oTunes has been rebranded to Loquat

The oTunes Mockup Tracklist Table Widget has been re-branded; to the Loquat Music Tracklist Table Widget. In addition to a new name, it has a new scheme!

Its former "oTunes" self sought to create song playlists for web pages decorated to look like iTunes 7. It has been re-skinned, to resemble the version of Apple Music that shipped with macOS 12 Monterey.

This update was made possible via screenshots of Apple Music running in Monterey, which has finally been made possible courtesy of Dozerfleet Labs acquiring a working copy of VirtualBox. Running this effectively required an upgrade to 16 MB of RAM, which is also intended to be used to speed along the final comics of Dozerfleet Comics in production, as well as produce Linux content and re-make the Shrimp on a Treadmill Calculator for numerous operating systems.

If you'd like to perform similar experiments, and are running Windows 10 or 11 as your host OS, you can start by downloading VirtualBox from here. Mac users should be able to handle this operation effortlessly, so long as they can take screenshots in Monterey and work on them inside of either Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Gimp, or Krita. Linux users, similarly to Windows users, will want to have VirtualBox installed to run Monterey as a guest OS. Native Mac users can use VirtualBox, if they wish, to run guest OS versions of almost any version of Windows, as well as most Linux distros.
