Getting Started

Voltra Mobile Player is currently in Beta for iOS, and the Android app is in progress. To receive an invitation to the iOS or Android beta, please let us know on Twitter or by contacting us.

Import Music

Sync with Voltra

If you have a Voltra Audio Archive subscription, choose Sync with Voltra to import the music you have uploaded to the Cloud from the Voltra Desktop App.

Sync with iTunes

If you do not have a Voltra Audio Archive subscription, you can also choose to Sync with iTunes to import your iTunes Library.

Controls

At the bottom of the screen, the Control Bar displays the currently playing track. If the bar is missing that means you have not played any tracks yet.

Here you can pause/play the playback or tap (or pull) to open the Queue.

Play/Pause

To Play a track simply tap on it, the Control Bar will immediately change and the audio will start playing. For tracks with a cloud icon next to them this may take few seconds depending on your connectivity.

Once a track starts playing you can Pause the playback by tapping on the Pause button located on the Control Bar or in the Queue.

Skip Next / Skip Previous

To skip a track, use the Skip buttons located in the Queue. Tap the Control Bar to open and use the left/right arrows to play next/previous tracks.

Once you reach the end of your queue, the Next button will be disabled.

Navigation

Navigating the Voltra app is done using simple swipe gestures. When you first open the app you will see the Albums view with all your albums. Swipe left to navigate to Artists and once again to Tracks.

When on the Albums view swipe right to bring up the Settings view.

Menus

Play

To play all tracks from the specific album/artist, long press on an item to bring up the Context Menu and select the Play option. Your current queue will be reset and the selected album/artist will begin to play.

Play Next

If you’d like to play a specific track after your currently playing one, perform a long press on the track to bring up the Context Menu and select the Play Next option. Once your current track finishes, the selected track will play next.

Add to Queue

You can build up your own playback queue by adding specific tracks to the Queue. Long press on a track to bring up the Context Menu. Selecting Add to Queue will add this track at the end of the queue.
