Vinyl Vibes '85
Experience the Magic of Vinyl, Digitally
Vinyl Vibes '85 isn't just another app - it's your personal time machine to the golden age of music. Created by Old Skool Apps, this beautifully crafted vinyl simulator brings the ritual and romance of playing records into the modern era.
Two Immersive Views
Record Player View-
Watch a gorgeous vinyl record spin at authentic speeds while an elegant stylus rests in the groove. Choose 33⅓ RPM for albums or 45 RPM for singles - just like the real thing. The hypnotic rotation and classic turntable aesthetic create the perfect visual companion to your music.
Now Playing Display-
Switch to the vintage "Now Playing" sign and showcase your album artwork in retro LED-style glory. It's like having your own personal record store display, highlighting the cover art that makes each album special.
Personalize Your Experience
Your Personal Collection
Upload up to 20 of your favorite albums and curate your own vinyl library. Swap them out anytime - add that new release, rotate in seasonal favorites, or keep your current obsessions front and center.
Your collection, your rules.
Color Palettes That Match Your Mood
Decade Themes: Transport yourself to a specific era with authentic color palettes from the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. Each decade has its own vibe - from psychedelic 60s hues to neon 80s brilliance.
AI-Generated Palettes: Let artificial intelligence surprise you with unique, one-of-a-kind color combinations that create fresh atmospheres every time.
Album-Based Palettes: Upload an album cover and watch the app automatically generate a custom color palette based on its artwork. Your background becomes an extension of the album itself, creating a fully immersive visual experience.
Simple, Authentic Controls
No complicated menus or confusing settings. Just pure, intuitive controls that mirror the simplicity of actual turntables:
• One-touch play/pause
• Easy speed switching (33⅓ / 45 RPM)
• Seamless view toggling
• Quick album selection from your collection
The Old Skool Apps Promise
Zero Data Tracking - We don't know what you're listening to, and we don't want to. Your music taste is yours alone.
Works With Everything - Use Vinyl Vibes '85 alongside Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or any audio app. It's a visual experience that enhances whatever you're already using.
Made With Love - Every pixel, every animation, every color palette was crafted to capture the authentic feeling of playing vinyl records. This isn't corporate nostalgia - it's genuine passion from someone who remembers.

Why Vinyl Vibes '85?
Because music deserves more than a tiny progress bar and shuffled playlists. It deserves intention. Ritual. Beauty.
Vinyl Vibes '85 brings back the ceremony of selecting an album, watching the needle drop, and letting the music play - all without the storage space, maintenance, or cost of actual vinyl.
It's not trying to replace your record collection. It's celebrating it in a new way.
