This application lets you play music right in your terminal! You'll be flabberghasted by how fun and intuitive the interface is.

Get started by cloning this repo, and then run the following commands:

• yarn
• yarn install:local

This installs the play command globally and will require a password. Alternatively, if you do not want to install the CLI globally or cannot sudo, you can use yarn dev in place of play.

To play a song, simply append your search query to the play command like so:

play old town road

To change songs, use your arrow keys to choose one of the provided playback controls ⏮, ⏯, and ⏭. Music Browser CLI uses Youtube Music under the hood, and the playlist is determined randomly based on the song you select.

To adjust volume, arrow down to the volume control and press enter. Then use left/right arrow keys to adjust and press enter again.

To search for a different song, enter your query in the search box and arrow down to select a new song and press enter.

It's that easy!

If you want to contribute to this project, please reach out. We are still planning to implement many features including using Spotify or Apple Music in place of YTMusic, and could use help (especially if you're familiar with React, Typescript, and Puppeteer).
