The Apple Pippin platform was named for the Newtown Pippin, an apple cultivar, a smaller and more tart relative of the McIntosh apple (which is the namesake of the Macintosh). Katz Media developed the KMP 2000, and focused it on vertical markets throughout Europe and Canada. developed the ATMARK and models, and focused them on the gaming and entertainment business in Japan, Canada and the United States. Apple licensed the Pippin technology to third-party companies. Apple built a demonstration device based on Pippin called 'Pippin Power Player,' and used it to demonstrate the platform at trade shows and to the media, in order to attract potential software developers and hardware manufacturers. Pippin is based on the Apple Macintosh platform, including the classic Mac OS architecture. According to Apple, Pippin was directed at the home market as 'an integral part of the consumer audiovisual, stereo, and television environment.' The Apple Pippin is a defunct open multimedia technology platform, designed by Apple Computer, and marketed as PiPP!N. If these features were added, I would totally give this app 5 stars.Multimedia player platform for video game console, Internet appliance and interactive kiosk development Also, as another added feature, it would be cool if you could make the CD skip by shaking your iPhone, just like a real CD player would do. It would be wonderful to have this app make some characteristic sounds that everyone who has ever owned a CD player would be familiar with. It also makes this sound while changing tracks. Also, just before the CD starts playing, there’s this quiet but characteristic sound that the laser pickup makes as it moves into position. For instance, a tray loading CD player usually makes some kind of motor noise as it opens and closes while a top loading CD player will click when you open or close the lid.

Even the best, most expensive CD players make noises when a CD is loaded and played.

The only problem I have with this app is that it isn’t entirely realistic as a CD player simulator because it lacks sound effects. You can especially tell this because, like a CD player from the 80’s or 90’s, it actually has dedicated buttons for rewind and fast forward, separate from those used to change the tracks.

For those of us who grew up during the compact disc’s hay day, this is a fantastic app.
