●Equipped with an unprecedented new system that combines GPS and music playback. It is an app that uses the GPS function of your smartphone to automatically switch songs according to your current location. When you approach the song location set on the map in advance, the song will switch automatically. For example, you can use it as follows. - While traveling by train or bus, such as commuting to work or school, switch songs for each station or bus stop. - While driving a car, automatically play albums and songs that match the cityscape and street scenery. - While running or walking, switch to a power song when you reach an uphill. You can switch to the automatically set music without touching your smartphone. You can turn off the screen of your smartphone and keep it in your bag or pocket. You don't need to connect to the internet while using it, and you don't have to worry about battery consumption. You can freely set up multiple pins(song locations) on the map, such as near the route you plan to move. For each pin, you can register the songs in your smartphone's music library as a collection. The songs will switch automatically just by moving and approaching the nearest pin or pin within the set distance.
