Finding something to listen to

The Library tab is where everything you can listen to lives — meditations, music, podcasts and sleep sounds — plus the things you have saved and the ones you have made yourself. This is the tour, ending at the player.

Steps

1. 1

   Open the Library tab.

   

   You should see · Four category tiles ① across the top, then a shortcut to make your own meditation ②, your downloads ③, and rails of coaches and playlists further down.

   What it means · The four categories are the whole catalogue split by what it is for, not by who made it. Everything below them is about you — what you saved, downloaded or generated.

2. 2

   Tap a category — Meditation, for example.

   

   You should see · The full list for that category, with chips ① to switch to another one without going back, and a search box ②.

   What it means · The chips mean you do not have to return to the Library tab to change your mind. Search looks across titles and coaches, so a coach's name finds everything they have recorded.

3. 3

   Tap anything in the list to open it.

   

   You should see · The player, already loading the track. ① starts and pauses it, ② is the position — drag it to move within the track.

   What it means · Tapping a row opens the player rather than a description page: there is no separate "details" screen to read first, because the thing you came for is the audio.

4. 4

   Look at the row of actions beside the title.

   

   You should see · ① saves the track to your favourites, ② adds it to a playlist, ③ downloads it to this device, and ④ below the controls records a session while it plays.

   What it means · Download ③ is the one worth knowing: a downloaded track plays with no connection at all, which is the difference between a meditation you can rely on and one that stalls halfway. Record ④ is what turns listening into a session that shows up in your history.

5. 5

   Open Downloads from the Library tab to see what is on the device.

   

   You should see · Everything you have downloaded ①, or a note saying there is nothing there yet.

   What it means · This is the offline shelf. Anything here plays in flight mode; anything not here needs a connection, however recently you listened to it.
