Summary: For the last 3 days I have been playing with this fantastic iPad application called Vinyl Tap and I have loved every minute of it. Vinyl Tap is a novelty application for your iPad that simulates a record player to play the music you have on your iPad. The detail of this application is amazing, it even includes the "pop and scratch" sounds when you first place the needle on an album. Vinyl Tap features two different players: T-800 which is a standard turntable with multi-colored strobe simulator and the T-1000 which is a linear tracking turntable that features a digital display and track scanner. More players are coming to the application in the future, stay tuned. Let me talk about the attention to detail with this application, the animation for flipping the album is superb. If you load an entire album onto the turntable you will see a full 12" album, if you load a single onto the turntable a 7" album is displayed. Lift the needle during the middle of a track and hear the scratching noises, place it in the middle of a track and hear the pops like you would on a real turntable.
