[Feature request] "Cassette Tape UI"

This is a silly feature request, but one that I can't get out of my head so I'm just going to make it and the community can judge if it's worth any effort. I don't know much about phone app development and figured it's worth asking in case it's a) trivial and b) other folks think it's worthwhile.

The new Sony Walkman devices have a feature called the "Cassette Tape UI" which shows an animated depiction of a cassette tape, labeled with the current song, playing while listening to music. This is completely superfluous, but neat and nostalgic. It would be pretty cool if Finamp had a similar screen. image

It'd be a pretty fun thing to mess about with, although it isn't exactly a P0 🙃

Maybe once Flutter gets 3D support (the Sony example looks to be hand-drawn though, which may be easier)

Ahhrg, I'm not sure if I'd like this. Supporting different "skins" would make the code unreasonably more complicated I think. But maybe I'm wrong. It just seems like a bad idea to me 😅
