About

Penta turns your iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo into a ’90s 5-disc CD changer for your Apple Music library. Every click, whir and tray motor is recorded from a real CD changer. 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, then drop the disc into the carousel. Hold it upright for a CD wallet over the tray that animates open and closed. Free, with an optional one-time Pro unlock for the real printed CD art.

AI Summary

Penta is an iOS app that simulates a 1990s 5-disc CD changer, allowing users to interact with their Apple Music library through a nostalgic interface. It is available for free, with an optional Pro upgrade for access to printed CD art.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
