What you need to know
- Vinyls is a new music player that looks like no other.
- Users can scrub the on-screen vinyl to seek back and forth through the song.
Apple ships every iPhone, iPad, and Mac with an app for playing music but that doesn't mean that it's the only option. Vinyls is a new music app that does things a little differently – including the way it looks and works.
For starters, it has a big vinyl record that you can scrub to seek back and forth through a song. You can't do that with Apple's Music app!
Vinyls is a beautiful music player built with iOS design guidelines in mind. There are no complicated user accounts or settings to configure, so you can start listening to your music right away. > It also displays a spinning vinyl with a tone arm that animates in and out when playing and pausing. The arm makes its way towards the centre of the disc and appropriately aligns itself with the current playback time. The disc can also be 'scrubbed' to seek forwards and backwards, and long-pressed for further actions.
Pulling music from your library, including Apple Music, Vinyls has access to all of your playlists and artwork, so it looks and sounds awesome. But there's more to the app than just the music, including some lovely animations.
Key features:
- Beautiful interface
- Gorgeous animations
- Brilliant gestures (swipe up/down to view/dismiss lists and view details)
- Scrub the vinyl to seek forwards and backwards
- AirPlay support
- Widgets
- iPad multi-window support
- Vast array of app tints
- Alternative app icons
- Dark mode support
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Many accessibility settings
You can download Vinyls from the App Store now. It sells for $3.99 and is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Now that you have the perfect app for listening to your music, it's time to bag some great noise-canceling headphones to go with it!
