The next one lines up right behind it. No menu to open, no choosing between "Play Next" and "Play Last". ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE • How much time is left, to the minute • Every song to come, right in front of you • The songs you already played, a pull on the player away ON THE ROAD, AT THE GYM, AT A PARTY • On the road, you know whether the music will last the drive. • At the gym, you fit the music to your workout. • At a party, you stay in control of what plays. IN THE CAR Burst works with CarPlay: your queue shows up right on the car's screen.
