Private by design
No accounts, no ads and no tracking in the app. Your files stay on your device.

A straight answer about protected files
Apple Music downloads (M4P) and Audible files (AA, AAX) are locked by their sellers, and no legitimate player can unlock them. On Mac, iPhone and iPad you can connect Apple Music and play your subscription through Apple. Anything you own without the lock, including Apple Lossless, AAC and M4B audiobooks, plays directly.

Questions
Is JayPlay free?
Yes. There are no ads, accounts or subscriptions.
Does it play Apple Music songs?
On Mac, iPhone and iPad you can connect your Apple Music subscription and play it through Apple's own player. On Windows and Android, protected Apple Music files can't be played. Songs you own without protection play everywhere.
Does it play Audible books?
Audible's AA and AAX files are locked to Audible's apps, so JayPlay shows a clear message instead of an error. Audiobooks without the lock, such as M4B and MP3, play with chapters, a sleep timer and resume.
Do my files get uploaded?
No. JayPlay plays files on your device. It only goes online for a link you open yourself, or for Apple Music if you connect it.
Why does Windows warn me about the installer?
Windows may show a SmartScreen notice for new apps that have no publisher certificate yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The published checksum lets you confirm the file is ours.
How do I install the Android app?
Download the APK, open it and allow your browser to install apps when Android asks.
