How do I play audio in the background?

In the PLAInow iPhone app, archive.org audio keeps playing when you leave the app or lock the screen. The lock screen shows the title, and play, pause, and skip work from there. YouTube pauses when the app goes to the background, because that picture stays inside YouTube’s player. In a phone browser, sound usually stops when the screen locks. Use the app when you want archive audio to continue.

How do I use AirPlay?

Start an archive.org song or video, then tap AirPlay in the player and choose a speaker or Apple TV. For a YouTube video, tap Expand video and use the AirPlay control inside YouTube’s player. PLAInow does not pull a YouTube stream out of YouTube.

How do I use picture in picture?

While a video is open, tap PiP. On iPhone that uses the system picture-in-picture window when the device allows it. For a YouTube song in the mini player, tap Expand video to reveal the picture. PiP is the separate control labeled PiP.
