This is really cool. It’s amazing how “realistic” the clickwheel feels—it instantly transported me back to actually using an iPod. Also, there’s something poetic about emulating the clickwheel on the interface that replaced it :)
Is the click wheel "feel" experience only on iOS? I don't get any haptic feedback on Android

I don't feel the click haptic feedback on iOS with iPhone 12
No, no haptic feedback for me either. It would be interesting to try, but honestly it might make it feel more gimmicky if not done perfectly.

I don’t see why not. There’s an official web version at music.apple.com. They probably prevent multiple simultaneous streams on the same account at the same time though.
I found out it actually allows me to play on the same account on two separate devices. The official apple music apps reliably stop my attempts to abuse my one person membership. Maybe this means that authorised applications aren't checked as thoroughly for this.
Where’s the back button? - took me half a second to dust off memories. Also it’s uncannily snappy compared to how I remember it!

I still have my original iPods. The original and the mini chromatic ones. When I'm on the go and or in a gym and I need to play music, nothing beats a simple mp3 player. Don't want the bulk of the phone. Don't want to have to touch a phone screen and engage with it. I'd rather just reach into my pocket and press buttons.
I think smartwatches fill that niche now - at least those models with physical buttons. I'm actually impressed by how ergonomic the music listening experience on my Garmin is.
How do you even get the _feel_ of the device so right? I'm perplexed, such a great project. I started using it unironically to play music, I'd totally pay for a Mac/iOS app haha.
Simpler than one might think - once you do the math to project each touch/mouse event down to an angle, you just need to quantize the angle to a certain number of discrete options (which you can measure on an actual device), look at the event stream of such angle events pairwise, and take the sign of the pairwise difference as right/left or up/down! The much harder part when designing the iPods themselves was to buil…
Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but how can one be sure that this doesn't steal my credentials when logging in with spotify? It's open source, so I guess someone would probably have figured it out if it did by now, but is there a way to be sure or is it even possible?
The reason is because of a protocol called Oath2.
