From taking a vinyl record out of the jacket and putting it on the turntable to start playing, to finishing the performance and putting it back in the jacket, it moves just like a real player. You can touch the vinyl record with your finger to change the speed, stop the turntable with your finger for scrubbing, or stop the tone arm with your finger to make the needle skip. But, unlike the real thing, no matter how harshly you handle it, the original sound source will not be damaged at all! Enjoy the feeling of listening to records on a record player to your heart's content. Feature - The jacket and turntable display are fun to look at. - Free selection from your music library. - 4 types of vinyl disk form from donut record to LP record. - A cool animation of the record playback process. - Auto start behavior like a real player. - The front of the jacket depicts the artwork. - Tap the edge of the jacket to flip it over to the back of the jacket. - On the back of the jacket is a list of songs that can be selected by tapping. - Use the slider on the back of the jacket to freely seek within the song. - Split multiple songs into side 1 and side 2 like a real record. - A prank of slowing down by touching the record disk with a finger. - Scrubbing play by moving the turntable with your finger. - Stop the tone arm with your finger and play a needle jumping prank. - Tap the tonearm with your finger continuously to generate short repeats.
