"Samsung Design's Visual Audio collection reinterprets music players by incorporating tailored displays that evoke the forms of LPs, cassettes, and CD players, making digital music visually present again."
"The appeal of analog formats was about having something to look at while the music played, providing a visual rhythm that streaming has rendered invisible."
"Visual Audio objects are designed to make playback legible, showcasing a reel turning or a record label spinning, rather than relying on a generic progress bar."
Samsung Design introduced Visual Audio at Milan Design Week 2026, a collection of music player concepts that revive the tactile experience of analog formats. These designs feature tailored displays that make digital music visually present, contrasting with the invisibility of streaming. The appeal of analog was not just sound quality but the visual rhythm of playback. Visual Audio enhances playback legibility, showcasing spinning reels and rotating labels, creating a connection to the physicality of music listening.
