The Idea

When Kanye West started promoting his Stem Player device and announced that his next album was going to be available only on that device, I became curious about how it worked, but not curious enough to order one for $200 USD. The features were simple enough that I figured that I could just program my own app version.

By the time I had the idea, somebody else had already made their own free web version (https://stemplayer.io, but I wasn't happy with it. The audio would glitch out about 30 seconds in, the design was subpar, the animations clunky, and lacking more than half of the features of the device.

Implementation
