Tldr; optimized for my specific search intensive and jumpy "music listening flow" using keyboard and mouse on a desktop workstation behind a corpo wall.
There are a few reasons I couldn't live with that (I did samba over openvpn on my phone for quite a while, vlc as the player).
Primary reason is I want it to be https so I can listen to my music at work, on my workstation without needing to poke through their firewall.
Secondary reason is that I listen to music the entire day and want a very quick way to find what I want, browsing lists and picking files is not working for me, I got addicted to the "j" key in winamp many years ago and this is kind of that idea distilled and redined a bit.
I made this after seeing another player here on HN called mstream, I used it for a while but the UI managed to both do too much and not entirely what I wanted.
- spicybright 5y agoHaving a a temporary music queue you add to and shuffle around while it's playing is sadly under rated in most music players. That's how I listen to music too. Nice work!
