Hi thanks for the feedback ! This is a personal project that i made to learn about css (sass) and vue. This is just something i made for fun and is not meant to replace apple's official website in any way. And i also wanted lyrics and youtube video integration, and genius api also has a really cool feature where you can select a part of a lyrics and it gives you really detailed description about that part, so i wanted a player with that feature built in. I dont think apple would implement something like that for legal reasons (?)

Someone created something that they thought was cool, and wanted to share it with their online community.

That's awesome, and I'm glad they did! Why give them a hard time for that?

Who's life are you improving with that comment?

A random person's dismissive comment offering nothing besides negativity

Shallow and negative dismissal aside, if this project doesn’t randomly get stuck and force a refresh, that would be an improvement over beta.music.apple.com.

I regularly click on another song during a playlist only to have it just hang forever.

Well one thing it offers is that the layout isn't broken, like Apples site's seems to be in my browser. Also in terms of basic functionality, you can search for a song name and click the album title to go to the whole album, which seems to be not possible on Apple's site. So that's something.

I don't have Apple music, but the YouTube integration mentioned seems like something Apple wouldn't offer.
