Yep, you guessed it. Apple does not have a Windows-10-optimized app for Apple Music. (Apple offers iTunes for Windows, although it's not fully optimized for Windows 10.)
So this week, I've designed an Apple Music app for Windows 10. I wish I had more time to create animation demos, but this was the furthest I could go within the limited time frame.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, and see you again in a week.
Home. My Music.
It's pretty straightforward here. All your playlists and personal curation happen right on the home screen. But I've added a few new minor features as well. Siri-integrated playlist suggestions, radio station bookmarking, and the ability to follow others' playlists.
Play a song. Colour shifts. It's a chameleon.
The interface colour refreshes based on the primary colour of the album artwork. You'll never get tired of the colours.
Music Matchmaking
Yep, it's like Tinder for music. The trick is that it progressively learns the user's music taste with each decision.
Discover
It's the browse ('New') screen they already have on Apple Music. It's just re-skinned based on the general UI design style.
Turntable Playback Screen
Users are taken to this playback screen when they tap the black thingy (it's an LP record rotating) on the left-hand side. It's a complete turntable figure.
It's a Turntable.
The edge of the turntable screen is pitch black, so any black bezel around it makes the turntable screen look seamless.
It all started like this
Since I didn't get the chance, I thought I would share the quick sketch I did for this weekly project. Yep, it all started like this. Pretty rough, but it gave me enough direction to move forward ;)
