Penta - CD Player & Changer

Penta turns your iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo into a five-disc CD changer — the hi-fi component you grew up with, rebuilt for your Apple Music library.

Open a jewel case, drop the disc into the carousel, and play. Every detail is here: the fluorescent display, the motorized carousel, the power-on self-test, a disc winding up to speed before it plays, and the clunk as it comes to a stop.

ON IPHONE DUO
The phone is the jewel case. Close it and you're holding the album; open it and the case opens with it. Open flat for the whole deck, or fold it like a laptop for your CD wallet above the tray.

FEATURES
• A real five-disc carousel — load, spin, and swap discs by hand
• Real sounds, recorded from a five-disc changer: key clicks, the tray, the platter turning and a disc set down
• A different deck each way up: the full carousel sideways, a CD wallet over the tray upright
• Jewel-case browser — open the case and drag the disc out, or drop it straight into any of the five slots
• Plays your Apple Music library in full, with real album art on every disc
• Keys you can feel — on iPhone every key clicks under your thumb
• Magazines — save a set of five discs and reload the whole cartridge later
• Favorites, whole-library search, and Apple Music catalog search
• A vacuum-fluorescent display with track, time, and format readouts
• Any way up on iPad, and in resizable windows
• Favorites and saved magazines sync across your devices via iCloud

PENTA PRO
A one-time unlock: Real CD Artwork (beta) shows the actual printed disc instead of the album cover, plus the full phosphor-colour set, the analog needle and VU meters, a gentle readable spin, the minimal readout, and unlimited saved magazines. The free deck plays your whole library with no limits.

Albums you own play without a subscription. Streaming from the Apple Music catalog needs an Apple Music subscription.
