Frequently Asked Questions

What is this music for?

Which instruments can be heard?

Piano, violin, cello, harp, flute, and guitar. We do not include electronic synthesizers or background pads in the selection.

How is it different from “Prayer and Soaking”?

“Prayer and Soaking” features music for time with God and often includes a synthesizer background. “Peaceful Music” features only live acoustic sound, mainly hymns and songs.

Can I listen without the video?

Yes, click “Without video”: the image will disappear, but the sound will continue.

How can I transfer my playlist to another device?

There are two ways. 1) Link: open the “My Playlist” tab, click “Copy link to my playlist,” send it to yourself (via messenger or email), and open it on another device: the songs will be added to “My Playlist” there. 2) File: click “Export”; on a computer, the my-playlist-imbf.json file will be saved in the “Downloads” folder. On a smartphone, confirm the download: on iPhone, the file will appear in the “Files” app under “Downloads”; on Android, in the “Downloads” folder.

How can I share a playlist with friends?

This works on computers and smartphones.

What happens to songs already in my playlist when I import?
