Redbook Player

Redbook is the first bit-perfect audio CD player for Android.

Connect any USB CD or DVD drive to your Android device, insert an audio CD, and experience pure uncompressed audio — exactly as the mastering engineer intended.

■ HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect a USB CD/DVD drive via USB-C or OTG adapter

2. Insert an audio CD

3. Redbook reads the disc, identifies the album, and fetches album name, track information and cover art

4. Press play — bit-perfect PCM audio streams directly from the disc

■ AUDIO QUALITY

• Pure PCM: 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, 1,411 kbps — the Red Book standard

• Bit-perfect playback: no DSP, no resampling, no compression

• Gapless playback across track boundaries

• Direct from disc to your ears — the way music was meant to be heard

■ CAST TO CHROMECAST

• Stream bit-perfect 16-bit/44.1 kHz audio to any Chromecast device on your network

• No re-encoding, no Bluetooth compression — pure PCM from disc to your speakers

• Supports Chromecast Audio, Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and any Cast-enabled speaker or AVR

■ RIP TO LOSSLESS FLAC

• Rip your CDs to FLAC files directly on your Android device — no PC needed

• MusicBrainz tags (title, artist, album, track number) and cover art embedded automatically

• Files saved to Music/Redbook/Artist/Album for easy browsing

• Ripping continues in the background with a progress notification — lock the screen or switch apps while your collection is archived

■ BACKGROUND PLAYBACK

• Music keeps playing when you lock the screen or switch to another app

• Full transport controls (play, pause, skip, previous) in the notification shade and on the lock screen

• Album art and track info shown in the media notification

■ FEATURES

• Automatic album, artist, and track identification

• Cover art fetched automatically

• Disc swap detection — eject and insert another disc without restarting

• Works with any standard USB CD/DVD drive (SCSI/MMC)

• Apple SuperDrive supported with automatic initialization

• Metadata and cover art cached locally for instant loading

• Monochrome audiophile interface designed to disappear

■ COMPATIBLE DEVICES

Works with any Android device that supports USB Host (OTG):

• Audiophile streamers: FiiO R7, FiiO R9, Shanling, HiBy, iBasso

• Phones: Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more

• Any Android device with USB-C and OTG support

■ COMPATIBLE DRIVES

• Any standard USB CD or DVD drive

• Both tray-loading and slot-loading drives

Note: some Android devices may not supply enough bus power for a USB CD drive. If the drive doesn't spin up, use a powered USB hub or USB-C OTG splitter with PD pass-through.
