Never quite sure what's playing next? Burst replaces Apple Music's queue with one you understand at a glance. ONE TAP, IT'S IN THE QUEUE Pick a song in your library and it joins the queue. 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. YOUR LIBRARY, CLOSE AT HAND Recently added and recently played, playlists included, and your most played songs: it's all there, and your queue is ready in seconds. FREE, THEN BURST UNLIMITED The free version holds up to 7 songs per queue. With Burst Unlimited, your queues have no limit, on iPhone and in CarPlay. Your choice: a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription. Burst is made in France by an independent developer. To use Burst, you need an Apple Music subscription or music saved on your iPhone.

Control your music while driving or biking without your readers. Easily select Artists, Albums, and Playlists. You can figure out how to use it by playing with it for a minute or two. While not a CarPlay app, One Big Player is a good companion to CarPlay, keeping the tracks visible on your phone while the car's display shows a single song's details. A great feature is Resume. When you re-open the app it picks up where you left off when you press Resume. If you had pressed the Shuffle before you closed the app, when you press Resume it will present the Album or Playlist tracks, perform a shuffle, and start playing. One Big Player will only play offline (non-cloud based) music so be sure to download the songs you want and get them physically on your iPhone or iPad.
