Transpose Player

Open Player, play files and open songs from Library.

Transpose Player is a playback page for music and video. Open an online song or your own mp3, audio or video file. Use the Transpose window or side panel to adjust pitch and speed and practice with loops.

Open Player

Play the song and open Transpose. Click the Player icon beside the song title in the songbar. Player opens with that song. This button is available in both the Transpose window and Side.

MP3 in Transpose Player
Your own file in Transpose Player.

Continue later

Open the existing song from Recent or Saved so Player can try to open the same file again. If the browser asks for permission, grant it again.

Cannot find the file? Select the original file again. Not every browser can automatically reopen a chosen file after restarting.

Avoid choosing the same file as a new song each time you want to continue earlier practice work. Transpose may treat it as a different song.

On another computer

A saved or shared Player link does not contain your file. Have a copy there and select it again. If it will not play, your browser may not support its format.
