How to set it up

• 1Install Raza Songs on your Mac and point it at your music folders
• 2It indexes the tags already on your files — title, artist, album, genre — and leaves everything exactly where it is
• 3Start the server so it's discoverable on your home network
• 4Install Raza Songs on your iPhone or iPad and open it
• 5Your library appears automatically — no login, no IP address, no manual sync

What you get instead of a subscription

• One-time purchase — nothing recurring, nothing that stops working if you cancel
• Your own files, not a catalog that can lose licensing for an album overnight
• Grid or list browsing, filtered by artist, album, genre, language, or release year
• An immersive Now Playing view, and a daily welcome screen when nothing's playing
• Playlists shared with everyone in the house, not locked to one phone

Don't have your music in files yet?

If your collection is still on CDs, or scattered across old downloads, it's worth turning into an actual library first — properly tagged files are what make browsing by artist or album possible at all.
