About this app

The app will show you all the music on your device, sorted by Artist, Album, and a list of all the songs. Your mp3s can be played, paused, and rewound.

Pick your favorite colors to bring back old memories

The click wheel works just like how you remember, with haptic feedback while scrolling. You can adjust the clickwheel clicker, shuffle songs, and/or repeat all options in the settings.

This was a lot of fun to make, if you have any suggestions please use the email below :)

Ratings and reviews

As neat as this app does what it should be, there is a problem on my end, it doesn't play all the songs that I have on my phone. It plays some songs, but not all of them. I don't know why. They're all mp3s, so I don't know what would be the issue. [EDIT: 11/5/22] - I've figured a solution to the problem. It involves sorting within the personal files under Music, and move any tracks within the subfolders towards the main Music section. And any track with "#- " needs to be renamed to normal.

Excellent. This brings back so many memories from the other ipod I had. Is there a way you can add the cover flow for this or some other editions of this app like the nano or something? If so, I appreciate it. Also, when I click on an album or artist, it doesn't appear expectedly, but when I click wheel, it only appears. Please fix that. Otherwise, it's great. Thanks!

I love the app a lot! Only problem I'm having is that the album art is showing up as the same one picture from one of the songs for all of them and I can't figure out a way to fix that. The pictures are correct in my files on my phone though. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help. Otherwise I've had no issues and really enjoy using the app
