Hi there! I understand that when you click on music in Evermusic, it isn’t playing, is that right? Could you tell me a bit more? For example, is the app loading the song but no sound comes out, or does it not respond at all when you tap a song? Also, are you playing music stored locally on your iPhone, or streaming from the cloud? This info will help me guide you better.

Meanwhile, here are some initial steps you can try on your iPhone with iOS 18.5:

1. Check Volume and Silent Mode:
Make sure your iPhone isn’t muted or volume set too low. Sometimes the side mute switch or volume buttons could affect playback.

2. Restart the Evermusic App:
Close the app completely by swiping it away from the app switcher and then reopen it. This can clear minor glitches.

3. Audio Engine Setting Change:
Evermusic has an option to change its audio engine which can fix playback issues:
- Open Evermusic > Go to Settings > Audio Player > Change the audio engine option (try switching from default to another available option).
This can help if the app’s internal audio handling isn’t working properly.

4. Check Permissions:
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Evermusic, and make sure it has permissions for Microphone and Local Network if those are requested.

5. Restart Your iPhone:
A reboot can often fix temporary software hiccups.

If you have already done some of these, just let me know which ones, and we can try more advanced steps. Also, if your music is from cloud sources, verifying your internet connection would be useful.

Does this sound like a good place to start?

I did everything and nothing helped. Every time i click on a song, it tries to load it and then it stops and it disappears from the miniplayer

Thanks for sharing those details about the loading and mini player disappearing issue when you try to play a song. That’s helpful to understand what's going on. The behavior you describe—where the song starts loading but then disappears from the mini player—suggests the app is failing to actually start playback after the initial loading phase.

Let's try a few targeted solutions:

1. Check Song Format Compatibility:
Are the songs you’re trying to play in a standard audio format like MP3, AAC, or WAV? Sometimes Evermusic can have trouble with unusual or corrupted files. If possible, try playing a different song that you know is in a common format.

2. Refresh the Music Library:
If your files are stored locally, try refreshing the Evermusic library to ensure the app recognizes all files properly:
- Open Evermusic Settings > Library > Refresh Library or Scan for Music.
This can help if the app’s database is out of sync with your actual files.

3. Update or Reinstall Evermusic:
It’s worth checking if there’s an app update available in the App Store. If you already have the latest version, try deleting and reinstalling the app to fix any corrupted app data.

4. Reset Audio Player Settings in Evermusic:
You mentioned you tried changing audio engine, but it might help to reset all audio-related settings:
- Go to Settings > Audio Player, and tap "Reset to Default" if available.

5. Check iOS Permissions and Background Playback:
Make sure Evermusic has permission to run in the background and access local files:
- iPhone Settings > Evermusic > enable Background App Refresh.
- Also, verify microphone/network permissions as previously mentioned.

6. Test Offline Playback:
If you’re playing music stored locally on your device, try turning off Wi-Fi and cellular data temporarily. Sometimes network interference can cause playback issues, especially with cloud-based or mixed libraries.

If these steps don’t resolve the problem, it might be something deeper with the app version or iOS compatibility. I’m going to check for any known issues or recent fixes related to your iPhone model and iOS 18.5 as well. One moment please.

Checking further:
Based on available info, others have seen Evermusic’s mini player disappear due to app bugs or library glitches, and reinstall plus library refresh tends to resolve it1 2.

Could you also tell me:
- Are your songs from a cloud service synced to Evermusic or purely local files?
- Did this problem start recently (like after an iOS update) or has it been ongoing?

These details will help narrow down the root cause before we proceed.

Why do Evermusic songs disappear from the miniplayer?
