Catsette vs VERENOR

Catsette is a retro MP3 player for the music you own. Play your MP3, FLAC, AAC, WAV and AIFF files offline – no streaming, no subscription, no ads, no account. THREE LOOKS, ONE LIBRARY • Cassette: a hi-fi deck with tape window, cover art and the full queue, in five chassis colours. • Spindle: a tactile click wheel with a warm display. Spin to browse, click to play. • Modern: a clean iPhone layout with tabs, a mini player, full-screen Now Playing and native lists. Light and dark follow your phone. Switch any time under Settings → Look → Style. YOUR MUSIC, YOUR WAY • Drag and drop songs or whole folders from your computer over Wi-Fi (Catsette Web), or use the Files app and AirDrop. • Copy your whole library from another iPhone with Catsette. • Playlists, favourites, a dislike list and "Hide from Shuffle". • Shuffle that plays your whole library before anything repeats and spreads artists apart. • 10-band equalizer with presets or your own curve, with live spectrum bars. • Listening stats: top songs, artists and albums, plus your play history. • Gapless playback: songs follow each other without a gap. • Even Volume: quiet and loud songs matched, if you want. • Search your library by song, artist, album or playlist. MADE FOR THE CAR AND THE SAUNA • Maps Ducking pulls the music out of the way while Apple Maps or Google Maps speaks. • Sleep timer and a sauna countdown on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. CAT CHAT Message family and friends right inside Catsette – one-to-one or in groups, end-to-end encrypted on your iPhone. • No phone number, no account: add people by QR code, six-digit code or link, and nobody gets in without your OK. • Photos, videos and files, encrypted before they leave your phone. • Notifications show who wrote and what – decrypted on your iPhone, even when Catsette is closed. Reply right from the notification. • Report and block with a long-press. CATS AND DOGS Tabby, Black Cat, Siamese, Scottish Fold, Zebra and Leopard – or Golden, Husky, Dalmatian and Shiba. Use a photo of your own pet as the player's fur. Free. If you like it, feed the cat (optional tip). Privacy: https://catsette.com/privacy.html
