How to play my own MP3 files (not purchased from Apple) on iPhone?

I have 100's of existing MP3 files which I have purchased legitimately from non-Apple sources. I have been able to play these files with no issue on Android and BlackBerry, but so far it seems impossible to play them on an iPhone device. Using a 3rd party SFTP client, I am able to download these MP3 files into the Files area on the iPhone, but no player I have tried is able to see them.


Can MP3 files obtained (legitimately) from non-Apple purchases be imported to and played on an iPhone, and if so, how?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Thanks. I have an upcoming choice of using an iPhone or Android as my new device. Looks like it will be Android.
