Web Player for Apple Music (using MusicKit JS)

I just get "Loading..."

No JS errors, no Ajax requests, disabled adblocker, tried both Safari & Chrome, tried Mobile Safari.

Someone on Reddit is also experiencing the same issue. I haven't had a chance to look into it more. It's likely that MusicKit JS isn't initializing for an unknown reason (my app initializes after MusicKit JS).

For some reason the HTTP request for music.js returns no content. I tried with curl and got the same response, so it doesn't seem to be browser related.

The curl request does work when I do it on my VPS, so I'm guessing it's something to do with Apple's CDN.

This is really well-done. Handy for someone whose phone lacks a headphone jack, but whose laptop has one. :)

Finally! Love new experience... literally anything would be better than iTunes (Windows)

I hope it gains Beats One support. It was a long time since I listened because I can’t stomach running a 200+ MB app to stream some AAC file, but I do recall I liked that radio station most at the time of announcement of Apple Music.

Sorry to be skeptical here but I'm flagging the post. This is literally a random anonymous site asking for my iTunes login.

Did you miss popup window which connected to Apple with green status bar?

I didn't miss anything, it just feels like a phishing attempt. No offense if it's not but perhaps you should just put the source upfront rather than hosting a service. People have their whole lives connected to iTunes accounts.

I didn't share it here, but it's my application. The source code is available at https://github.com/zachomedia/apple-music-webplayer

It's a fair point though. Apple ( and Amazon, Facebook etc ) should really provide a way to manage sub-accounts with limited capabilities.

They are. And you see which capabilites are provided to the requster application on that account page
