What People Are Saying
See what people appreciate and enjoy about Longplay.
"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."
Complete Albums Only
Longplay analyses your library to show only albums where you've added most or all of the songs. See a wall of the albums you actually care about.
Complete Albums Only
Shows only albums where you've added all (or most) of the songs. No more scrolling through incomplete albums.
Beautiful Album Wall
Artwork-first interface that shows off your album covers. Visual browsing and instant recognition, just like flipping through vinyl.
Visual Discovery
Browse by artwork, not text lists. Different ways to sort and size albums to see your library from new angles.
Clean & Focussed
No clutter. This is about your albums. And hide those kids' or sleep albums by default, until you need them.
Album-Focused Playback
Pure album listening designed for how albums were meant to be experienced. Plays albums the way you want, with options to keep going when one ends. Create your own queues, pick and choose, or enable infinite album shuffle.
Infinite Album Shuffle
Enable to get another album when one ends. Or hold down the shuffle button to start cycling through albums, and let go to pick one that catches your eye – like a visual jukebox.
CarPlay Integration
Take your albums and collections on the road. Access your entire music library with a driving-optimised interface that's perfect for road trips and commutes.
Album Purity Mode New in 2.3
Next/previous buttons move between albums, not tracks. No track shuffle. Perfect for pure album listening like in the old days. (If you want.)
Rating Integration
Rate songs in-app and set playback to auto-skip tracks below your preferred rating. Your ratings influence various sort orders.

Organise with Collections
Create collections that reflect how you think about music—road trips, rainy days, workout energy, or organise by era, mood, and memory. Organise albums your way.
Personal Collections
Group albums by whatever matters to you—road trip soundtracks, Sunday morning chill, workout energy, languages, decades, or pure nostalgia.
Smart Collections New in 2.4
Use Shortcuts to create dynamic collections that update automatically based on over a dozen criteria like genre, year, ratings, or percentage listened.
Context-Aware Organisation
Hide albums that don't fit your current context. Focus on what matters now while keeping everything accessible when you need it.
Album Inspector
Deep dive into album details, track listings, listening stats, and edit metadata.
Automation and AI
Trigger albums on keystroke, automate to fit your routine, or integrate with AI assistants. Like having someone who knows your music taste help you explore your library.
