Richard is correct, you do not have access to the phone’s folder structure like you do on a computer or Android phone. If you buy a card reader it is possible that it comes with its own app which you have to use to access the files or as Richard suggested, maybe the Files app can do this now. This is why you have to use the Dropbox or Onedrive apps to access content you have with these storage solutions (Files app here works I believe), but it’s not like on a PC where you simply use File Explorer to open c:\users\Your User Name\Dropbox or OneDrive to have access to these files and open them, delete them, copy or move them etc.

I do not think you can transfer the audio files to the phone. But you would use the Files app to access the drives. It could be you could open the files with Voice Dream Reader, which would transfer them to that app. But, if you are thinking to transfer them to the music app, you need a computer to do that. At least, that is my understanding. You may need to call Apple unless someone knows better. Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

It will likely not be a very fast connection, but should work. Given the changes to use the USB c for the iPhone 15, you will want to cdouble check what is available. Perhaps calling Apple.

Also, is there any way to access a Windows formatted external hard drive via the iPhone please? Asking these questions, as my windows desktop has decided to go toes up on me, and would really like to access a lot of audio, that is stored on SD cards or external hard drives, but unless I can get it fixed, or until I can get the funds together to get it replaced, I am restricted to the iPhone at the moment.
