Music Servers

Your server. Your music. Inside MPX.

MPX lets you bring music from personal servers and storage you already use into the same library, EQ, playlists, queues, visualizers, and CarPlay experience.

  • Browse supported servers directly inside MPX
  • Download before playback for the full MPX listening experience
  • Import through Apple Files without an MPX-owned cloud
Direct Server Connections

Connect directly inside MPX

MPX supports direct in-app browsing for Jellyfin, Navidrome, Airsonic, and compatible Subsonic servers.

Connect → browse → choose music → download → listen in MPX

  • MPX browses supported servers directly in the app
  • Selected music is downloaded before playback
  • MPX does not currently stream server tracks directly
  • Downloaded tracks become part of the normal MPX listening experience
Files and Connected Storage

Import through Apple Files

MPX also works with storage already exposed through Apple Files, including iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, compatible NAS or network locations, and other providers available there.

Google Drive, Dropbox, and NAS access are through Apple's Files interface, not direct MPX integrations.

  • iCloud Drive
  • Google Drive
  • Dropbox
  • Compatible NAS and network locations
  • Other providers exposed through Files
Why Download First

Make server music part of everyday listening.

Downloading first means music from your personal servers can use the full MPX experience instead of a limited playback path.

  • EQ
  • Playlists and queues
  • Visualizers
  • Transitions
  • CarPlay
  • Offline playback
No Proprietary MPX Cloud

Keep the collection under your control.

Your collection does not need to be uploaded to an MPX-owned cloud.

MPX is built to work with the music sources and storage paths you already use, whether that means local files, Apple Files providers, or supported personal music servers.
