Time Player Cassette

Put your music back on tape. Four retro themes, covers you can zoom and crop, and a new world of poetry and moving mechanisms when you unfold iPhone Duo.

Put your music back on tape.

Time Player is a cassette deck that lives in your phone. Bring your own songs, recordings and sounds, turn them into virtual tapes, choose a shell and cover, and press Play. Watch the reels turn, hear the transport click, and give your music something you can flip, keep and return to.

MAKE YOUR OWN TAPES Import audio from Files, name your tape, add a creator and arrange the tracks. New tapes hold up to eight tracks per side, sixteen in total. Drag and pinch your cover image, or use the zoom slider for finer adjustments, with a preview before you confirm. Supports MP3, M4A/AAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF and FLAC.

BRING BACK THE RITUAL Play, stop, fast-forward, rewind and flip sides, with adjustable tape hiss and button haptics. Each tape remembers where you stopped. Swap it out, come back later and pick up where you left off. Keep, back up or share the .tctape files you create using the system share tools.

FOUR LOOKS, FOUR MOODS Choose Serene, Time 1988, Classic or Jimboy. Each has its own body, keys, knobs and switches. On a standard iPhone, each theme uses its intended landscape or portrait layout. You can also install custom .tctheme packages.

MORE TO UNFOLD ON IPHONE DUO Use your cassette player on the outer display, then unfold to discover its companion view: • Serene: a motor, belt and drive wheels that respond to playback. • Time 1988: glowing vacuum tubes, VU meters that follow the audio, and a clock. • Classic: a poetry page that accompanies the current track. • Jimboy: lyrics when your tape includes them, or a timeline of the tape.

A LITTLE POETRY WITH YOUR MUSIC On supported devices, systems, languages and regions, Classic can use Apple Intelligence to write an original short poem inspired by the song information. Built-in verse and manual editing are available when generation is unavailable. Generation and network requirements depend on the availability of Apple's intelligence services.

LOCAL MUSIC, QUIET LISTENING No account, sign-in, ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Imported tapes play offline. The optional Apple Intelligence poetry feature has its own availability requirements.

Time Player includes an original spoken instruction tape. It does not provide a commercial music catalog, streaming or music downloads. Bring audio files you own and have the right to use.
