Entropy: Shuffle & Radio

Entropy is the shuffle button, evolved. FOUR KINDS OF SHUFFLE Every shuffle mode in Entropy comes from one of four core shuffling concepts. True Random A genuinely uniform shuffle. No weighting toward what you added last week or what is seen as popular. Every song gets a fair shot. True Random Playlist does the same inside one playlist you pick. Artist Pairs (also: Album, Playlist or Genre Pairs) Picks an artist, plays two songs from them, then goes on to a pair from another artist. Whether an artist has 4 songs in your library or 400, they have an equal shot of being played. The pairing gives you a little consistency to go with your randomness. Works on albums, genres and playlists too. Unforgettable Hour, Fan Hour and more A set of songs, picked by a special condition. In the case of Unforgettable Hour, it picks songs once loved but lost to time, passed over by every shuffle you've started since. Fan Hour finds the under-heard songs of your most-listened artists. Each of the other hour modes is similarly tuned to let you see your library from a whole new angle. Album Roulette (also: Artist, Playlist or Genre Roulette) Drops you into an album and plays it in its entirety, with one little catch: skip a song once and you jump out of that album completely and into the next random one. Works on artists, playlists and genres, too. ENTROPY FM Turn it on and the hosts Chris (recorded) and Alex (spoken by your device, in a voice you choose) pop in between songs once in a while, telling you what's coming up, what your history with a song is, or just generally doing their best to make you feel like you're listening to the radio. Minus the commercials. And everything played has been vetted and selected by a master curator: you. Because it's your music. Disclaimer: nothing is actually broadcast; Entropy FM is all about the vibes. TAKE THE CONTROLS Standard gives you eight curated shuffles. Press one and the music starts. Custom is where you experiment. More than fifteen distinct shuffles live back there, each with settings you can move, giving you greater control over what you hear. FIND WHAT YOU FORGOT Even moderately sized music libraries have their neglected little corners where songs have either never been discovered or were once loved but lately haven't been on good terms with the standard shuffle. Entropy's modes go looking. That album you bought in 2023. That song you listened to over and over but forgot about once new stuff rolled in. The best finds are like a shot of pure nostalgia into your veins, or like buying new songs minus the buying. ONE LIBRARY, NOT TWO Entropy imports the music library already on your phone and keeps up with it from there. Playlists are read live from Music and never copied. Your plays count back to Music's own numbers, so listening here still counts where you'd expect. Add some new music, re-sync, and nothing is lost. ALSO INCLUDES • A "Now Playing" widget, and easy-access shuffle button widgets • Apple Shortcuts support, to weave a particular shuffle into your routine or activate it with Siri.
