Search and Sort a Local Music Library
Mi Music gathers audio saved on the phone into a library that can be viewed by song, video, artist, album, or folder. The search field at the top helps narrow a large collection by song, performer, album, or playlist, so a listener can get to a familiar track without browsing every folder. This arrangement is useful for mixed collections copied from several devices or downloaded for travel.
The local-player view can be sorted by title, adding time, or times played. Recent items, Favorites, and the Playlists area make repeat listening easier, while the compact library layout keeps common destinations visible. Listeners who prefer offline audio can stay inside the device library and use the same browsing tools before pressing play.
Playlists, Favorites, and Quick Listening
A playlist can turn scattered tracks into a queue for a commute, workout, or relaxed evening. Mi Music keeps Favorites, Playlists, and Recently played close to the library, allowing a listener to save a preferred song, return to a familiar collection, or pick up where a previous session ended. The layout is simple enough for quick choices but still useful when a phone holds many albums.
Shuffle playback adds an easy way to vary a session without arranging every track by hand. The mini-player remains available at the bottom of the library with the current item and play controls, so moving between folders and the active queue does not require leaving the listening context. These tools suit casual listening as well as repeatable personal routines.
Player Controls for Everyday Playback
The player combines the controls needed for ordinary listening with options for a more tailored session. Play, pause, next, previous, looping, and shuffle cover the main flow, while the queue keeps upcoming tracks visible. A listener can also mark a song as a favorite, open lyrics when available, download eligible online audio, or adjust the session with audio effects and a sleep timer.
These controls are useful when listening changes during the day. A short playlist can run in order, a long collection can be mixed, and a bedtime session can stop on a timer. Sharing and ringtone options are available from the extra menu, giving the player practical choices beyond simply starting or stopping a song.
Online Discovery and Account Shortcuts
Mi Music combines device-stored tracks with connected music discovery, so the same app can serve a personal collection and an online listening habit. Its online catalog and curated areas help listeners browse popular, new, live, classic, jazz, heavy metal, or K-pop selections, while local playback remains available for files already on the phone. Availability can depend on connectivity and service conditions.
The side menu brings Xiaomi Account, Settings, FAQ and feedback, User Agreement, and Privacy Policy into one place. An account can support synchronization features such as plays, favorites, downloads, or sharing, while settings provide a route to playback and recommendation preferences. This makes the app suitable for listeners who want discovery, organization, and account controls in one familiar workspace.
