Rewind Echo: Cassette Player

Bring digital albums back to the cassette days. Digital albums, remade as tactile virtual tapes. Handwriting, stickers and widgets keep the old days on your phone.

Your favorite music, made into 3D cassette tapes.

Rewind Echo is a cassette-style player for Apple Music and your own local audio. Pick an album or playlist, watch its artwork become a tape, and press play. Give the music you love a place you can see, touch, and make your own.

■ Two ways to connect your music Apple Music: Connect on the welcome screen or in Settings → Music Access → Apple Music. Browse your library, albums and playlists, or search the catalog. Local Music: Choose Local Music on the welcome screen or in Settings → Music Access. Tap the plus card to import a folder, review the import, and organize your own audio into cassettes. Imported audio can play offline without an Apple Music subscription or media-library permission. Originals are not moved or deleted.

■ Bring your own lyrics Import matching LRC/TXT files or supported embedded lyrics. Play a local track with lyrics, switch to the Artwork page and tap its artwork. Timestamped lyrics follow playback; plain text is displayed for reading. Lyrics come from your files, not a lyrics-download service.

■ Choose a song from a cassette Touch and hold a cassette in the library shelf to view its songs, then tap a track to play it. Switch to About to read an Apple Music album or playlist description when available.

■ A real 3D cassette for every album Each tape is modeled in three dimensions, with detailed light, shadow, and texture. Artwork and colors come from the album itself, giving every cassette its own character.

■ The feel of a vintage player A black mechanical panel, aged-paper textures, and buttons with a satisfying sense of weight bring back the ritual of listening on tape. Optional simulation mode pauses playback while you change albums, like swapping a cassette.

■ Smooth 3D transitions Move between albums, your library, and the player with fluid cassette animations. Choosing what to hear becomes part of the experience.

■ Handwriting and stickers, just for your tapes On the player’s information page showing the 3D cassette, touch and hold the tape to write a label or add stickers, including photo stickers. Keep a favorite lyric, a date, or a small memory on the music it belongs to. Requires a one-time Pro purchase.

■ A nostalgic look for album art Apply a vintage filter to the cover and give new releases the colors of an old favorite. Compatible Apple Music albums and playlists also support motion artwork when provided; local files do not receive Apple Music motion artwork.

Also included: · Browse your Apple Music library, playlists, and catalog search. · Put the currently playing cassette on your Home Screen with widgets. Requires Pro. · Free to download, with no ads. One purchase unlocks Pro handwriting, stickers, and widgets; Rewind Echo Pro has no recurring subscription.

Full-length Apple Music catalog playback requires a separate Apple Music subscription and access permission. Importing and playing local audio needs no Apple Music subscription. Pro does not include an Apple Music subscription. Song availability depends on your region.

Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. For iPhone, iOS 17 or later.
