Derecom is the brand new music player that finally brings some colors into your listening experience. With Derecom you can: - play all your albums, playlists, and favorite songs from your Music library - manage your up next Queue (e.g. add, delete, reorder, and search items in the queue) - set up Reminders to help you keep your Library in order - choose your favorite Theme, and watch the colors of the app reflect the beautiful artworks of your albums and collections! What else? - Derecom supports playback of Apple Music songs, albums, playlists, and radio stations! - Derecom now supports iPad natively (even split-screen and slide-over) This app is exactly for you if enjoy curating your own music library, but also like streaming new songs and discovering new artists. Feel free to reach out with new ideas that can make Derecom Music Player even better. Known app limitations:Β - Apple Music support is limited to playback. You cannot add or delete tracks to your playlists or to your library.Β However, you can use the Reminders to stack these tasks up until you find the most convenient time to apply these modifications through iTunes or - in a lesser extent - through Music.app - Any reordering of songs in the playback queue is not immediately applied to the actual system queue, because of current iOS limitations (i.e. that's why most players similar to Derecom don't offer queue management features). Derecom will find the right opportunity to apply the new queue (e.g. at song changes), unless you just click the Apply button yourself.

SayItAgain is an Apple iPhone or iPad app used when transcribing audio recordings, i.e., listening to a recording while typing out what is heard into a text editor. SayItAgain will play back your audio recording and allow you to slow it down and back up to replay with the tap of a button or press of a foot pedal. This is similar to the old Panasonic RR-830 Standard Cassette Transcriber. You then use your fingers on a keyboard and type in the corrections! You can use Notes, TextEdit, MS Word, Emacs, or whatever text editor you are most familiar with. For example, perhaps you submitted your parents Story Of A Lifetime to one of the automated transcription tools, like OpenAI Whisper or Google Speech-to-Text, and found that the results were riddled with errors. You now must go through and manually correct the errors, get the proper names right, work out that deep Kentucky accent. SayItAgain is perfect for this. You will need to have your audio file(s) local in your iPhone music library for SayItAgain to be able to process it. SayItAgain will not work with cloud-based music services like Spotify. SayItAgain is a free app. I have released the SwiftUI source code to github. If you make any changes I would appreciate you letting me know so I can consider adding them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SayItAgainSlower at Free against Derecom Music Player's $0.99. Derecom Music Player's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 24 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
