## What is Needle Drop?

Needle Drop is a vinyl-inspired player made for Apple Music. It turns familiar songs, albums, and favorites into a warm record shelf and a satisfying drop-the-needle experience.

Open Needle Drop and step into a record store after hours. Pick a song, watch the record spin, lower the needle, and rediscover your music through a quiet, crafted interface.

With Needle Drop, you can:
• Search Apple Music for songs, artists, and albums
• Jump back into music from your recently played history
• Play, pause, skip, and scrub from a tactile turntable interface
• Save favorite songs and sync them with your Apple Music library
• Browse album artwork on a personal record shelf
• Switch between handcrafted visual skins
• Keep listening with shuffle and repeat modes

Needle Drop is not trying to be another complicated music utility. It is a personal turntable for your pocket: fewer distractions, more atmosphere, and a little more ceremony every time you press play.

Requirements and notes:
• Apple Music authorization is required to search and play catalog content
• An active Apple Music subscription is required for full song playback
• Needle Drop does not import or play local audio files
• Needle Drop is not an official Apple product; Apple Music subscriptions are provided separately by Apple
