Vinyl Music Player for Apple Music

A record player app for your Apple Music library

Apple’s Music app has one Now Playing screen. Marquee has eight, and Vinyl is the one for anyone who grew up with records or still buys them: your album spins on a turntable for as long as the music plays. It works with your real Apple Music library — the same songs, playlists, and catalog — so there’s nothing to import. Comparing record player apps? See how Marquee stacks up as an MD Vinyl alternative.

On iPad, the Vinyl style has its own landscape layout, like all eight of Marquee’s player styles.

A vinyl music player on your Mac

Marquee’s iPad app runs on Macs with an Apple M1 chip or later and macOS 26 or later, so you can put the turntable on your desktop too. In the Mac App Store, search for Marquee and look under iPhone & iPad Apps. It’s the same app as on iPad, so there’s nothing extra to buy.

A vinyl widget that actually spins

Take the turntable to your home screen. Marquee’s animated vinyl deck widget spins the record while music plays and pauses when your music pauses. The animation is drawn by the same system mechanism that renders the Home Screen clock, so no app code runs while it animates and it won’t drain your battery. See all of them on the animated music widgets page.

Share it as a spinning record

Tap the share button in the player and Marquee turns the current song into a story-ready video built around the album artwork, including a spinning vinyl record. It goes straight to the share sheet, so it works with Instagram Stories and any app that accepts video. Sharing is free.

How to turn on the Vinyl player

1. Download Marquee free from the App Store and allow access to Apple Music.
2. Go to the Customize tab and pick the Vinyl player style. Styles beyond Classic are part of Marquee Pro, which starts with a free trial.
3. Play any song, album, or playlist and open Now Playing.
