Improved: - Refined the CarPlay experience - Sorting by "Stars" now considers the percentage of the album rated, and five stars tracks give an extra bonus Fixed: - Minor styling tweaks and fixes

Price History of Longplay

Description of Longplay

Do you have an album collection of dozens to thousands of albums? Does the next song of an album already start playing in your head when one finishes? Longplay is for you. Longplay presents a beautiful view of the album artworks of the (near) complete albums in your music collection. It let's you rediscover forgotten favorites or just play the music you love, and explore it with various smart sort options: - Orderliness: by artist, then by album - Addiction: by amount of time spent listening - Brightness: by the primary colour of the album artwork - Negligence: by the time it’s been since you’ve last listened to the album, weighted by the rating - Recency: by date added - Memory: by last played - Stars: by the rating you’ve provided for each song - Random: a new order, every time you tap it You can organize your albums into collections, which sync across your devices. Infinite album shuffle let's you stay in the flow, with smart shuffle depending on your current collection or sort order. It comes with a home screen widget that displays the top albums by your nominated sort order. On the larger widget, tap an album to play it, on the smallest it doubles as a "Feeling lucky" button to start playback of one of them. It supports CarPlay, Siri, and Shortcuts. It works well with Apple Music, music purchased from iTunes or synced manually. --- Important: Longplay does not ship with any music included, it is instead a player for your music library - be it from Apple Music, iTunes or your synced music. It provides a filtered view of just the albums of which you have all or most of the songs, as well as your playlists; thus focussing on your album collection without any singles or albums where you only have very few songs. --- Tap an item to play (or pause). Long tap for additional options, such as adding to your album queue or to a collection. It works with libraries big and small, and besides regular albums it also handles compilation albums and playlists. Comes with Shortcuts actions to play a random top album by a defined sort order, or a random album, optionally filtered by artist or genre. All of that with Longplay's logic that makes sure that it's an album for which you have all or most songs. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Fully VoiceOver accessible.

Reviews of Longplay

  • Great for Album Lovers

    This is a great app for listening to albums. Scroll down a list of album covers (sortable in a variety of useful ways), tap on a cover to play the album, and you are done. It is easy to see many albums at once, and the arrangement of album covers is visually delightful without wasting any space.

    Apple’s built-in players have always been focused more on individual songs rather than albums, especially in more recent versions. Longplay puts albums first.
  • Fun!

    This is awesome! So much fun to see metrics on when and how much time spent listening to my 400+ albums! Well worth the price. I wish all the albums had release date auto filled in. It’d be nice to sort by that. Great app!
  • Super amazing App for Vision Pro

    Fantastic app for viewing your Apple Music collection in the Vision Pro! Being able to enter an immersive view and see all of your albums as a wall is super nice to do. Looking forward to continued features!
