## What is Retro MP3 Pocket?

Retro MP3 Pocket brings back the joy of having your own music collection. Designed in the spirit of early-2000s portable players, it gives your iPhone the look and feel of an old-school music device while playing the music YOU own.

YOUR MUSIC, YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
• Point Retro MP3 at any folder of MP3 or M4A files in iCloud Drive, Files, or On My iPhone. No streaming subscriptions, no cloud uploads, just your local music.
• Or connect to your existing Apple Music library to play your iTunes purchases and synced songs.

THREE RETRO THEMES, ONE PLAYER
• 2005, Volcanic Orange. Black body, cyan LCD, that early MP3 player feel.
• 2003, Green Pixel LCD. Monochrome, minimalist, just the essentials.
• 1979, Chrome and Tape. Silver case, blue label, the classic cassette look.

EVERYTHING A MUSIC PLAYER SHOULD HAVE
• Browse by Songs, Albums, Artists, or your own Playlists.
• Full-text search across your entire library.
• Create, rename, and reorder playlists.
• Edit track titles locally, without changing the original file.
• Lock screen and Bluetooth controls (AirPods, car stereos).
• Background playback that continues when the app is closed.
• Auto-resume to your last-played track on relaunch.

INTERNET RADIO, BUILT IN
Browse and search over 46,000 radio stations from around the world, fully offline. Save your favorites and play them with the same retro controls, live track info included.

NO TRACKING, NO ADS, NO NONSENSE
Retro MP3 does not collect any data, does not show ads, and does not require an account. Your music stays on your device. Your privacy stays yours.
