A downloadable GlassMusic for Windows
About the Developer
Hello, and welcome to GlassMusic! I'm Aditi Divakar, a newly starting developer in the realm of app development and software services. I want to build the next big project that solves a large communal goal, serves large, servicable impact and stands against the world of tech.
This is my first true, and fully functional app that I made using electron. At first, it was a project I wanted to start just to get the groove of things, and learn more about electron; however, the more I've gotten into it, a newfound passion has sprouted with it! Thank you, the user, for taking the time and consideration of looking through the app, and directly supporting my passion! I hope you can find use with GlassMusic!

What is GlassMusic?
GlassMusic is a minimalistic music player app that takes music files from a windows device and plays it through the player. It's a cute and functional way to listen to music without wifi or other music-related issues, and overall, acts like a free, all rounded app that lets you listen without interuptions! It comes with all the basic functions, like pausing and playing, next, previous and repeat buttons, plus a visual timer! It's simple, easy to use, and overall user-friendly; making music listening more about the music, and less about the distractions. This app is still with it's ups and downs, though it's not perfect, it still works!
*TIP! If you'd like the name of the song to be shortened on the app, make sure to keep the file name itself smaller, and it should fix the issue!
