retro_player.mp3
Retro MP3 & offline music
Free · In‑App Purchases
Your MP3s, like it's 2003. A dot-matrix player for the music you own, now made for iPhone Duo. Try 3 tracks free, then unlock it all once. Offline, no ads.
retro_player.mp3 plays the music you already own, the way a player from 1983 would have if it had been designed in Germany and shipped in 2003.
DOT-MATRIX DISPLAY
Your music drives a square LED panel, unlit dots and all. Six display styles: Bars with red peak caps, Mirror, Scope, Pulse, Warp and Rain. Pick yours in Settings or tap the display, and the dots fly over to the new one. Turn on Auto VJ and now and then the panel moves on by itself, with a transition: a swirl, a burst, a dissolve or a CRT wipe.
AUTOMIX
Turn it on and every track crossfades into the next. retro_player trims the silence at the end of one song and the start of the next, so the mix lands on the music. Choose 4, 8 or 12 seconds.
PIXEL COVER ART
Every track gets its own generated LED cover: invaders, synthwave suns, rings, skylines. It's on the lock screen and in Control Center.
NAMES LIKE IT'S 2003
Show titles clean, as the raw file name, or in full Y2K style: xX~sOnG_nAmE~Xx.mp3.
YOUR FILES, YOUR LISTS
Import MP3, M4A, WAV and AIFF from the Files app, or drop them into Files › On My iPhone › retro_player. Make lists, reorder them, play them.
MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Open it and the player sits on one side with your lists on the other, the fold between them. Half-fold it and the display stands on the top half, with your library below.
RETRO_PLAYER PRO
The free version plays the first 3 tracks in your library. retro_player Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks every track, for good. No subscription. Had the app before version 1.2? You keep full access.
NOTHING ELSE
No account. No streaming. No ads. No tracking. Works offline.
Black, white and one red. Less, but better.
