"Single handedly made me fall in love with my music again. The brilliance of this app is not only what it does, but what it doesn't do as well. I've been able to revisit albums I haven't listened to in years and enjoy albums I've just discovered."

"When I was growing up, my dad had a 100-CD disc changer for the house. Most of the time he just had it on the shuffle mode which would play an entire album before changing to the next one. Ever since entering the digital music era, I've dreamed of having that experience with my own music. Thank you for making my dreams come true."

Rediscover Your Album Collection

Like standing in front of your CD or vinyl collection, but with digital superpowers. Longplay shows you a beautiful wall of album artwork, focusing only on albums where you've added most of the songs.

Complete Albums Only

Shows only those albums where you've added all (or most) of the songs. No more scrolling through incomplete albums—just the music you actually have.

Smart Sorting & Sizing

Sort by "Negligence" to find forgotten gems, or "Addiction" to see your most-played. Size albums by different metrics for a personalized view.

Powerful Search

Search by artist or album title. Use advanced syntax like "beatles -white" to find all Beatles albums except The White Album.

Hide What You Don't Want

Hide kids' albums, meditation tracks, or anything else cluttering your view. They stay accessible in their own collections if needed.

Stay in Your Listening Flow

Once you start listening, Longplay keeps you in the groove. Seamless transitions between albums, smart shuffle, and playback modes designed for album lovers.

Infinite Album Shuffle

Hold down the shuffle button to start cycling through albums. Let go to pick one that catches your eye. Swipe left or right to manually browse your queue—it's like having a personal DJ who knows your taste.

Album Purity Mode New in 2.3

Next/previous buttons move between albums, not tracks. Perfect for pure album listening like in the old days.

Smart Rating Integration

Rate songs in-app and set playback to auto-skip tracks below your preferred rating. Your ratings influence all sort orders.

Organize Your Music Your Way

Create collections for any occasion—road trips, workout playlists, chill evenings, or organize by genre, decade, or mood. Your music, your rules.

Flexible Collections

Group albums and playlists however makes sense to you. Road trip music, kids' albums, languages, live recordings—organize by whatever matters to you.

iCloud Sync

Your collections, hidden albums, ratings, and listening stats sync seamlessly across all your devices via iCloud.
