✅ JavaScript Responsive Handling

Dual Player Elements

The JavaScript now handles both mobile and desktop player elements:

// Cache both elements
DOM.playerTitle = document.getElementById('player-title');           // Mobile
DOM.playerTitleDesktop = document.getElementById('player-title-desktop'); // Desktop

// Update both simultaneously
function updateTrackInfo(track) {
    // Mobile
    if (DOM.playerTitle) DOM.playerTitle.textContent = track.title;

    // Desktop
    if (DOM.playerTitleDesktop) DOM.playerTitleDesktop.textContent = track.title;
}

// Update both play buttons
function updatePlayButton(isPlaying) {
    // Desktop button
    const icon = DOM.playBtn?.querySelector('i');

    // Mobile button
    const mobileIcon = DOM.mobilePlayBtn?.querySelector('i');

    // Update both
}

Event Listeners

Both mobile and desktop controls trigger the same functions:

// Desktop play button
DOM.playBtn?.addEventListener('click', togglePlayPause);

// Mobile play button
DOM.mobilePlayBtn?.addEventListener('click', togglePlayPause);

// Both work seamlessly!

---

✅ Responsive Images

Cover Images

Mobile Player:

<img class="w-10 h-10">

Desktop Player:

<img class="w-10 h-10 lg:w-14 lg:h-14">
