Audio

VLC for iOS can be used to play several audio formats such as .asf, .avi, .divx, .dv, .mxf, .ogg, .gm, .ps, .ts, .vob, and .wmv.

When a new audio track is added, VLC checks its metadata to extract and organize it correctly.

The audio files are organized based on the artist’s name, the audio file’s album, the song’s name, and genre.

Adding audio files to VLC

Sorting audio files

By default, VLC sorts audio files in alphanumerical order. However, you can change the sorting format into any of the following order:

• Descending Order.

To sort audio files:

The descending order is defined by an arrow. When the arrow is up, the order is ascending, when the arrow is down it means the descending order is applied. To switch between the orders, select the current sorting criteria.
