About

Script Music Player

Features
Read full description

A complete iPad player and an optional wireless remote for the full Mac app. Use this app independently, or pair with Script Music Player for Mac 1.0 or later to control the Mac’s playback, volume, Advance, Loop, Fade and Echo. Audio plays on the Mac. Pairing is remembered for reconnection when you reopen the app. Both devices need local-network permission and a network that allows communication. Keep the remote active while controlling the show. Project files and music are not transferred by remote control. The room is ready. You say the line, tap GO, and the right song starts from the exact point you chose. Script Music Player puts your script and music cues on one screen. Each cue card holds the words you need to say—an introduction, reading, speaker note, or stage direction—beside the song that follows. You can stay focused on the people in front of you instead of switching between notes and a music app. READ THE CUE. TAP GO. • Start each song from the point you choose. • Give every cue its own start and stop point. • Use different sections of the same full recording for different moments. • Tap Advance to fade the current song to silence and begin the next cue. • See what is playing, what is next, and elapsed, remaining, and total time. PREPARE BEFORE THE EVENT Save each ceremony, reception, show, recital, class, presentation, or production as its own project. Reopen it on the day you need it with the script, cue order, song settings, playlist, and imported music together. MUSIC READY ON YOUR DEVICE Import audio files from Files into organized music folders so the songs you need are available offline. Daylight mode adds contrast for outdoor work, and the app keeps the display awake while active. iOS may still reduce screen brightness if the device gets hot. PLAYLIST PLAYER FOR DOWNTIME When no one is reading from a script, use Playlist Player for cocktail hour, dinner, pre-show, intermission, or background music. Add a whole music folder, replace or add to the current playlist, reorder songs, choose Continuous or Random playback, and use Fade or Advance for a smooth change. BUILT FOR LIVE MOMENTS Designed by a working wedding DJ for DJs and MCs, officiants and celebrants, event hosts, ceremony coordinators, presenters, stage managers, theater and dance productions, coaches, instructors, and anyone who needs words and music to land together. TRY THE WORKFLOW FREE Your first three Live Cues are free with no time limit. Build them, rehearse them, and feel how the app works before paying. Cue four and beyond, plus Playlist Player, require paid access. There is no timed free trial. In the U.S., choose $3.99 weekly, $14.99 monthly, $59.99 yearly, or $99.99 lifetime. Prices in other regions are shown in the app before purchase. Weekly, monthly, and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions, or use Manage Subscriptions in the app. Lifetime is a one-time purchase that never expires. Buying lifetime access does not cancel an existing subscription. Restore Purchases is available, and existing lifetime purchases remain valid. Use audio files you own or have permission to use. Imported audio is stored locally for offline playback. Protected streaming-service tracks cannot be imported as audio files.
