Add Your Music

Via Music app or Files app

Songs that can be analyzed

  • DRM-free audio files stored locally in the Music app on your iPhone
  • Audio files in a folder linked from the Files app (stored locally on your device)
  • Songs synced from your computer into the Music app
  • Songs purchased from the iTunes Store and stored on your device
  • Common non-DRM formats (e.g., MP3, AAC/M4A, WAV)
  • Not supported: Apple Music streaming (subscription tracks), iCloud-only songs, and DRM-protected content.

How to add your music

  • Both ways: your playlist appears in the Playlists tab. Tap Analyse Playlist before playback.
  • Music app — create a playlist on your iPhone.
  • Files app — in Beatrunner Pro, tap Import from Files app and choose a folder.

Via Files app

Link a folder of audio files

  1. Save audio files locally on your iPhone (e.g. On My iPhone in the Files app)
  2. In Beatrunner Pro: tap Import from Files app and choose a folder
  3. Open Beatrunner Pro — the playlist appears in the Playlists tab as Imported
  4. Tap Analyse Playlist before playback
  • DRM-protected and cloud-only files are not supported.

Via Music app

From your computer

  1. Open the Music app on Mac or iTunes on Windows and create a playlist
  2. Add your DRM-free files to that playlist (e.g., MP3, AAC/M4A, WAV)
  3. Connect your iPhone and sync that playlist to your device
    • Mac: Finder → select your iPhone → Music tab → enable sync, select playlist → Apply
    • Windows: iTunes → select your device → Music → select playlist → Sync
  4. Open Beatrunner Pro — the playlist appears in the Playlists tab
  5. Tap Analyse Playlist before playback

Already in the Music app

  1. Open the Music app on your iPhone and create a playlist
  2. Add songs from your Music library — tracks stored on your device (not from the Files app)
  3. Open Beatrunner Pro — the playlist appears in the Playlists tab
  4. Tap Analyse Playlist before playback
  • For audio files in the Files app, use Via Files app above.

iTunes Store purchases

  1. Open the Music app on your iPhone
  2. Go to Library → Purchased (or find your purchased songs)
  3. Download any tracks that aren't on your device yet (only if they show a cloud icon)
  4. Create a playlist and add those songs
  5. Open Beatrunner Pro — the playlist appears in the Playlists tab
  6. Tap Analyse Playlist before playback

Good to know

  • For iTunes Store purchases: if a song shows a cloud icon, it isn't on your device yet — download it in the Music app first
  • Music app: Beatrunner Pro shows playlists, not albums — create a playlist and add your tracks
  • Files app: add more songs to the same folder — Beatrunner Pro updates when you return to the app

FAQ

Why doesn’t streaming music work?

Beatrunner Pro analyzes tempo from locally stored audio files. DRM/streaming tracks are not supported.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Apple Watch support is optional and provides remote control and run info on your wrist.
