Apple Music 404 Not Found

I love Easter eggs like those.

Clicking sound unlocked some memories.

Roc the Mic. Beanie Sigel and Freeway. Haven't heard that song in a loooong time. Ipod seems pretty cool. I never owned one, kind of want to get a modded one or a newer knock off

Heavy dose of nostalgia. That clicking sound is so satisfying.

It's really cute. I wonder if we'll see a significant market for plain MP3 players with the whole digital detox fad lining up with the nostalgia. There's already a lot of people buying refurb and bluetooth-modded modded ipod classics.

Interesting that "Do You Realize??" by The Flaming Lips is listed twice under Songs, but its actually two sequential 90 second clips.

Really is heartbreaking that the click wheel is such an incredible and satisfying user interface but technology has evolved such that we have no need for it anymore.

Nice to see they've replicated the slight lighting uneveness near the sides when you turn the backlight on!

Very disappointing that the Music app on iOS doesn’t render the page. Would have been super cool to scroll in the app with some haptic feedback along with the click sound. I can understand why it won’t be there as you can’t directly navigate to a pre-determined page, but instead they force you to portal through their search button. Even still, I’m a little sad knowing what could have been! :(

Sad that the only song by Metallica that made it in is I disappear :/

I wonder how they picked the setlist. Feels retro, but still a ~decade newer than when this was state of the art. Some reasonably obscure artists. Thrice and Thursday released a split EP recorded in the Apple stores: I see Thursday but not Thrice here. Thrice still makes music. Thursday has been quiet for more than a decade.

Hilariously, I can't load this in Safari, because it auto-redirects to the Apple Music app for that link, with no way to prevent it. Pretty cool in other browsers, though.

What surprises me the most is that they play the explicit versions of the songs.

The ordering of the artists is interesting. Unlike most systems, 2Pac and 50 Cent are sorted right at the end. 50 Cent actually comes after 8Ball & MJG so it's a bit like `sort -n` but with numbers to the end. Is this an Apple thing?
