How-to / FLAC
How to play FLAC files on iPhone. Copy, import, play. No conversion
To play FLAC on iPhone, copy the files to your phone with AirDrop, iCloud Drive or the Files app, import them into VibeDeck Player and press play. There is nothing to convert, no internet is needed and there are no ads. The same steps work on iPad.
The Music app on iPhone does not add FLAC files to your library, so many guides tell you to convert everything first. You do not have to. A player that opens FLAC directly keeps your lossless files exactly as they are and still gives you an EQ, pitch and tempo.

Good to know
- Storage: FLAC files are bigger than MP3, so check free space before you copy a large collection.
- Mixed library: MP3 and WAV play in the same queue as your FLAC files.
- Streaming tracks: songs inside streaming apps cannot be opened by other apps. VibeDeck plays files you own.
