Vinyl Tap allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes just as you used to. You’ll have to decide on one of the seven different turntable styles, each with seven vinyl colors to choose from. Then select an artist or album from your library and hit play to start spinning your vinyl. Drag the needle and drop it on top of the vinyl to start playing music. The position of the needle determines the point in the song. You’re also able to mess with the playback speed via on-screen controls.
