Aura: Retro Music Player is a deeply customizable Apple Music companion, shown as Retro Aura on your Home Screen. It combines one modern listening experience with 43 retro-inspired visual themes, smart mixes, scrobbling, crossfade, lyrics, radio, and matching widgets.
ONE PLAYER. 43 IDENTITIES.
Keep the same Home, Browse, Library, Search, Radio, and Now Playing experience while transforming the entire visual style. Choose Aura Light, Dark, or Black, or switch to retro-inspired terminal, pixel, arcade, synthwave, cassette-era, and vintage desktop looks.
Every visual theme is included.
MIX YOUR MUSIC
• Magic Mix creates listening collections from your music
• Mix Lab lets you shape music by energy, tempo, and sound
• Music Roulette helps you rediscover something unexpected
• Listening Sessions build focused queues for different moods
• Music Moments turn your listening history into curated chapters
SCROBBLING
Connect Last.fm or ListenBrainz to keep your listening history in sync. Retro Aura supports now-playing updates, completed-track scrobbles, and an offline queue that retries when connectivity returns.
NOW PLAYING

• Synced lyrics when available
• Up Next queue controls
• Crossfade with adjustable duration
• Favorites and library actions
• AirPlay and compatible audio outputs
• Album, artist, and credits navigation
• Live radio metadata
DISCOVER
• Personalized Home shelves

• Charts and music videos
• Genres, moods, radio, and catalog discovery

WIDGETS
Add Now Playing, queue, vinyl deck, and quick-launch widgets. Widgets follow your selected visual identity and provide fast access to playback, discovery, and Studio features.
YOUR LIBRARY
Browse songs, albums, artists, and playlists from the Music library. Purchased or computer-synced music available through Apple’s Music library may also be accessible without an Apple Music subscription.
REQUIREMENTS
An Apple Music subscription is required for Apple Music catalog streaming, radio, music videos, and subscription-based discovery features. Access to purchased or synced library music depends on MusicKit availability, the user’s account, region, and device library.
Retro Aura uses Apple Music and MusicKit for catalog and library access. It does not stream music from other services. Last.fm and ListenBrainz integrations are used only for scrobbling.
