Longplay vs Cruise FM

Do you have an album collection of dozens to thousands of albums? Does the next song of an album already start playing in your head when one finishes? Longplay is for you. Longplay presents a beautiful view of the album artworks of the (near) complete albums in your music collection. It let's you rediscover forgotten favorites or just play the music you love, and explore it with various smart sort options: - Orderliness: by artist, then by album - Addiction: by amount of time spent listening - Brightness: by the primary color of the album artwork - Negligence: by the time it’s been since you’ve last listened to the album, weighted by the rating - Recency: by date added - Memory: by last played - Stars: by the rating you’ve provided for each song - Random: a new order, every time you tap it You can organize your albums into collections, which sync across your devices. Infinite album shuffle let's you stay in the flow, with smart shuffle depending on your current collection or sort order. It comes with a home screen widget that displays the top albums by your nominated sort order. On the larger widget, tap an album to play it, on the smallest it doubles as a "Feeling lucky" button to start playback of one of them. It supports CarPlay, Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight.t supports CarPlay, Siri, and Shortcuts. It works well with Apple Music, music purchased from iTunes or synced manually. --- Important: Longplay does not ship with any music included, it is instead a player for your music library - be it from Apple Music, iTunes or your synced music. It provides a filtered view of just the albums of which you have all or most of the songs, as well as your playlists; thus focusing on your album collection without any singles or albums where you only have very few songs. --- Tap an item to play (or pause). Long tap for additional options, such as adding to your album queue or to a collection. It works with libraries big and small, and besides regular albums it also handles compilation albums and playlists. Comes with Shortcuts actions to play a random top album by a defined sort order, or a random album, optionally filtered by artist or genre. All of that with Longplay's logic that makes sure that it's an album for which you have all or most songs. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Fully VoiceOver accessible.

Cruise FM turns your iPhone into the dashboard your music deserves. Apple organizes music by artist. Cruise FM organizes it by how a drive feels. Pick a mood station, tap Start Drive, and the screen becomes a cassette deck, a turning record, a mirror ball scattering light around the car. BUILT FOR APPLE MUSIC Connect Apple Music and play your own playlists with full control inside Cruise FM — play, pause, skip, scrub the track, pick a song from the queue. Album art lands on the record and the disc. Your Music app keeps the lock screen and CarPlay controls, exactly as it should. Spotify Premium works the same way; on anything else, press play in your own app and Cruise FM runs the visuals alongside it. TEN MOOD STATIONS Night Run. Sunset. Daylight. Rain Drive. Coastal. Mountain Pass. After Hours. Cars & Coffee. Downtown. Tunnel. Each one is a feeling rather than a genre — link any playlist you own to any station, and the drive takes care of itself. EIGHT FULL-SCREEN MODES • Mirror Ball — a slow-turning ball scattering light around the room • Vinyl — your album art on a turning record, tonearm riding the grooves • Cassette — living tape reels that wind as the song plays • CD — a mirrored disc under jewel-case plastic • Equalizer — a segmented LED meter lit in your station's colours • Circular EQ — a spectrum wrapped into a glowing ring • Tuner — a dot-matrix head unit; drag the dial to glide between moods • Horizon — an endless grid rolling into a sliced sun BUILT FOR THE DRIVE • One-tap Start Drive from the home screen • Auto-dim while you're moving, so the screen never shouts at you • Drive stats kept honest — an "Are you driving?" check quietly pauses the clock when the music is playing, and you're not • Badges and streaks, free forever • Share a card of what you're listening to FREE TO START, PREMIUM IF YOU WANT MORE The AM band, the Cassette and Equalizer modes, badges, streaks and share cards are free, with no account and no ads. Premium unlocks the FM stations, the Vinyl, Tuner, Horizon, Mirror Ball and CD modes and unlimited custom stations — try it free for 7 days, then monthly or yearly. Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. GOOD TO KNOW Cruise FM controls your own Apple Music — it does not stream, download or store any music itself. Full in-app playback needs an Apple Music subscription or Spotify Premium; without either, Cruise FM runs as the visual layer while you play music in your own app. Nothing about you leaves your phone: no account, no sign-up, no tracking. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Six widgets. The station that's on air right now, a one-tap Start Drive, the record you were last on, and the last song you played drawn as a CD player, a pocket player or a ticket stub. The Mode draws a mirror ball, a jewel case or a pressing in your station's own colours. Pin any of them to a mood you choose, or let them follow your last drive. There's a Lock Screen widget too. Please don't watch the screen while you're driving. That's what passengers are for. Cruise FM is made by Strofi Technologies.
