Features & Capabilities

Music Player for listening/study material. Fantastic learning aid for all language students. This app is especially made for anyone who studies a foreign language and who listens to CDs which come with text books or podcasts.

• When listening to a CD, some parts can be difficult to hear correctly and you can't understand by listening only a few times. You want to and need to repeat that part many times.  Set playback area and you can repeat that particular area as many times as you want.  (A-B repeat playback).

• You can save the clip and listen to it later. Send the clip as an email with attachment, or upload to Twitter or Facebook so your friends and teacher can listen to it too. (*)

• Adjustable playback speed.

• List up Recently studied albums. • Track selection screen has a scroll bar so you can directly scroll to the track you need.  This is useful when a CD contains many short tracks. • Directly move tracks from the player screen.  If your listening material tells you "Move to track number xx", you can move directly without going back to the track selection screen.

  • Clipping is restricted to maximum 3 minutes.
  • This player does not support to play back music with DRM (copy guard protection).

User Reviews

AB Player is valued for its AB repeat feature, letting users save and reuse sections, and for supporting language-learning with repeatable playback. It also offers a notable Notability split-view on iPad for simultaneous study. However, several reviews warn that the UI can be confusing and mislead about Apple Music integration. Overall, the app is strong for repetition-based practice and language learning, with some UX improvements needed.
Pros
  • AB repeat feature is phenomenal with the ability to save and reuse multiple sections.
  • Excellent language-learning support with repeatable playback for studying content.
  • Split-view support with Notability on iPad enables simultaneous study.
Cons
  • Confusing and sometimes misleading user interface, particularly around Apple Music integration.

This app worked just fine for a while now whenever I try to play a song on it I get a message that says it cannot play the song because it’s copyright protected by Apple. What’s going on?

This app is great and has helped me with analyzing music. Yet it would be great if this app could support importing audio from other apps and sources. It makes me have to constantly use my PC to have to import audio via iTunes to Apple Music which I won't always have especially if I'm traveling.

One important function is jump back 3 seconds but the button is too small to use. And its screen position is wrong. It should be put in the middle of screen and above play/pause button. And also plz make it bigger than paly/pause button so that we can use it to listen to the part that is just missed or not understood very well. Now it is 2 second jumpback and I think the timespan should be adjustable.
