Music
A free online music player. No ads, no catches.
Ironbark for the web plays the music files on your own computer, right in your browser. Open a folder of music and press play. There’s nothing to install, no account to make, no ads, and your songs are never uploaded.
Open the music player How it works
Free · Open source (MIT licence) · Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook · Made by Digital Greenhouse in Australia
No catches
Just a music player
No ads
Nothing interrupts your music, and nothing is being sold to you.
No sign-up
No account, no email address, no trial. Open the page and play.
No uploads
Your songs stay on your computer. The player reads them where they are.
No tracking
The player page is locked so it can’t connect to the internet at all.
No paid version
Every feature is free. There’s no “pro” upgrade waiting for you.
No lock-in
It’s open source, so it stays free. Anyone can copy it and run their own.
How to play your music in the browser
- Open the music player.
- Choose Open a folder and pick the folder your music is in, or Open songs to pick a few tracks. You can also drag songs and folders onto the page.
- Double-click a song, or an album, to play it.
That’s it. Your albums show with their cover art, and you can search, shuffle and repeat. There’s a level meter and a spectrum if you like watching the music, a light and a dark theme, and keyboard shortcuts for everything (press ? to see them).
What it plays
Your browser does the playing, so the formats depend on the browser. FLAC plays in every current major browser. Chrome and Edge also play MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, WAV and AAC (M4A). The player’s opening screen lists exactly what your browser plays, and marks any song it can’t.
It plays the music files you already have: songs you’ve bought, ripped from CDs or downloaded. It isn’t a streaming service.
Make it an app
In Chrome or Edge you can install the player from the address bar. It then opens in its own window, works without an internet connection, and shows up in Open with for your music files. Chrome and Edge can also remember the folder you opened, so next time you just press Reopen.
