In 2025, playing your own music on an iPhone is surprisingly hard, unless you pay Apple or navigate a maze of limitations. So I built my own player from scratch, with full text search, iCloud support, and a local-first experience. GitHub link Why I Built My Own Audio Player Like many people, I’ve pi...

It’s not hard at all. Import your mp3 into iTunes library and it’s there. What’s so complicated about that?
- You need to use an external device to do that, making it extremely convoluted and annoying to do.
  
  USB’s are pretty easy to use…am I missing something? Assuming the file you want to import didn’t originate on the computer you would have to import from an external device via email or usb. It’s really not that complicated and I’m not sure why you are over exaggerating the complexity of the issue.
  
  It's 2025. You shouldn't need an external device to manage the files of the already perfectly-capable device that's in your pocket. I manage to do so just fine with my Android. I can download whatever media I want directly to it and play said media with whatever player app I choose.
- That work on Linux?
  
  I guess what I’m missing then is that this was a Linux circlejerk thread. My mistake I’ll shut up now.
  
  There are some Linux users with iPhones, perhaps that's what they meant?
- Maybe nobody at Apple actually does quality assurance on that feature anymore because they think nobody still uses it.
