Questions, answered.
How do I scrobble Apple Music to Last.fm?
Connect your Last.fm account in Marquee once, and every song you play is scrobbled automatically — no separate background scrobbler app needed. How to scrobble Apple Music →
What does Marquee scrobble to Last.fm?
Everything you play in Marquee — your library, search, album pages, and radio — following standard Last.fm rules: a track scrobbles after half its length or four minutes, whichever comes first. Offline plays are queued and submitted when you’re back online. Plays made in other apps, including Apple’s Music app, aren’t scrobbled by Marquee — iOS doesn’t let third-party players observe them.
Can I see my Apple Music listening stats any time?
Yes. Marquee’s Library Insights screen works from day one — it reads your library’s lifetime play counts, with charts of your top artists, albums, and genres. No waiting for a year-end recap. See your Apple Music stats →
How do I get notified when an artist releases new music?
Marquee’s Upcoming Releases screen reads the artists in your Apple Music library and shows their new albums automatically — with Marquee Pro adding countdowns for what’s coming and a notification on release day. Get new release notifications →
Can you customize Apple Music with themes?
Apple’s Music app only follows system light or dark mode. Marquee gives your Apple Music library unlimited custom color themes and five alternate app icons. Customize with themes →
What player styles does Marquee have?
Seven now-playing styles: Classic, Full-Screen, Vinyl, Cassette, CD, Equalizer, and Marquee. Vinyl spins your album on a turntable, Cassette plays it on a tape deck with winding spools, CD spins your album on a hi-fi compact disc deck, Equalizer turns the artwork into dancing bars, and Marquee sets it on a theater-style stage with golden chasing bulbs, a lacquer finish that matches your theme, and the ticket-card look straight from the app icon. Styles beyond Classic are part of Marquee Pro — switch any time from Customize in the app.
Why is it called Marquee?
A marquee is the theater sign ringed with chasing bulbs — it’s the app icon, and the look the whole app is built around. The Marquee player style puts your album on that stage, the Marquee widget brings the sign to your home screen, and the Marquee story composition lets you post it.
Does Marquee have iPhone home screen widgets?
Yes — animated deck widgets that spin a vinyl record, wind cassette reels, dance your album art as equalizer bars, or spin a CD, the Marquee widget with golden bulbs chasing around your album art, plus Music Player widgets with play/pause and skip controls, Upcoming Releases and City Charts widgets, and lock screen widgets — all themed to match the look you choose in the app. How to add music widgets →
Do Marquee’s widgets really animate?
Yes. The deck widgets animate while music plays — the vinyl record spins, cassette reels wind, album art dances as equalizer bars, the CD spins, and the Marquee widget chases its bulbs around your album art — and they pause when playback pauses. And they don’t drain your battery: the animation is drawn by the same system mechanism that renders the Home Screen clock, so no app code runs while a widget animates. They stay legible in tinted and clear home screen modes. Part of Marquee Pro.
Can Marquee add my CDs and vinyl to Apple Music?
Yes — point Marquee’s barcode scanner at any album you own and it jumps straight to that album in Apple Music, so you can rebuild your physical collection in your streaming library in minutes. The scanner is free.
Does Marquee have a weekly listening recap?
Yes — every Sunday evening, Your Week recaps your listening: your hours, plays, and top artist, free. Marquee Pro adds the deeper tiles, like day-by-day listening bars and your top albums and artists of the week.
Do Marquee’s stats include listening from before I installed it?
Your lifetime totals do — they’re built on the play counts iOS keeps for your whole library, so all-time stats are there from day one. Time-windowed stats like Last Week and Your Week track from the day you install, since earlier plays can’t be placed in time, and your first Your Week recap arrives the following Sunday. Connect Last.fm to keep a permanent history from here on out.
Can I share what I’m listening to on Instagram Stories?
Yes — tap the share button in the player and Marquee turns the current song into a story-ready video built around the album artwork: a spinning vinyl record, winding cassette, spinning CD, animated equalizer, or the Marquee look with its chasing bulbs. It hands the video to the share sheet, so it works with Instagram Stories and any app that accepts video. Sharing is free.
What languages does Marquee support?
Marquee is available in English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese, and follows your device language automatically. To use a different language just for Marquee, set it in Settings → Marquee → Language.
Is there a Spotify Wrapped for Apple Music?
Apple’s answer is Replay, which updates weekly. Marquee goes further with live listening stats you can open any day of the year. Wrapped for Apple Music →
Is Marquee free?
Yes. Marquee is free to download and use — the full player, library browsing, live radio, Last.fm scrobbling, the barcode scanner, sharing to Stories, and new-release browsing. Marquee Pro unlocks listening stats, upcoming-release countdowns and day-one alerts, player styles, animated deck widgets, unlimited custom themes, and premium icons — as a subscription with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase with no renewals, ever.
Can I buy Marquee Pro once instead of subscribing?
Yes. Alongside the monthly and yearly subscriptions, Marquee Pro offers a one-time lifetime unlock — pay once, keep everything, no renewals ever. Current pricing for all three options is shown in the app.
Do I need an Apple Music subscription to use Marquee?
Yes — Marquee is a player for Apple Music, not a separate music service, so it requires an active Apple Music subscription and iOS 26 or later. It’s designed for every iPhone size, from the SE up.
