This app is a skin for the Apple Music app, intended for handicapped people who cannot read well. The songs must be added to the Apple Music Library, and in the beginning you would want to include only one song per album, because tapping on the album cover is a way to play a song. In the settings there are three ways of distinguishing songs with the same album cover, though.
