> When my phone plays certain tracks it makes and explosion of noise when switching songs. [...] Apparently this service has some sort of bug.
Using Chrome on Android and also on my computer, the switchover between music tracks does not seem to appear with my Simple Music Player, called JUkebox with Php and Html5, short JUPH: https://github.com/quimoniz/juph
I tried to make it dead simple, using the HTML5 Audio element.
Now it's been lying around for 4 years... does anyone else know of a similarly non-sophisticated audio player?
I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different ecosystem so that I can use different software that does the same thing isn't a good tradeoff for me. It sounds like that's not the case for you - glad you've found an ecosystem that works for you.
There are a couple of things you might want to be aware of though:
* AltStore exists and works pretty well: https://altstore.io
* iOS 17.2 allows users in some locales to side load apps: https://medium.com/@rmndrathna4/ios-17-2-sideload-apps-what-... . This was sparked by the Digital Markets Act, which could also force Apple to allow alternate browser engines. It went into effect May 2023, but I'm not a lawyer and idk how this will actually affect the Apple ecosystem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act
