It would be nice if Apple removed this limitation but I doubt they will since that can be used to steal music and they have a music store that they want you to subscribe to.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Current details online show examples of only documents and pictures being downloaded to apple device through Files app on IOS 11. I am curious about mp3 files being transferred from the cloud and downloaded to device through Files app.
Best way to get an MP3 file in the Music app on iPhone is by downloading it on your Mac, importing to iTunes, and syncing with your phone. Not the easiest way; hopefully it will get better in later updates. For now, SYC or SYC 2 is a good piece of Mac software to get music from Youtube or Soundcloud really easily.
I’m not sure about this.
I’m a stickler when it comes to music and I wouldn’t want to play them one by one. The native player in the Files app doesn’t support continuous play, therefore is not interesting to me.
I absolutely agree. It can be done, Apple could have added these old options back easily, a click. You pay for Song/Album, then pay to get off your iCloud, which you pay for extra storage(if) but you have to join Apple Music and pay again because (download-funny) Offline means paying your rent until you move out, or can’t listen to music you paid for, and paid for in Cloud. Next, monthly fee to “unlock” if lock & fee for screen landscape.
Apple offline....Rent.

The “files app” is actually useless, as nothing shows up there. I don’t understand what all the hype was about.
