The small print

Credits & notices

Familiar notes. A little fine print.

The Collection is an independent, unofficial interface study by Atlas Reid, made in a browser. It is not Apple software, a virtual machine or a connection to a real Music library, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc.

Original material

The Collection’s original site code, procedural models and original project assets are © 2026 Atlas Reid. This notice covers the original material, including its own icons and archived demo artwork; third-party software, music, artwork and marks retain their separate rights.

No open-source licence has been selected for the application or its original assets. Making its source available on GitHub does not itself apply an open-source licence. See GitHub’s repository licensing guidance.

Interface references

The menus and hardware study take visual inspiration from familiar Apple products. Apple, the Apple logo, Mac, macOS, MacBook Air, Apple Music, iTunes and SuperDrive are trademarks of Apple Inc. These credits do not imply an Apple licence or endorsement. Apple’s trademark and copyright guidelines describe Apple’s guidance for third parties.

Music & album artwork

The virtual collection uses public catalogue metadata and official provider artwork for these nine releases. Music, album artwork and related rights remain with their respective rights holders. The disc labels are illustrations using the covers, rather than scans of physical CDs.

The Scottish Bagpipe collection keeps the full 35-track Apple Music catalogue. Some tracks link to same-performer recordings on SoundCloud from another release; these are identified as partial playback matches. The full album is linked on Apple Music. The five same-performer SoundCloud selections come from The Best of Military Bands: The King’s Own Scottish Borderers Military Band; matching titles and near-identical durations do not confirm identical mastering. The recording notice is ℗ 2009 Warner Music Group – X5 Music Group; artwork rights remain with their respective owners.

Playback providers

Playback uses SoundCloud’s official widget and Widget API, or Bandcamp’s official embedded player, after the connection notice. Provider branding and source links stay in the players. Playback availability and access conditions depend on the provider and browser. No audio files or stream URLs are bundled with this repository; the virtual Import CD flow saves catalogue entries, not music files.

Bandcamp’s own controls operate its player; Music does not receive its live playback state. The separate desktop-preview connection test uses Flickermood by Forss, the SoundCloud documentation example, with this project’s original disc icon.
