Some of you may be old enough to remember the days long before digital music when many of us used to tape the top 40 off the radio on a tape recorder so we could then listen to music on the go via a Sony Walkman. Now the Vintape iOS app brings back that 1980s music listening experience.
The Vintape iOS application has recently been treated to an update which is basically bringing a vintage cassette player to an iOS device. Users can fast forward or rewind the tape and you even get the display rotating just like a real cassette tape.
It will bring a funky music player to your mobile device and there are a number of different cassette skins available, and you can even enable the background noise that many tape players were guilty of back in the day.
The application can also be used by the Apple headphone buttons, and it will let you create playlists just like any modern music player but these make up a virtual cassette tape. On the top of the cassette tape the playlist is displayed.
It will also support a large number of different languages and Vintape 1.3.1 is available on the App Store for £0.69/$0.99 for owners of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch with iOS 6.0 or later.
