Riffle은 좋아하는 노래를 들으며 곡 제목을 자연스럽게 익히도록 돕는 음악 플레이어입니다. 아이들이 자주 듣는 새로운 노래의 제목을 더 쉽게 기억할 수 있도록, 사용자의 음악 보관함을 기반으로 간단하고 직관적인 재생 경험을 제공합니다. 주요 기능 - 음악 보관함 기반 재생 - 내 기기의 음악과 Apple Music 구독 곡을 함께 재생 - Apple Music 재생목록 가져오기 - 현재 재생 중 화면에서 이전/다음/재생 제어 - 진행 바 탭 및 드래그로 원하는 위치로 이동 - 셔플 및 반복 재생 지원 - 곡 제목 읽기(TTS) 기능 - 자동 / 한국어 / 영어 음성 모드 지원 Apple Music 구독 곡 재생과 재생목록 가져오기에는 Apple Music 구독이 필요합니다. 기기에 저장된 음악은 구독 없이 재생됩니다. Riffle은 좋아하는 음악을 더 즐겁게 듣고, 제목까지 자연스럽게 익히게 돕는 앱입니다. Riffle helps you become more familiar with the songs in your iPhone music library. Before playback, Riffle can read the track title and artist name aloud so you can naturally learn and remember the songs you listen to often. Title reading and artist reading can be enabled separately, and when both are enabled, Riffle reads the title first, then the artist, and starts playback. Riffle plays the music stored on your device alongside Apple Music catalog songs, and can import an Apple Music playlist. Playing catalog songs and importing playlists require an Apple Music subscription; music stored on your device plays without one. Riffle also keeps the current shuffle order fixed once it has been created, which makes it easier to stay with one listening order. If you want a newly shuffled order, just pull down to refresh in the Library screen.
