Hey all, gathering some thoughts here. I’ve been using iTunes to purchase my music and port it to the Kompakt since I got the phone and it’s worked really well so far. BUT, I’m a really big music guy and I change my playlists weekly, if not daily, with my moods. I’d love the ability to more easily add music to my catalog.
So, I’ve been doing some digging and found that Spotify’s implementation is just not reliable enough for a production app and most Mudita users (rightfully so) do not want to use anything Google. So, with that said, how do most users feel about integrating with Apple?
I understand this would not be as mainstream of a solution as my CalmCast app because that requires no authorization with Apple but this one will. You’ll need an active Apple Music subscription and will need to authorize with Apple to access it via the app.
What the app would solve and what it will not: Being minimal, imo, should not require us to live without some of our wants. It should be thoughtful and workable without being intrusive. That means, you can search and add music via the Apple Music catalog. You will not see algorithms, suggestions, comments, or any other gamification.
I think there was a time when music was really fun and accessible without being intrusive and gimmicky. I’d love to help us find that balance again.
Before I commit to the $99 Apple developer charge, I’d love some thoughts and feedback from the community on this.
