Super quick but Fred Again put all of his USB-002 shows on YouTube as a 4 day video. Which is awesome, but I hate listening to music on YouTube because I cannot easily use Airplay to stream the music elsewhere as it requires YouTube be active to play. Which then inflates my screen-time, amongst other things!
So I made a quick web player to play this video as a playlist experience. You can save the webpage as a PWA and then audio may or may not play in the background, I have yet to explore this too much, but I have wanted to hack on a music player thing for ages so here goes!
To Install
- Open this URL in Safari on your iPhone
- Tap the Share button (square with arrow at the bottom)
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
- Tap Add
- Access the player from your Home Screen, get PWA benefits
Whats interesting (to me)
I hosted this on Cloudflare R2. Free bandwidth and hosting — particularly nice as this audio file is 6Gb (!)
This also compelled me to switch my site caching to Cloudflare.
