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
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
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.

- Transitions

- Offline playback
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.
Bring music in without changing how you store it.
- Open Import Music in MPX.
- Choose Files or folders, or connect a supported music server.
- Browse and select music.
- Import or download it.
- Listen through your MPX library.
