8D Music Player - 8Dimension

I keep seeing ads with binaural or 8D pop/alternative songs with an effect on my brain that I like. Songs with words and songs I know. But if you download the app in the ad, you just get “sound scapes,” not any song you recognize and none with a vocal. (I’m so tired of app fraud—looking at you Endel.) But the good news is this app does what it says and allows you to play your own iTunes music but with the headphone ear switching. Best of both worlds. It’s not elaborate but at least for me, I can play an upbeat song with this app and get some work done. Disclaimer: I do not have ADHD (or least I don’t think I do) so I cannot speak to its effectiveness on that front.

I have ADHD and often struggle with getting sort of frozen, unable to make myself do anything, and I'm always looking for ways to make my brain thaw out so I can function. I heard that some neurodivergent people found 8D audio calming for their brains, so I tried it on impulse, and now this app is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I upgraded and very much appreciate the ability to adjust things like speed, reverb, and such for my needs on any particular day (sometimes what helps my brain at one time or with one song is not effective in a different scenario). Also, the ability to access my music library without needing to convert anything is amazing. I previously used a bilateral stimulation app where it did have to convert each file first, and not only did it take time (though not too much), it created huge new files, which really added up if I converted more than a few songs.

I left a review before, where I suggested adding the ability to record our own sounds and manipulate them just as we would imported music, and I don’t know if that was actually already done before I said that, or if my tip was actually heard by someone, but yeah… With the relatively cheap price for the paid features, this is a heck of an app. The sound is great, with all sorts of different audio textures, importing over WiFi is super easy, and I’m looking forward to the record feature and the button that says “video” in that same import menu. Thanks y’all for continuing to update the app and making it something folks will want to continue to use for a long time as it gets better and better Edit: I’m really just trying to help, not complaining, but being able to record or import our own audio is great, but it would be awesome if we could also convert those files to 8d with the current settings chosen, and actually *save* those files in 8D to be downloaded again to our laptops or other phones or whatever. Not sure if it’s a technical issue, making it a difficult thing to do, but converting imported files and saving them as 8D… please and thank you. 😅 (Imma try a cable from my iPad to my iPhone in the mean time, wish me luck lol)
