Apple resurrects its iPod ‘Music Test’ video game for iOS 14

This just works with the built-in Music app. Sorry, Spotify fans. It does work with Apple Music, iTunes purchases and even locally synced tunes from other sources. And given that it’s a Shortcut rather than an app, you can easily poke around to either get motivation for your own mini-games or customize Music Test to match your tastes.

This is clearly a promotion tool for Faster ways to motivate usage. At the same time, it’s hard to reject the retro appeal if you matured utilizing Apple’s music gamers. When Apple dropped timeless iPods, it also ditched a variety of video games that some users understood extremely well. While we wouldn’t call this a full-on revival, it does provide you an opportunity to relive the iPod’s glory days.
