Free Mac app that plays Spotify, Apple Music and Now Playing as a record: the needle drops, the surface crackles, the music gets the warmth.

Parlour is a free record player for the music on your Mac. It takes the sound of Spotify, Apple Music or any app in Now Playing and plays it as a record: the needle drops into the lead-in, the surface crackles under the quiet parts, the arm lifts between songs. The noise, the thumps and the needle's landing were measured from transfers of real records, and Mint, Played and Thrashed each sound like what they are. It processes the music itself, and your music app keeps doing the playing.
Works with: Spotify, Apple Music, or any app in the Mac's Now Playing.
Requires: macOS 26.1 or later, a Mac with Apple silicon.
Free: no account, no ads, no analytics, nothing recorded or uploaded. Notarized by Apple.
