Mobile Phone & Tablet Instructions

Question: How do I play or download my files on my mobile smartphone (e.g. the Apple iPhone or Android-based phones) or tablet device (e.g. the Apple iPad or Android-based tablet)?

Answer: All downloaded MP3 audio files can be transferred via your desktop or laptop computer to your mobile smartphone or tablet utilizing iTunes for the iPhone or iPad, or the Music folder of your Android operating-system on Android phones and tablets. Besides the option of transferring your files to your mobile device via a computer, we do feature the ability to play and download files directly on your mobile device. We currently do not have an iPhone app or an Android app, but we do have the following options for playing and downloading files on your mobile smartphone or tablet.

Playing Files Directly on Your iPhone, iPad, or Android-Based Device:

For playing files directly on your iPhone, iPad, or Android-based device, we have a Mobile Player format. Our Mobile Player format allows you to play all MP3 files in your download library as streaming audio directly through all smartphones and mobile tablet devices including the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android-based phones, Android-based tablets, and BlackBerry phones. To play audio files on your mobile device you will need either a 3G or WiFi internet connection. Simply browse on your mobile device to www.learnoutloud.com/mobile and sign in. Make sure the Mobile Player format is selected in your download library and click the PLAY buttons to play the files.

If you'd like to download files directly to your phone or tablet, we also have a Mobile Download format.

Downloading Files Directly to Your iPhone or iPad:

Because the Safari browser in iOS for your iPhone or iPad does not have any way to download MP3 files directly, you will need to install one of the popular downloader apps for your iPhone or iPad available on the App Store. For the iPhone and iPad we recommend this app:

Documents 5 File Manager available on the App Store

These downloader apps for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch contain a browser, download manager, and media player that allows you to download almost any file on the Internet, including any files on our site. You can download your MP3 purchases from LearnOutLoud.com and play them in these apps and you can also download our zip files of MP3s, extract them, and play them from a folder within these apps. The free versions of these apps allow you to store up to a certain number of files, and the paid versions allow unlimited downloads. Simply browse in the app to www.learnoutloud.com/mobile, sign in, choose the format Mobile Download, and you'll be able to download and play all of your purchases within these apps.

Downloading Files Directly to Your Android-Based Phone or Tablet:

For Android-based phones and tablets you should be able to download the files directly in the standard Android "Internet" browser without any apps. Simply browse in the Internet browser to www.learnoutloud.com/mobile and sign in. Make sure to select the Mobile Download format, and then you can download the files. You should not block pop-ups in your browser in order to initiate the download. In the Internet browser you might be prompted with a pop up and you should "Allow" this pop up to initiate the download. Once you've downloaded a file, you should be able to click on the file and it will ask which media player to play the file in.

If your device doesn't prompt you with a media player to play the files in, you should browse to the files in the My Files section of your phone or tablet. The files will be located within the Download folder of the My Files section, and from there you can click on the files to play them in a media player. If you want to play a file you have already downloaded, it will always be located in the My Files > Download folder for you to play at any time. If you want to download the zip files of MP3s you will need a zip file extractor app to extract the MP3s.

If these methods of downloading do not work in the standard Android "Internet" browser, we recommend installing either Chrome or Firefox for your Android-based phone or tablet, and trying to download and play the files with these browsers. If these browsers do not work for you we recommend installing this free application:

Download All Files on the Google Play Android App Store

You can download and open your MP3 purchases from LearnOutLoud.com through the standard Android "Internet" browser utilizing this app. Once your download is complete you can click to open the file in the "Download All Files" app, and then you can save the file and open it in one of the Android media players.
