Do you have an album collection of dozens to thousands of albums? Does the next song of an album already start playing in your head when one finishes? Longplay is for you. Longplay presents a beautiful view of the album artworks of the (near) complete albums in your music collection. It let's you rediscover forgotten favorites or just play the music you love, and explore it with various smart sort options: - Orderliness: by artist, then by album - Addiction: by amount of time spent listening - Brightness: by the primary color of the album artwork - Negligence: by the time it’s been since you’ve last listened to the album, weighted by the rating - Recency: by date added - Memory: by last played - Stars: by the rating you’ve provided for each song - Random: a new order, every time you tap it You can organize your albums into collections, which sync across your devices. Infinite album shuffle let's you stay in the flow, with smart shuffle depending on your current collection or sort order. It comes with a home screen widget that displays the top albums by your nominated sort order. On the larger widget, tap an album to play it, on the smallest it doubles as a "Feeling lucky" button to start playback of one of them. It supports CarPlay, Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight.t supports CarPlay, Siri, and Shortcuts. It works well with Apple Music, music purchased from iTunes or synced manually. --- Important: Longplay does not ship with any music included, it is instead a player for your music library - be it from Apple Music, iTunes or your synced music. It provides a filtered view of just the albums of which you have all or most of the songs, as well as your playlists; thus focusing on your album collection without any singles or albums where you only have very few songs. --- Tap an item to play (or pause). Long tap for additional options, such as adding to your album queue or to a collection. It works with libraries big and small, and besides regular albums it also handles compilation albums and playlists. Comes with Shortcuts actions to play a random top album by a defined sort order, or a random album, optionally filtered by artist or genre. All of that with Longplay's logic that makes sure that it's an album for which you have all or most songs. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Fully VoiceOver accessible.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Longplay at 4.6 against Cs Music Pro's 4.3. Longplay also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 65%). Cs Music Pro's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $7.49) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 170). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Cs Music Pro costs $3.99 and Longplay $7.49 up front. Cs Music Pro sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Longplay sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Longplay holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3.
