This is the public-facing repository for my currently live music player that can be found at willwitherspoon.net/music
Meant to be a page in the replacement for my art portfolio, this fully interactive music player was my first ever JavaScript project developed in the summer of 2022.
Built in vanilla JavaScript with Howl.js & a tiny amount of JQuery, this online music player pulls from an already existing MySQL database, builds playlists/albums based off of database information, and then displays them to the user in a format similar to Bandcamp or Spotify. Featuring all standard playback functions, a functioning volume and duration slider, a visualizer, song information and lyrics, and downloads for each song, this is meant to be a public repository for my music.
While the project in it's current state is fully functional, there are a few shortfalls under the hood that need to be addressed, including it's methods of altering the DOM, large memory footprint, and it's lack of code organization such as classes. Eventually I plan to create a Next.js/React.js version with a rewritten version of the player class.
