- iPhone listeners with their own music files
- Worth noticing
- The site says processing pauses when the app leaves the foreground; cached stems have a configurable limit, set to 5 GB by default.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with music the listener already has: files can be imported from iPhone or iCloud storage, shared from another app, sent by AirDrop, copied from a Mac, or added by link. Separation is said to pause if the app leaves the foreground, while original playback continues until processing finishes. The site gives a 5 GB default cache limit and says older, less recently played stem files are removed first when storage exceeds it.
