iPod Classicβ¦ but it streams. No mods. No hacks. No nostalgia compromise. I missed this: that simple, focused way of listening to music (no distractions, no endless scrolling) But: iPod = no streaming Modern apps = no soul So I built this An iOS app that brings back the iPod experience: β’ Apple Music as your streaming engine β’ Podcasts built-in β’ Import your own music (FLAC / ALAC) β’ Lossless + 7.1 + Spatial Audio β’ DSD64 / DSD128+ (USB DAC or PCM fallback Your iPhone. But it feels like an iPod again. English only (for now) More features + languages coming If you grew up with an iPodβ this will hit different. Feedback welcome

We-be Jukebox is a personal music player for people who want a simple, private way to enjoy the music they own. Import songs from Files or Apple Music, sync eligible purchases from We-be, organize tracks into playlists, and listen from your phone, Bluetooth speaker, headphones, car stereo, or lock screen.

We-be Jukebox is a paid app with no ads, no third-party ad tracking, no subscriptions, and no social feed.
