POCKETDECK

PocketDeck Tape Player

Your music on a 1988 portable cassette deck.


Getting started

Press ▲ OPEN, type your first name, and pick where your music lives: Apple Music, Plex or Jellyfin. Your albums appear as a shelf of tapes. Tap one to load it, then press PLAY.

Common questions

Apple Music songs won't play. Songs you haven't downloaded need an active Apple Music subscription. Check that PocketDeck has access under Settings → Apps → PocketDeck.

PocketDeck can't find my Plex or Jellyfin server. Allow Local Network access under Settings → Apps → PocketDeck, and make sure your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi as the server. For Jellyfin, use the address you'd open it at in a browser, like 192.168.1.20:8096.

What's auto-reverse? Each album is split across Side A and Side B, like a dub onto a C90. At the end of Side A the deck clunks, the reels change direction and the ◀ light comes on.

How do I play to a speaker? Tap the PHONES jack to choose an AirPlay or Bluetooth speaker.

Can I turn off the tape hiss? Yes: on the tape shelf, tap ⋯ and switch off Tape hiss.
