Music download on iOS
Hi folks. Sorry to say that the instruction, to use Documents 5, is obsolete. It is no longer supported on iOS11 by Readdle, replaced by Documents 6. Further, the mp3 download seems to be streaming-only. The "Share" "Activities" menu doesn't help a whit: with great effort one can save a copy of the URL, but not the target file. Overall, this needs a serious re-think.
On the plus side, Documents still works just fine for downloading pdf files, and for playing the mp3 once one manages to get it to a cloud drive by other means.
