Bumps the size of most text and buttons across the whole app — useful if you're viewing this on a TV from across the room. It won't fix everything perfectly (a few elements are fixed-size), but it covers most of it.
Expert mode (release month)
Vinyl'le doesn't enforce rules for you — the DJ and players agree on what to use before starting. Here's the base game, plus a few optional variants.
Base rules
One player draws and plays a mystery clip. That player will then have to guess what year the song came out in, or around in, they'll have to place it into their own timeline in the spot they think is chronologically correct. Say the player has a 1974, 1984, and a 2012 card in their timeline, the player has to guess where in that timeline the song fits in, if the played song is from 1982, and the player guessed it was from between 1984 and 2012, they lose their round and cannot add the card to their timeline. The answer of the song is revealed after a guess has been locked in. First to the target number of cards (set in Settings) wins. Default & recommended is 10 cards.
Gold coin (bonus point)
If a player can also name the song's title and/or one of the artist(s) (if multiple) before it's revealed, they earn a gold coin. Tap the gold coin on their card to mark it as a bonus. What a bonus is actually worth (an extra card, a skip, a steal, nothing at all) is entirely up to your group — else it's merely a tiebreaker.
Scoring System
The first player to the agreed number of cards in their timeline (default 10) wins the game. In case of a tie on cards, the winner is decided by gold coins. If still tied, the winner is decided by whoever has the closest year-gaps (or if on expert mode, closest months-gap) in their timeline — so a 2012 and a 2013 beats a 2012 and a 2014, by the difference in years. If tied again, this continues until a winner is found, and in the rare case both players have identical years, the winner is decided by name in alphabetical order — tough luck, William and Whitney.
Gamemodes
Steal
Cards can be dragged from one player's timeline to another at any time. A common house rule: if a player guesses a year exactly right, they may steal any one card from an opponent's timeline instead of adding their own — yes, if the stolen card has a gold coin you steal that as well!
Hard mode
Instead of scoring on the standard "was it placed correctly" basis, require players to also guess a specific year out loud before revealing and be within an agreed span of years, e.g. 5 years — not only just the correct relative position.
Teams
Two or more players share one timeline slot on the scoreboard, against a team of equal size and/or skill, instead of playing individually — useful for uneven group sizes or mixed skill levels.
Every song revealed, most recent first — regardless of which player claimed it.

If you're enjoying Vinyl'le, there'll be a way to chip in here soon — this tab is just the placeholder for now, nothing's wired up yet.

Heads up: audio playback doesn't work reliably on iOS Safari (a platform limitation with how Spotify's embed handles logins, not something this app can fix). The scoreboard, settings, and everything else here still work fine on your phone — but for actually playing songs, use a laptop or desktop browser.
Vinyl'le
A music year-guessing party game. Load a whole Spotify playlist, spin the mystery record, guess the year.
01 — Load playlists
Spotify client IDRedirect URI — paste this exact value into your Spotify app settings
Copy this exact value into your Spotify app's Redirect URIs setting in the developer dashboard.
Create an app (any name). When it asks for a Redirect URI, paste the exact value shown above in this app.
When it asks "Which API/SDKs are you planning to use," check Web API.
Open the app → Settings → copy the Client ID into the box above.
Connect your Spotify account above — you'll get a popup from Spotify.com to approve.
This logs in as you, so the app can read playlists you own (including ones you just made). No client secret needed, and nothing is sent anywhere except Spotify directly.
Important: the connected account must actually own each playlist you use — a public playlist made by someone else won't work here, even if you can normally listen to it fine in Spotify.
Don't own the playlist you want? Copy it to your own account first: open the playlist in Spotify → tap the ••• (three dots) → Add to other playlist → + New playlist. Spotify creates a copy under your account — grab that new playlist's link instead and use it here.
Playlist links (one per line)
Add as many playlists as you like. When you draw a card, the app first picks a random playlist, then a random song from it — so a small playlist isn't drowned out by a huge one.

Debug / DJ controls
no track loaded
Live position from Spotify, for scouting exactly where a track's hook or chorus lands. Dragging the slider and hitting "Seek here" jumps playback there directly. "Vibe mode" stays on until you turn it off again — while it's on, the 30s countdown and auto-stop are disabled entirely, even across New point, Replay, or Seek here — handy if everyone's vibing to a song and you don't want it cut off.
03 — Tracklist
Shows every track's real title and artist for review — separate from actual game progress, so it doesn't mark anything as drawn.
