Sometimes on the train, you suddenly want to listen to that album. Before bed, something to end the day.

In such times, opening a browser, typing a URL, searching for bookmarks—by then, the feeling has cooled down. With Album Sweet on your home screen, it's just one tap. Just like an app, simply tap the icon and you're instantly in the world of music. When you have a little time and want to spend it gazing at album covers with Drift (screensaver), that also starts with just 2 taps from the home screen.

Those Sudden Moments of Wanting to Listen

Sometimes on the train, you suddenly want to listen to that album.

With Album Sweet on your home screen, it's just one tap. Just like an app, simply tap the icon and you're instantly in the world of music.

When you have a little time and want to spend it gazing at album covers with Drift (screensaver), that also starts with just 2 taps from the home screen. Tap the icon, select Drift. That's all it takes for jacket art to begin quietly drifting.

Full-Screen Immersion

Album Sweet launched from the home screen is different from a regular browser.

No address bar. No navigation buttons. Album Sweet fills the entire screen. Just like a dedicated app.

This difference is bigger than you might think.

You can immerse yourself in album artwork without being distracted by URL bars. When going full-screen with Drift, nothing unnecessary enters your field of vision. You can focus solely on experiencing the fascination and beauty of albums.

No need to download from an app store. Uses almost no storage. Updates automatically to the latest version. No hassles whatsoever. Just place an icon on your home screen.

The process is very simple. Please follow the steps below according to your smartphone.

Spent my twenties haunting used record stores, tracing musicians' roots through LP back cover credits. While continuing band activities, I've moved back and forth between the worlds of music and web. Album Sweet was born to realize the experience of "savoring entire albums" once again in digital form. In the sister service membo.info, I write about band member recruitment as a "persistently hopeful band dad."
