Enjoy music another way with the BeatBlaster. Remember those old Hi-Fi Sound System?
With BeatBlaster we were able to reproduce a complete Sound System with :

• the PLAYER
It is the brain of the app, from where you can control everything. Switch from iPod to radio mode, adapt the volume, seek, enjoy the equalizer, follow the lyrics and get information about the artist.
* Lyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind (www.lyricfind.com)

• the TURNTABLE
For those of you who loved to watch your vinyls spinning on your turntable, we reproduced with fidelity this old school way to enjoy music.

• the SPEAKER
That's where the sound comes from. We managed to make it move in sync with your iPod and web radio sound.

• the LIBRARY
Where you will find your CD collection (Music synced with iTunes) and a variety of high quality web radios.

• and the REMOTE
Put your iPad on a docking station, launch the BeatBlaster and sit back on your couch. From there, use the "BeatBlaster Remote" to play music, go to the previous or the next song, change from radio to iPod mode or adapt the volume. "BeatBlaster Remote" is available for free on the App Store for your iPhone or your iPod Touch.
* The Remote uses a Bluetooth connection to control BeatBlaster on your iPad.

What BeatBlaster can't do :
• For the moment, BeatBlaster do not have access to iTunes Match (iCloud) library.
• The app can't access iTunes shared libraries or other. Only tracks synchronized with your iPad will be accessed by the BeatBlaster
• The BeatBlaster doe not improve the quality of the music in anyway. It does not process the sound by adjusting the balance between frequency components within the electronic signal. It is a graphical representation of the track's volume that is intended to give the user the feeling of a real old school hi-fi sound system.
