## Review summary

Reviewers praise mimiCopy for precise tempo control, looping, and clear sound, making practice and transcription easier. Key strengths include importing owned tracks from iTunes/Dropbox and independent tempo/pitch changes. Major drawbacks center on licensing/DRM barriers that block many tracks, lack of export functionality, and occasional playback glitches. Overall, it's a valuable tool for musicians, but licensing and export limitations limit its universality.

- Easy import of songs from iTunes/Dropbox and other music you own
- High-quality sound even at slow speeds with independent tempo and pitch changes
- Effective for rehearsals and learning by ear, with quick navigation between parts

### Cons

- DRM/protected content prevents loading many tracks and licensing limits restrict usage of songs you don't own
- No export or save-as function for altered tracks
- Occasional playback stability issues (e.g., playback stopping mid-song)
