ListPlayer plays the playlists in your library — the way you built them. NEW TRACKS ON TOP That is why this app exists. In the Music app, newly added tracks end up at the very bottom, and you scroll past half the list every time. In ListPlayer the newest comes first. If you want the original order back, it is one tap away. SLEEP TIMER After this track, or after 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes. And then the difference that matters: the music does not cut out mid-chorus, it ends when the current track ends. The timer tells you up front when that will be and which track it will be. It keeps working long after you have closed the app. A FAREWELL WORTH SEEING Once the music has faded out, your album cover dissolves into its own colours and becomes a night sky. Every album makes its own constellation. You see it the next time you wake up and open the app. THE PLAYER The interface takes its colours from the album cover, so every track brings its own mood. Plus shuffle, repeat, a queue, AirPlay and a mini player that follows you everywhere. SORT IT YOUR WAY Newest first, A–Z, Z–A, most played, reversed, or the original order. Free. No account, no ads, no server — ListPlayer collects nothing about you, because there is nowhere for it to go. Requires access to your music library and an iPhone library with your own playlists.
