A musical hourglass. One album. One mood. One moment. Let the music flow like sand through an hourglass. The Record Player picks a random album from your library and plays it from beginning to end. No shuffling. No skipping. No decisions. You don’t choose the album - your library is the choice. Each play session is a reflection of your taste, your memories, and your current state of mind. It’s a moment of calm. Or energy. Or something in between. Whether you’re working, relaxing, commuting, cooking, or falling asleep, one album is enough. Use it to frame time - about 40 to 50 minutes - and give your attention a soundtrack. This is focus music for people who still love music. What can you play? • MP3 albums from your iTunes library • Apple Music albums you’ve saved to your library • Napster albums (with an active subscription) What makes it special? • Local album support with offline playback • MP3 playback includes pops, scratches, and all - perfect for digitized vinyl • Spatial record view - see a virtual record spinning in smooth 3D • Augmented Reality mode - double-tap outside the album to anchor the record in your room • Siri voice control - just say “Hey Siri, spin some vinyl” • Designed for simplicity, focus, and flow The Record Player was built for people who love albums. It’s not a playlist builder or a background noise machine. It’s about honoring the full arc of an album - start to finish - and letting that shape your day. What’s coming next? We’re just getting started. Here are a few ideas we’re exploring: • Power Hour Mode - one song per minute for 60 minutes • Auto-play toggle - keep going after each album or stop and reflect • Support for the full Apple Music catalog (not just your saved albums) • Light and dark themes that reflect album art • SharePlay support for listening to albums together remotely We’d love your feedback. Please leave a review and tell us what features you’d like to see next. Created by Sumner Internet Marketing Environments Corp. (SIME Corp), blending art, audio, and digital tools since 1994.
