 If the streaming url is audio formatted (ending in .mp3 or .wav) then apple’s AVFoundation library can easily play it but if the link is improper, it is very hard to parse the audio content

 Usually platforms don’t make this easy to access because they need play attribution for paying artists. This is why it would have to be clip based like how instagram does it. I’m not sure what music catalog they are tapping into. Maybe custom deal with spotify?
