Great work. It'd be cooler if we could add more than one song to the playlist at a time.

Also, a way to share/save playlists would be amazing!

working on the sharing and saving part, currently focused on a dev tool of mine.
Good luck!
Love the minimalism! I'm curious, how do you stream the audio?

At first I thought, maybe you embed the youtube iframe and hide it but that's not how it works. I noticed the orion server in the source, and the link downloads the video, which suggests you redirect the video stream via a middle server?

Yeah, there’s a simple server that pipes a play stream to the response which is attached to the audio tag
