The Music Player allows you to play your locally download music and control it via the Music Player Action. Music can be loaded by navigating to the Music Player page and clicking on the Folder icon on the right-side. From there, select the folder that has your music in it and Mix It Up will automatically load in all valid music files from that folder and all direct sub-folders. Each time music is loaded in to the Music Player, the order of the songs are randomized.
The following are the list of support music file formats:
- MP3
- WAV
- FLAC
- MP4
- M4A
- AAC
