I don't have Apple Music, but my wife does. If she, hypothetically, logged in on my Android phone, could I use her library?

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.

This is awesome! My only request is to polish it just a bit more when you add it to the home screen. I’d love for this to feel like a native app.

Nominally:

- The default title when adding to the Home Screen is “React App”.

- The icon could be better by choosing something in 1:1 aspect ratio. Maybe just the click wheel?

- When opened from the home screen it correctly loads without displaying the browsers nav bar, but the dimensions are slightly skewed so it doesn’t fill the screen.

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 :)
