How does it all work?
  • First, sign in with your Apple Music account or choose guest mode.

  • Grab your Hitster card and scan it.

  • Your song should now (hopefully) start playing directly in the browser.

  • Take your guess and repeat for the next card!

  • The client has been tested on MacOS and iPhone, but should work on every platform.

The nerdy part:
  • Q: Why is this one card not working?
    A: Not all songs are available in every region on Apple Music, and song IDs differ by the region's catalog. The game first searches by ISRC and if that fails, it falls back to matching title + album. This usually works, but can be slower than you are used to with the original Spotify version.

  • Q: I want to know exactly why the card fails.
    A: In a desktop browser, open the console and type debug(). Then scan your card. This will show you debug information, including the song name etc.

  • Q: New cards just got released, can you add them?
    A: Possibly, e-mail me about it. Attach case of beer to your e-mail, and it may or may not speed things up.

  • Q: Can I get your song database?
    A: No. It’s the secret sauce. Everything else is handled client-side. Maybe i'll open source it someday.

  • Q: Does this game just open songs in my music app?
    A: No, songs play directly in the browser so the game stays in focus. Everything is done in browser.

  • Q: Something is all broken when I try to play!
    A: I don’t have every device ever made to test on. E-mail me what’s happening, maybe I can fix it.

  • Q: I use another music service, can you support that too?
    A: Probably not. I built this because Hitster was the one thing keeping me on Spotify. Took me a good weekend, and I don't really want to use spend more time on it than i have to.
