I'm very much appreciate taking this course and for take time to explain some important concept in android , server side : php and MySQL related to music app stream how ever little bit disappointed according to your course little you have more to be done even if not the same as Spotify music clone app as you title your course "Android App Development: Create a Spotify Clone" let some thing little similar. you really try to explain the basic concept . I recommend you create an other section for the actually implementation of Spotify clone app as you tittle the course. I will be more appreciate if you do so. thank you
