ZipTunes Music Player and Playlist Creator

ZipTunes is the fastest and easiest way to create random playlists on your iPhone or iPod touch. If you frequently use your iPod to make custom playlists for your workout, a party, entertaining guests, or showing off your music library to your friends, ZipTunes is for you.

Just select any combination of genre, artist, album, or rating, and ZipTunes automatically creates a random playlist for you. After creating and starting your playlist, you can rearrange the playlist, remove songs, or add more songs, all while your current playlist is playing.

ZipTunes is especially great at finding your favorite artists and albums if you have a large music library. At any time, you can make great playlists by limiting your results by rating. Also, when you browse your genres, artists, and albums, your results are automatically sorted using a proprietary algorithm that finds your favorite genres, artists, and albums with great accuracy. Alphabetical and reverse alphabetical sorting are available as well, but the favorites sorting algorithm makes these almost obsolete.

DOES NOT FEATURE
To prevent potential disappointment, we should mention that ZipTunes does NOT feature:

* Browsing music library by composer
- Using your iPod playlists
- Saving playlists: though ZipTunes saves your last used playlist for future reuse, there is no user interface to name the saved playlist or save more than one playlist.
- Browsing individual songs in your library: ZipTunes was made to create playlists automatically based on a combination of restrictions rather than by picking individual songs. If you want total control over your playlist, though, you can easily get any results you want by editing your playlist. In fact, we have found that creating a random playlist and then editing the results while it is playing is almost always more convenient than picking individual songs.
