retro_player.mp3

retro_player.mp3 plays the music you already own, the way a player from 1983 would have if it had been designed in Germany and shipped in 2003. DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY Your music drives a square LED panel, unlit dots and all. Six display styles: Bars with red peak caps, Mirror, Scope, Pulse, Warp and Rain. Pick yours in Settings or tap the display, and the dots fly over to the new one. Turn on Auto VJ and now and then the panel moves on by itself, with a transition: a swirl, a burst, a dissolve or a CRT wipe. AUTOMIX Turn it on and every track crossfades into the next. retro_player trims the silence at the end of one song and the start of the next, so the mix lands on the music. Choose 4, 8 or 12 seconds. PIXEL COVER ART Every track gets its own generated LED cover: invaders, synthwave suns, rings, skylines. It's on the lock screen and in Control Center. NAMES LIKE IT'S 2003 Show titles clean, as the raw file name, or in full Y2K style: xX~sOnG_nAmE~Xx.mp3.
