       | Next week, I plan to spend a few months to write a visual music
       | app for iOS. Would be so much easier to layer on top of Apple's
       | MusicKit versus the Spotify API.

       | Back in 2018, Apple's AppStore shenanigans [1] had nudged me
       | towards Spotify. But, fading memory had me leaning towards
       | MusicKit. Not anymore! Thanks for the reminder.
