prismatic Music at your music folder and it scans recursively — artists, albums, and loose files across the whole tree.
Metadata that survives the trip
Titles, artists, albums, and artwork come along, and the library fills gaps where it can — so imports land organized, not as a pile of file names.
On-device and private
Import happens locally. No upload, no cloud matching, no account. Your library is a database on your device, not a profile on a server.
Every major format
MP3, AAC, FLAC, ALAC (Apple Lossless), WAV, and AIFF all import and play natively — no conversion step.
How importing works
Three routes into your library, depending on where your music lives.
- 1
Import from your Apple Music library (iPhone & iPad)
Open Prismatic Music, choose Import from Apple Music, and grant music-library access. The importer scans your library and brings over the DRM-free tracks you own, with metadata and artwork.
- 2
Add files from the Files app
Choose Import Files and pick audio files from the Files app, iCloud Drive, or a connected service — or share audio to Prismatic Music from any other app.
- 3
Scan a folder on Mac
On Mac, choose Import Folder and select your music directory. Prismatic Music walks the entire folder tree and imports everything it can play.
- 4
Play — everything's in one library
Imported music lands in one searchable library, organized by artist, album, and playlist, ready to play fully offline.
Import Your Library — FAQ
It can play the DRM-free music you own — iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, and files you've added yourself. Songs downloaded from the Apple Music streaming service are DRM-protected, and Apple doesn't allow any third-party app to play those. That's a platform rule, not an app limitation.
Two ways: save the files anywhere in the Files app and import them from Prismatic Music, or share them straight to Prismatic Music from another app (Mail, AirDrop, a cloud-drive app). Either way they join your library on the device.
On Mac, yes — pick a folder and it scans the full tree, subfolders included. On iPhone and iPad, imports come from your Apple Music library, the Files app, or the share sheet.
No. Import is entirely on-device: no cloud upload, no server-side matching, no account. Your files stay where you put them, and the library lives on your device.
The importer brings over tracks, not playlists. Once your music is in, Prismatic Music's own playlists take over — including reordering, descriptions, and smart organization of everything you've imported.
