By default, starting music on your iPhone stops the audio coming from other apps — a game goes silent, navigation prompts get cut off, or another player pauses. Sometimes you'd rather have both at once. That's exactly what Mixed Mode is for: it lets your music play together with (mixed on top of) audio from other apps like games, navigation or another player. Here's how to turn it on in any of the jmobbi music players.
Tip: Mixed Mode is handy for layering music over game sound or for muted-video scenarios where you want your own soundtrack. Note that lock-screen controls and AirPlay behavior may vary by app when several audio sources are playing at once.
Exclusive playback is the right default most of the time — you usually want music to have your full attention. But when you want a personal soundtrack over a game, background music while a muted clip plays, or your tunes alongside turn-by-turn directions, Mixed Mode keeps everything audible instead of forcing you to choose one app at a time.
Mixed Mode is a playback setting in the jmobbi music players that lets your music play together with audio from other apps. Instead of taking over the audio, your music is mixed on top of sounds from games, navigation, videos or another player so everything stays audible at once.
By default, Mixed Mode is off and playback is exclusive. Starting your music stops the audio from other apps — a game goes silent, navigation prompts get cut off, or another player pauses so your music has the sound to itself.
All of the jmobbi music players support Mixed Mode, including GoPlayer, Musicbox, MPlayer, YaPlayer and FirePlayer on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Yes. With Mixed Mode on, you can layer your music on top of a game's sound or over turn-by-turn navigation prompts. Both audio sources play together instead of one stopping the other.
Open your jmobbi music player, go to Settings, then Audio Player, and look for the Mixed Mode option. Toggle it on to mix your music with other audio.
It can. When several audio sources play at once, lock-screen controls and AirPlay behavior may vary by app, because iOS has to decide which source those controls follow. Standard exclusive playback keeps that behavior more predictable.
Go back to Settings, then Audio Player, and toggle Mixed Mode off. Your player returns to the default exclusive playback, where starting your music stops audio from other apps.
Yes. Mixed Mode is a built-in setting in the jmobbi music players at no extra cost — just switch it on in Settings, then Audio Player.
