Ah. Something new. Something beautiful. Attic, a brilliant music player, attempts to help you rediscover those albums that are collecting dust.
Launch the app, and it automatically loads up all those albums with low play-counts or haven’t been played for a long time, and gives you a shelf of 15 albums to listen to. David Ross, Tapku Software (in association with Taptivate) have done a fantastic job with the user interface. You physically drag the LP into the player, from where it takes a second or two to read. Everything from animation to sound effects is top notch. Moreover, the media control buttons at the bottom feel like the real thing.
The usage scenarios for this app might be small, but its beauty and elegance will definitely win you over. And just $0.99 at that.

TEH SEX!
This would indeed be a brilliant App, if it worked with your Mac based iTunes Library as opposed the much more limited selection you are likely to have on your iPhone.
The UI is not amazing, it’s terrible. If you have dragging and scrolling at the same time, the app won’t know which you intend to do. It was completely opaque to me where I had to drag the albums to, until I realized that the black horizontal line represented a slot loader. The value of the app would be data mining your music collection, but it doesn’t give you any information, not even which songs are on your playlist, and you can’t modify its selection of albums. And it hides the settings from the app, polluting the general settings instead.
Why not just create an auto-updating smart playlist in iTunes based on “Last Played”? I have 2 such playlists – one for music I haven’t listened to in 3-12 months, and one for music I haven’t listened to in > 12 months.

Why not just go read the msn.com frontpage instead of beautifulpixels.com ?
