Could you build this?

No This tool requires Windows system-level audio driver manipulation, reverse engineering the Apple Music Windows client, and injecting/hooking into process memory for exclusive WASAPI mode.

What it would actually take: A functioning version requires C/C++ low-level Windows systems programming, utilizing Windows Core Audio APIs (WASAPI in exclusive mode) and DLL injection or API hooking (e.g., via Microsoft Detours). The developer must intercept Apple Music's proprietary media playback pipeline, decode audio streams without OS resampling, and route bit-perfect PCM buffers directly to the audio hardware.
