01 / OverviewA custom
A custom
music
experience
Spotify Clone is a browser-based music player built from scratch around a familiar streaming experience.
The application brings together a music library, discovery categories and persistent playback controls in one interface.
The goal was to keep the experience simple while still making the player feel like a complete music application.

The problem
The goal was not just to recreate the appearance of a music platform. The challenge was creating a complete listening flow around the music that was actually available.
02↗
DYNAMIC LIBRARY
The library needed to display available MP3 files dynamically instead of depending on a fixed set of tracks.
03↗
PLAYBACK CONTROL
Core controls such as play, pause, previous, next, seeking, volume and five-second skipping needed to work together naturally.
04↗
SIMPLE EXPERIENCE
The interface had to feel familiar and functional while keeping the number of visual elements under control.

How it
works
YOUR LIBRARY
The left sidebar keeps available tracks visible and gives users a quick way to start playing a song.
DISCOVERY
The main area highlights music categories such as Chill & Soul and NCS to make the application feel more like a real streaming platform.
NOW PLAYING
The bottom player remains visible with track information, progress, playback controls and volume.

library
Instead of designing the case study around imaginary songs or screenshots, the project is presented around the actual MP3 library visible inside the application.

Design
meets
code
This project was both a UI/UX and frontend development exercise. The interface and the interaction system were developed together.
The player handles track selection, playback, previous and next navigation, seeking, volume and quick five-second controls.
The result is a lightweight browser music application that connects a custom interface with real audio behaviour.

12 / ReflectionWhat this
What this
project taught me
A music interface is not only about making the UI look familiar. Discovery, selection and playback need to feel like one connected system.
Working with dynamic music content showed me how interface components need to respond to changing data instead of relying completely on static layouts.
Building the player helped me connect visual design decisions with real JavaScript behaviour and browser audio functionality.
