Building a real Apple Music player with MusicKit isn't straightforward. Navigate the complexities of subscription checks, playback state management, and common gotchas to create a robust music player experience.

Today's ClickWheel update: Themes! 🎨🧑‍🎨

A smaller but fun update, didn't have much time today, but wanted to tackle something off the todo list.

Also added a small tutorial to the settings menu, in the future this will also be featured when first opening the app.

Two ClickWheel improvements to close the day! 🕺

The first one is a big one, Shuffle!

The "Shuffle Songs" shuffles your entire library and plays it nonstop. I love it cause it has me listening to some stuff I hadn't heard in ages! (My Apple Music Library is HUGE)

1/2 🧵

Thought I'd share some improvements I have planned for ClickWheel before the first release, can't wait for you all to use it 😄

Today's update for ClickWheel: Better scrolling 🕺
Here's a small showcase of the smoother scrolling using the click wheel, just like tho good old times!

Last ClickWheel snippet for today: An early menu system, once again, resembling to my best ability the navigation you'd expect from an iPod 🕺

Disappointing that #MusicKit doesn't yet allow adding something to your library on a Mac – just on iOS. Would make a nice addition to Longplay's automation and MCP server.
