A music web app that aggregates music from multiple sources into a bespoke interface.
Works on PS4! 
This project was originally a university project, It is a Backbone application supported by an API, which is a Rails data-only app. It fetches music from YouTube, Soundcloud and ExFM.
The app was abandonded after being graded for the project. Recently, decided to use it, and was suprised at how well it stood the test of time (its about 2 years old)..
