Again Music

Again Music is a free music player for the songs you already own. There is no feed, no banners, and no algorithm deciding what comes next. Just your music, and a player that finally feels like yours. YOURS, NOT THE ALGORITHM'S No recommendations. No "made for you" that was made for everyone. Your page is built only from what you actually do: the records you played, the artists you saved, and your playlists, albums, and songs. Tap the heart on a song and it stays. That is the whole system. THE CRATE Your recent listens stack up like a crate of records you can flip back through. Pull one out and it plays. It is the fastest way back to whatever you had on last night. MAKE IT YOURS Five title fonts, five app icons, and a true black dark mode. Set it up once and it feels like your own player, not someone else's. EVERY FEATURED ARTIST, ONE TAP Tap the credits on any song, pick a name, and land on that artist's page. Features, collabs, producers who sing, all one tap away. BRING YOUR MUSIC One tap imports your Apple Music library: your playlists and your recently added songs. Everything lives right where you expect it, ready the moment you open the app. WE COLLECT NOTHING Again Music has no ads, no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything you save lives on your phone. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is genuinely nothing to collect. FAST, AND OUT OF THE WAY The whole app weighs less than a photo. It opens instantly, remembers exactly where you were, and never gets between you and the next song. ALSO IN THE BOX · A home screen widget that plays, pauses, and skips without opening the app · Full lock screen, AirPlay, and background playback · A queue you control: play next, add to queue, reorder on the fly · Search that learns which artists are yours · Session restore: close the app mid-song, come back tomorrow, it is still there EVERYTHING, FREE The whole app is free. No subscription to the app, no in-app purchases, no locked features. THE FINE PRINT Again Music requires an Apple Music subscription to play songs. If you are not a subscriber, the app offers to start Apple Music for you. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with Apple. Made by one person who wanted their music to feel like theirs again.
