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.
I don't understand google's approach to youtube music. Maybe they secretly want it to fail.
I miss how smooth those gradients look

I never owned an ipod so I don't remember the UI at all, but from the now playing screen the only thing that looks like it has a gradient is the top bar[1], all of the menu selection indicators looks solid blue as well. Am I missing something? [1] https://i.imgur.com/y4s4o24.png

"just" haha
That "just" is doing a looot of work.

I would pay for the app just to get the haptic feedback!
iirc there was an iPod-style app on the Apple App Store for a bit around a year ago, but it was shortly after taken down. I don’t know if the developer came out with an official statement, but I imagine Apple had some copyright grievances. It did have haptic feedback on the wheel which was cool, although I think this web implementation actually does a better job of nailing the motion and feel of the click wheel itsel…
looks like you could maybe use the Vibrate API for some andriod browsers…

Right, wearing an Apple Watch + AirPods is the modern iPod experience to me. I can leave my house without a smartphone and take a stroll or bike ride or skateboard etc with music. The Apple Watch crown provides that tactile feel missing from smartphones. I like how easy it is to turn up the volume by quickly rotating the crown up or down.
Do you have to have the watch with LTE, or does it actually cache music locally?

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.

1) the Watch works great for every single one of my smartphone needs, but you are required to pair it with an iPhone that has a phone plan…even if you keep the iPhone turned off 95% of the time.
2) the AirPods fall out of my head when I smile. I’ve tried the different sizings. For such an expensive gadget, I expect to be able to make them stay in my head without fear of losing them simply because I’m having a nice time.
3) people sometimes report that they can’t hear me very well through the AirPods even if I’m sitting still in a quiet room with no obstructions. This happens regardless of whether the pods are tethered to the Watch, computer, or iPhone.
