diskOS Now Playing in the halo theme: Between Tides by Iona Relay inside the round seek ring

Side A The tracklist

Eight things you can do.

Each one made for the circle. Scroll, and the disc plays them in order.

  1. 01 Home in halo: the time, date and weather above the current song, with progress around the now-playing island

    Home

    The time, the date and your song, at a glance. In halo, the border around your song fills as it plays.

  2. 02 Library: Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres and Playlists

    Library

    A big library, one thumb. Run your finger around the rim to fly through a long list, or tap A-Z and land on the letter you want.

  3. 03 Cover Flow with After Hours Test by Caldera Lines in the centre

    Cover Flow

    Some albums you know by their cover before you know their name. Flip through the artwork, tap the one in the middle to open it, or hold it to play.

  4. 04 Search: the word Between finds Between Tides by Iona Relay

    Search

    Remember one word of the title? Search by song, artist or album from Home or Quick Settings, and play what you find.

  5. 05 Now Playing in halo: Between Tides by Iona Relay inside the round seek ring

    Now Playing

    Playback controls and your place in the song, together on the round screen. Play, pause, skip and seek without leaving the screen.

  6. 06 Timed lyrics with the current line lit

    Timed lyrics

    Sing along. Timed lyrics follow the song, and the line you are on lights up. Lyrics beside the song or inside it work offline; missing words can be looked up over Wi-Fi.

  7. 07 An audiobook playing, with buttons to skip back 15 seconds and forward 30

    Audiobooks

    .m4b audiobooks get their own home in Library > Books. Jump between chapters and pick up at your saved position.

  8. 08 Quick Settings with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, EQ, Search, Rescan and Source tiles

    Quick Settings

    Pull down from the top edge: brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and EQ, together in one place. Change what you need and get straight back to listening.

Also on the record: Last.fm scrobbling, playlists with M3U import and export, Up Next, Song Info, a sleep timer and signed app updates over Wi-Fi. diskOS changes what you see and touch; the sound still comes from the Disc's own stock audio engine.

Side B Eight themes

One circle.
Eight worlds.

Eight themes bring different fonts, colours and layouts across the interface, each in dark or light. Your music and settings work the same in all of them. On the Disc: Settings > Display > Theme.
