[LB-2] Spotify + Apple Music Song Streaming
June 9th, 2020
Lyrical Banana now has music streaming implemented which grants the ability to play a song, pause, fastforward, etc.
With the song timeline implemented, I could now can pair an image to 0:00 - 0:20 for example. One step closer to making a music video.
I was surprised at how difficult it was to add
Spotify
music streaming compared to
Apple Music.
I had to write 3x the amount of code for
Spotify
and there were odd scenarios that needed to be dealt with. For instance
if a song was paused for 30s,
Spotify
is automatically disconnected (due to an Apple iOS limitation).
To deal with this, it displays an alert upon disconnection and then when the user presses resume it'll reconnect (quickly swaps to the
Spotify
app and then back).
Next up will be the bulk of the Lyrical Banana meme editing experience, selecting images and pairing them with lyrics!
