[if you have knowledge of a simpler one, please contact us]
In the iPhone App Store, search for “file manager master browser”.
Then scroll down to [what is currently] the third entry, which reads as File Manager, with the words ‘media player’ beneath.
Click on this and confirm that the developer’s name is Fujjian Wenzhigae [to guarantee you are getting the correct app].
Download and open this app.
Go to the browser [third] tab on the bottom navigation bar, and use this browser to navigate to and login to your Chord Perfect account.
Navigate to your account / downloads.
Press on any purchased audio .mp3 you wish to download – it will open in a new window.
Ignore any plug-in error messages, and press the download icon at the bottom of the screen – a new download window will open – you can give the file a new, appropriate name, and decide where to place the file in the apps directory structure.
Once downloaded, you can find the file under the folders tab on the navigation bar.
If you press on the edit button at the top right of the screen, and then press and hold on the file, a menu will pop up.
Click “open in”, then select “Save to files” from the lower row of options.
Select a directory of your own choice for the destination, then press “add” at the top right of the screen.
You can now open the Files app on you iPhone, and either play the downloaded file from the native player with your iPhone’s Files app, or use a third-party player such as VLC.
