RandomPlay is a new iPhone app from Chilli X that offers to create ‘unique interactive visual playlists on your iPhone or iPod Touch ‘.
It ‘s quite a basic app, but is quite good at what it does, and easy to use.
Here are some of RandomPlay ‘s key features and abilities:
Play/Pause
Just tap the cover of the song that ‘s playing to pause it or tap another cover to play that track instead.Delete tracks
Double tap any song you don ‘t want to hear and it will be replaced by another.Song info
The artist and song title of the currently playing track are displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you’re not sure exactly what songs are queued up to be played, you can tap and hold any cover to pop up a window displaying the info for that track.Shake to Shuffle
If you don ‘t like the look of any of the tracks RandomPlay has chosen, just shake the device to replace all 12 with another random selection.RandomPlay likes to look good, so will only choose tracks with cover artwork, and because we think it works best with music, RandomPlay will also try to filter out your podcasts and audiobooks.
As soon as you launch the app, it starts playing a song and shows you album art for the 12 randomly selected songs from your music library in its current playlist, including the one it ‘s now playing.
Controlling what gets played is easy “ just tap on a playing song to pause or restart it, double tap on any track ‘s album art to remove it from the current playlist, or just shake the iPhone to get a brand new set of 12 songs.
When one 12-song playlist finishes, another automatically starts up, so you don ‘t have to babysit it if you ‘re happy with just random selections “ and of course you can jump in at any point to get rid of songs you ‘re not in the mood for.
I can ‘t see using the app in place of favorite playlists I ‘ve put together, but I do think I ‘ll get good use out of it when I ‘m in the mood for just a random shuffle, but with a little more ability to dive in and modify some of what gets thrown at me.
RandomPlay is available in the iPhone App Store now, priced at $0.99.
