How do I get my music onto Spindle?

Connect your iPhone to a computer, open it in Finder (or Apple Devices on Windows), go to Files → Spindle, and drag your music folders — including any .m3u playlists — into it. Reopen Spindle and your songs, playlists, art, and tags import automatically. You can also import directly on device from the Sync screen.

Which formats are supported?

MP3, M4A/AAC, ALAC, FLAC, WAV, and AIFF.

How does the jogwheel work?

Turn it to scrub or scroll. Tap the center to switch between Scrub and Queue. Long-press to open or close the Library. In the Library, turn to move the highlight, tap the center to select, and tap the left/right edges for back/forward.

A song shows the wrong title or artist

Titles come from the file’s embedded tags; when a file has none, Spindle uses the filename and folder name. Re-tagging the file on your computer and re-importing will update it.

Some covers are missing

Spindle uses embedded art first, then a cover image in the song’s folder. For anything still missing, open Settings → Fetch missing artwork online.
