## What is Tape?

This App is music player modeled after an open reel tape.
The open reel tape section rotates and the tape increases and decreases.
In addition to the playback function as a music player, you can freely select the design of the main unit, so it can be used as an interior decoration depending on the location. (As a stylish interior with the background music of the store, as a desk interior)
Not only listening to music, but also watching it is fun and nostalgic, so you can enjoy a relaxing time.

【Feature Description】
- Only the sound source of one song on the device can be played.
- Low-speed playback, normal playback, high-speed playback (5 rotational speeds), and rewind/fast forwarding (5 rotational speeds) are possible.
- You can choose from 6 different body colors and 5 types reel x 4 colors. There are other items that can be changed in design.
- Compatible with iPhone and iPad in portrait and landscape orientation. The placement of each part changes, resulting in a different image.

【Things impossible】
- Because it is a pseudo tape format, the playback position can only be changed by fast forwarding or rewinding. Fast forwarding or rewinding may take some time.

【The difference between the pay version / ReelToReelLike MusicPlayer Pro】
- this application can only play one song, but in The professional version it is possible to register and play more than one song.
