Minimal, small codebase that fits its needs
From 3 comments
Neat, always great when someone makes minimal software that fits their needs. Inspiring to see it done in a relatively small amount of code, too! Right now I rely on Google Music…
Glench on HNThis is pretty awesome actually. I've been using it for the past few hours and changing it at will: https://github.com/sirodoht/dstream Vanilla JS helps immensely to jump right…
sirodoht on HNHaving a a temporary music queue you add to and shuffle around while it's playing is sadly under rated in most music players. That's how I listen to music too. Nice work!

Objections
Playback state is not kept when leaving the page
From 2 comments
Does this maintain any state? Lets say I start playing an album, then leave the page. Does the music restart from the same track/time, when I return, or do I need to reselect the…

Mopidy or MPD
From 2 comments
I don't know, but you could use mopidy or mpd to accomplish this.
Phrodo_00 on HNI wish there was some sort of webrtc plugin for MPD, so I could stream my music collection at home from work.
