SepiaPod - Retro Music Player

This app was recommended in a TikTok comment on a video for a similar app, and it is so much better. While the other app only allowed up to ten downloaded songs, this one’s syncs directly to Apple Music. The interface is incredibly seamless and clean. I’ve recommended this app to so many people, and they love it just as much as I do! My only minor complaint is that I noticed the lyric function doesn’t work. I’m unsure if it’s incompatible with Apple Music or just a user error on my part. Regardless, it is still such a cool app. I love how it mimics a real iPod classic, and being able to change the color is a fantastic touch. I also agree with other reviewers that it would be awesome to add wallpaper customization and stickers in a future update. Please never get rid of this; I’m never using the regular music app again!

Thank you so much for this amazing app!!! You have recreate touch and feel of original iPod. Even the widget is elegant. In order to be even closer to the iPod classic, I’m thinking of three improvements. First one, there are less haptic clicks than moves on screen. The second improvement, is to add Cover Flow section directly at the top of Menu above “Playlists”. The last thing is to add volume control with wheel click. These are details but the most important is that this app is really close to the original and one more time THANK YOU for your work!

I absolutely love this app. I’ve been looking for an iPod-style music player that actually works with my Apple Music library, and this is exactly what I wanted. The click wheel feels authentic, including the scroll acceleration and click sounds, which really capture the original iPod experience. I also love the customizable device colors (Sky is gorgeous!) and the dark theme. It imported my Apple Music playlists and library after I granted permission, and new playlists and downloaded songs appeared after reopening the app. The cloud icon also clearly shows which songs are streaming versus downloaded for offline playback, which is a nice touch. It genuinely feels like using a modern iPod. Thank you for putting so much care into recreating the experience! The only thing I’d love to see in the future is automatic library syncing in the background, so newly created Apple Music playlists appear without needing to reopen the app. Even without that, it’s an easy 5 stars.
