Features

Arrange albums and audio files as five discs and listen with the feel of a retro disc changer. Switch discs, choose tracks and return to your saved playback position. • Load albums or playlists from your iPhone's music library, including songs you've added on Apple Music. • Load audio files or folders selected in Files. • Switch between five discs and browse their track lists. • Use disc selection, track lists and Now Playing in CarPlay. • Save and recall five-disc configurations as magazines. Playback with five active disc slots is free, as is saving and switching between two magazines. Optional non-consumable in-app purchases add reusable saved magazine slots, up to ten in total including the two free slots. Replacing or deleting a saved configuration does not remove purchased capacity. Restore Purchases is available. Purchases add storage for this app's own saved configurations. They do not include music, provide Apple Music access or unlock playback features. You can play music without purchasing additional capacity. This app does not provide or sell a music catalog. Music-library access requires permission. Files playback can be used without granting music-library permission. Playing songs on Apple Music requires your own Apple Music subscription and depends on the availability of the music. In-app purchases are unrelated to Apple Music. Audio files are referenced in the location you selected. Moving or deleting them, or changing access permissions, may prevent playback. Saved configurations contain disc references; the app does not copy your audio or sync saved configurations between devices. Load discs on the iPhone before using them in CarPlay. Apple Music and CarPlay are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries and regions.
