Apple Music Gets Another Unofficial Web Player With Launch of 'Musish'

Might be a good idea but I'm not sure I would trust my Apple ID to third party software.

 

So I’m going to enter my iTunes Apple ID and password on a third party website so I can listen to my music? NOT!

 

Does it work with the Tesla Model 3 browser?

 

They use Apples native API for authentification, so they actually never get to see your credentials as far as I understood.

 

Look up how this works. I'm very cautious and I see zero issue with this.

 

iTunes is such a horrible user experience. Not sure if much has changed since i abandoned it many years ago, but its going to take more than a free U2 album I dont want to even get me to look at it again.

 

If Apple is serious about services they should already have this.

Any "Services" offer has to be system agnostic.

 

One would certainly hope so, but I think people are right to be cautious about this.

 

If you ever wanted to have more than ONE TAB open at Apple Music...Musish can do it.

 

"we found that it drained our battery life".

too bad you can't you know.. charge and listen at the same time... with another plug on the bottom, made for listening to music...

 

It's not third party since it uses Apple's own website to login.

 

Musish handles authentication directly in the browser using official Apple APIs. When a user clicks login on Musish a new browser window opens up under the Apple.com domain, once verified Apple sends the Musish web app a token which is then sent back directly to Apple in subsequent requests. This token only works for the scope of Apple Music, has a short expiration, and never leaves your web browser to anywhere other than an Apple server. Musish never log, request, or even receive this token outside of the user’s browser window.

 

And you enter your credential with the keyboard....
Keylogger is what Hackers use then.....
At least those "music lovers" might have integrated that.

"Musish never log, request, or even receive this token outside of the user’s browser window."
Never know.

A keylogger can be installed on your computer any number of ways. Anyone with access to your computer could install it; keyloggers could come as a component part of a virus or from any application installation, despite how deceptively innocent it may look. This is part of the reason why you should always be sure you’re downloading files from a trusted resource.

Another method would be to program specific screenshots. Whoever loads this software is to blame.

On the other hand, there will be enough such people who always speak derogatorily about iTunes, and don't understand that it is a brilliant and runtime-optimized data management program, which is perhaps a bit overloaded, but generally brilliant.
I say this, even though I was sometimes very angry about some changes.

 

I already like this better than Play Apple Music.

 

They can't integrate that in Apple's own website used to enter your credentials. It's like purchasing something online and click the Pay Now button in which you get redirected to enter your card credentials, or even better the "Pay by PayPal" button.

 

Tried it but I don't know the bitrate. Play Apple Music lets you choose 256kbps LC-AAC which sounds great. However this web player gives you no option so too me it sounds more like a tin can most likely 64kbps HE-AAC akin like the horrible Youtube music.

 

Yes, but the password isn't actually entered in a site running Musish's code, so I don't know what you're getting at.

 

Everyone worried about Musish stealing your Apple ID, you do realize this is an open source project right? Meaning that hundreds if not throussauds of people can look at and inspect the code. If there was ever any risk of shady behavior someone would find it and start making a fuss about it. That’s the wonders of having open source software. There is never a piece of code that is hidden from the public.

 

I'm counting down the days until Apple shuts this down.

 

It should be playing in 256kbps, if it’s not then try refreshing. It should only reduce on low bandwidth.

We plan on adding a toggle switch for bitrate this week.

 

it's been done before (not with apple yet, but never say never).

there have been several known attacks where a page has a payment/login link that is hijacked. the target looks and acts correctly, and even works, but the form records the data.

Newegg in 2018 got nailed with one, where you got to the proper payment processor page, but the frame forwarding was logging payment information to a 3rd party. Newegg didn't isntall this, but was the function of a nefarius hacked 3rd party.

online, the more hoops, links, and forwards you have to go through, the more liklihood of security issues occur. IMHO, if you are not directly on Apple's own site, I wouldn't be putting my iTunes credentials in at all.

 

Thank and recently played never shows just shows a loading bar.

 

If you have a keylogger on your computer you have bigger issues. If this uses the Apple's federated API then it should be fine.
