I’d like to have an infinite looping text marquee on my portfolio that shows what music I’m currently listening to. A good example of what I’m talking about is like how people would have what song they’re listening to on their old MySpace pages. It doesn’t need to play the song though, I just want someone accessing my website to be able to see it!

Something like this but for music: [https://www.jwang.work/](https://www.jwang.work/)

I wanted to know if there was some custom code or something I could use to link that text to my Spotify listening history or something like that, so it changes whenever I listen to a different song? Sort of like how the app AirBuds tracks your listening history to share with your friends. Is that possible?

I am interested in this feature, have you implemented it yet?
