Even if your audio setup doesn’t go to 11, Vinyl Tap will let you rock out pre-cassette style. For a couple of bucks, the app transforms your iPad into a portable record player. All the feeling of listening to some vinyl is there, from the crackling of the needle dropping to the quiet spinning after the party has died and everyone’s passed out. With Vinyl Tap, you can drag and drop the needle, flip the digital records over for some B-sides and even play the tracks right from your iTunes library. Best of all, you won’t need to acquire a ton of milk crates.
