Show HN: QuickTunes: Apple Music player for Mac with iPod vibes

#1
The slow and bloated nature of the Mac Apple Music app inspired us to create QuickTunes. It is a simple, fast, and native Apple Music player inspired by the simplicity of the iPod. You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate a simple multi column layout, pick something, and press Play.

Another alternate client that’s great is LongPlay.

Instead of being a better UI like QuickTunes, LongPlay is specifically designed for one thing and one thing only: full album listening.

Things are presented as full albums, and they play as full albums. You can choose whether skipping skips a single track or an entire album.

Tracks in an album are always played in order.

The main picking interface? Just a grid of album covers, like that old screensaver Macs used to have.

It’s great.

just curious? Can we integrate Apple Music Subscription into LongPlay? Or This works only when you have your own collection of music that you own?

Modern player is not only about UIUX but also which music storage it supports, DLNA, Plex, Jellyfin, that’s the main feature users will be checking. If it’s just AppleMusic player.
