MusicRadial analyzes the audio data of DRM-free music being played and visualizes it in real time in a radial chart-shaped frequency spectrum graph. The graph is displayed when playing DRM-free (unprotected) music files such as mp3, m4a, and aiff that have been synced to the iOS Music app library using a Mac or Windows computer and downloaded to the device. Please note that you need either a Mac or Windows computer to view the graph. Music purchased from AppleMusic or iTunesStore is in m4p (AAC) format protected by DRM (Apple FairPlay). Please note that protected audio files and cloud items will not be displayed in the graph. (It is possible to play DRM-protected music. Playlists that include DRM-protected music can also be played.) MusicRadial shares playlists and played songs with the iOS Music app's music library, so music being played will not be interrupted even if you switch between the Music app and MusicRadial. You can also use the Music Controller widget on the lock screen and in the Control Center, the music equalizer in the Settings app, and the timer end setting in the Timer app in conjunction with the playback stop function. On an iPad, you can also pair it with the iOS Music App using the SplitView function. You can also remotely control the player from a Bluetooth device. Screen rotation is automatic, and you can display and operate it in both portrait and landscape. (Forced rotation fixation is disabled on iPad) Preparation Add DRM-free music files such as MP3 and M4A (unprotected AAC) to the Music App library on your Mac or Windows computer. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows computer and sync your music library. Download the synced DRM-free music in the Music App on your iPhone and start playing it. Check that the graph is displayed in the MusicRadial App. Features FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) of audio data and high-frequency real-time display of frequency spectrum graph in radial chart shape Blinking of title string based on audio data BPM (Beat Per Minutes) analysis results Morphing animation of title string Album artwork display Forced screen rotation lock operation (not available on iPad) Operations Tap: Play/pause Swipe left/right: Go back/forward Long tap on left/right area of ​​screen: Rewind/fast forward Tap slider (seek bar): Move to any playback time position of song Swipe up: Display customization menu Swipe down: Display music app Two-finger horizontal swipe: Change radial chart type Graph customization Display/hide artwork image Change/hide peak hold of radial chart Change radial chart type Notes MusicRadial does not have a music list function. Please select and play music in the iOS Music App. The spectrum analyzer can only be displayed while DRM-free (unprotected) music files such as mp3 and m4a (AAC) downloaded from the Music App Library are being played. Apple Music songs and m4p (AAC) music files purchased from the iTunes Store are protected, so the graph will not be displayed. Graphs can be displayed for mp3, m4a, and aiff, but not for m4p. If you do not understand the difference between these music file formats, you will not be able to use it, so please do not purchase MusicRadial. Cloud items cannot be analyzed on the device, so the graph will not be displayed. Syncing and downloading must be performed on the Mac or iOS Music App. A Mac or Windows computer is required to load DRM-free (unprotected) music files such as mp3 and m4a (AAC) to the iOS Music App Library. DRM-free music files cannot be added to the library on a standalone device such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Synchronization of graph drawing timing by operating the seek slider is not supported for MP3 VBR (variable bit rate) format files. Animation and graph drawing are heavy loads, so the device itself may heat up or consume a lot of power. Please pay attention to the remaining battery power.
