Everything careful listening needs.
Nothing that gets in the way.
A deliberately short audio path for the music you own, the stations you find and the shows you follow. No noise, tracking or pressure from another platform.
Radio worth wandering through
Find a new station, return to an old favorite and see live titles, artwork and stream detail whenever the broadcast shares them.
Keep the shows. Lose the feed.
Follow, download and resume with intent. Bring subscriptions with OPML and set the pace that works for you.
Real-time synthesis
VGM/VGZ files are synthesized live with libvgm and more than 40 retro chips. They are generated as you listen, not pre-rendered audio.
Details when you want them
Read the route in sample rate, bit depth and output data. Or get the same answer in plain language.
Pick up where you left off
Your selected files, playlists and queue are ready when you come back, not rebuilt from scratch.
25 real extensions
FLAC, ALAC/M4A, MP3, WAV/AIFF, DSD, Opus, Ogg Vorbis, APE, TTA, WavPack and VGM/VGZ. Every one uses an explicitly registered decoder.
Private by default
No account, ads or analytics SDK. Your local library stays on iPhone; online sources connect directly to their providers.

One player. Three ways to listen.
Your sound. Your terms.
Files, radio and podcasts belong in one considered player. Each gets the right controls. Nothing competes for your attention.
Local hi-fi
Your collection stays yours.
Bring music in from Files, AirDrop or iTunes File Sharing. It stays on your iPhone. Your queue is ready when you are. The route to your ears stays clear.
- From FLAC to DSD and VGM/VGZ, including formats most players leave behind.
- Local playlists and a reorderable queue that are ready when you return.
- Codec, sample rate, bit depth and output route, in view when it matters.
- Eight live visualizers and a waveform scrubber that make seeking precise.
Internet radio
The world is already broadcasting.
Search public stations, save the ones that stay with you and pick up where you left off. When a stream sends data, BitaBit makes it useful.
- Browse by popularity, genre or a name you already know.
- Keep favorites and recents close, without building another account.
- Live titles are read from Shoutcast and Icecast when streams provide them.
- See codec, bitrate and sample rate; copy the technical URL when you need it.
Podcasts
Your podcasts, on your terms.
Keep the podcasts you care about in one focused place. Follow shows, pick up an episode where you left it and take downloads with you when you are offline.
- Find podcasts, follow shows and keep favorite episodes close.
- Download episodes and manage the cache for flights, commutes and bad signal.
- Import or export podcast subscriptions with OPML.
- Choose playback speed, background refresh and optional new-episode alerts.
For the library you actually own
Keep the collection you built.
From familiar FLAC to DSD, VGM/VGZ and the files other players leave behind, BitaBit plays the collection you already care about. The route stays visible.

Music has a shape
Eight ways to see what you hear.
Real-time FFT analysis gives every track a living visual language: 64 logarithmic bands, waveform feedback and motion that stays out of the music’s way.

The waveform is there to help: read a track’s dynamics, find a section and land exactly where you meant to.
The proof is in the route
One signal. Two useful ways to read it.
Go as deep as you want. BitaBit can show the numbers behind the route, then say plainly whether your music is arriving as it should.
What the signal is doing
Source, route and output. Side by side.
SourceFLAC · 96 kHz · 24-bit · ~4608 kbps
Output routeUSB Audio · 96 kHz · 24-bit · no resampling
VerdictClean inside BitaBit: no app-side sample-rate reduction, dithering or codec conversion in this route.
For people who like to know
No mystery between file and headphones.
Codec, sample rate, bit depth, output route and a quality verdict are all there when you want them. If the signal changes, you can see where and why.
DSD → PCM
DSF and DFF are prepared for playback, with a clear readout when they meet a PCM path or a compatible USB DAC.
VGM · AVAudioSourceNode
VGM/VGZ is synthesized live through libvgm and AVAudioSourceNode: 40+ retro chips, without flattening the track first.
FFT · Accelerate
vDSP groups the signal into logarithmic bands so visualizers can respond without getting in playback’s way.
Controlled AVAudioEngine
Files and live synthesis take a short route to output, while your queue and secure file access are ready when you return.
Signal path
AVAudioFile→PlayerNode / SourceNode→MainMixerNode→OutputNode→Hardware
Local files travel from decoder to AVAudioPlayerNode. VGM/VGZ uses AVAudioSourceNode with buffers prepared before render, keeping the real-time audio thread focused on playback.
Questions
The details, plainly.
Your own audio files, public internet radio and podcasts. They live in one focused player, but each gets controls and information that make sense for the way you listen.
Listen closer. Keep it yours.
Your files. Your stations. Your shows. A player that makes the signal as clear as the music.
