#playlist.py

A little program to launch music randomly choosen in a directory.

The main purpose is to play music in a DB without using any DB system such as Itunes or Clementine. But, the only thing you can do is to play an album randomly. I also wanted to keep track of albums that I had already played, so I can listen to something different everytime.

##Prerequisites

1. Only work with python3
2. Ensure that your music folder is in the form folder/artists/albums/music.xxx

##Install

1. launch ./install.py, the install script will ask you to choose the path to your music, a folder to keep the log file and the name of the program used to play music. Note that the program have only been tested on Linux, with gnome-mpv and vlc. It may not work with terminal music players such as ncmpcpp because playlist.py use subprocess to launch the player, which let playlist.py be the main command on the terminal (it may be fixed later). an example of config file:

   config = {
    "bdd":"/home/samuel/Documents/Music",
    "log":"/home/samuel/.config/playlist/playlist.log",
    "player":"gnome-mpv"
   }
   

2. launch ./playlist.py with or without options.
3. Enjoy!

##Usage

• -n, dont keep track of albums already played
• -l, loop through albums without confirm

##Todo

• Caching system
• Check filetypes to only play music
• Add terminal player support
