Music Player for listening/study material. Fantastic learning aid for all language students. This app is especially made for anyone who studies a foreign language and who listens to CDs which come with text books or podcasts. • When listening to a CD, some parts can be difficult to hear correctly and you can't understand by listening only a few times. You want to and need to repeat that part many times. Set playback area and you can repeat that particular area as many times as you want. (A-B repeat playback). • You can save the clip and listen to it later. Send the clip as an email with attachment, or upload to Twitter or Facebook so your friends and teacher can listen to it too. (*) • Adjustable playback speed. • List up Recently studied albums. • Track selection screen has a scroll bar so you can directly scroll to the track you need.

cut&loop is an audio player that lets you use your own audio for language learning and instrument practice. Jump to the start of a phrase and repeat it for listening practice, shadowing, memorization, or learning music by ear. Playback speed controls, pauses between phrases, and transcription help you get more use out of your audio. ■Main Features ・Automatic phrase splitting based on silence detection, with easy navigation to the start of each phrase ・Phrase repeat and A-B repeat for a selected section ・Pauses between phrases ・Playback speeds from 0.5× to 2.5×, for slower listening practice or getting through podcasts in less time ・Transcription and translation, plus pronunciation checks using speech recognition ・Audio recording and automatic playback of recorded audio ・Bookmarks for phrases you want to listen to again (iOS 26 or later) ・Sleep timer (iOS 18.4 or later) ■Supported Audio Supports audio from your music library, files, and downloaded podcasts. DRM-protected audio, audio within the Books app, and some other content are not supported. ■Free Trial and Subscriptions First-time users can try ad-free and background playback for 3 days after selecting their first audio, without signing up for a subscription. You will not be charged automatically when the trial ends. A subscription is required to use paid features after the free period. No account registration is required. I’m continuing to improve the app to make it easier to use.
