Do you have some song files or MP3 tracks you need on loop? Or a MIDI-style recording or karaoke backtrack you want to practice with? Whether you're composing, singing, jamming, or just want to listen to a few songs over and over, Melos makes it easy. Import your MP3s, add what you want to your queue (even just one song), and hit play. The whole queue loops automatically, so you can set it and forget it — hands-free while you cook, or eyes-closed while you rest. What you get: * Automatic queue looping — add songs in any order, with repeats if you want (A, A, A, B, repeat) * Adjustable skip — scrub forward or back by 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds * Full playback controls — skip to next/previous song, scrub the progress bar, play/pause * Rearrange on the fly — reorder your queue, add or remove songs whenever * Song colors — visually organize your library * Lock screen controls * Light and dark mode Melos collects no data. No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases. Since it doesn’t have a server or send data anywhere, it doesn't cost me anything to run — so it's completely free. I built it because I personally needed it, and I hope it’s useful to you too!
