I like this. I was surprised to see that it is html divs when I opened the inspector. Did you make the styling yourself?

I'd like if the text on the recently played list were selectable for easier copying.

Thank you! Yes, I wrote the entire CSS myself without using any frameworks or anything. And yes, noted, I'll make the text on the recently played list selectable.

It looks very much like https://plaza.one - any relationship? just a similar entry in the vaporwave category, or is one an inspiration for the other? PS: I like it!

I don't understand why you call it "vaporware".

It's vapor_wave_, a musical and visual style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporwave

Oops. Thanks for the info.

I misread the title and it didn't make any sense, specially because I tried the radio and it worked.

That would have confused me too tbh. The wiki page says "Not to be confused with Vaporware." right at the top, so you're definitely not the only one.

I really like this, though it seems like the songs often end abruptly.

The songs are like that, I didn't make any of the music myself.
