This is a good read, admittedly haven't finished it yet. I like reading about the more granular details developers decide on and why.

I will say that I sympathize with the idea that ... I don't like any audio players that I've tried, but in the world of music apps the layout of screens and UI seem almost universal across them and ... I just don't like them / don't "get it".

I feel like I'm boxing with every music app ever...

I appreciate anyone who takes a shot at making something new.
