Show HN: a new take on a music player. early stage
- albertzeyer 14y agoThis music player is different to existing players that it both tries to be simple and everything is centered around a dynamic playlist. This is Python together with a small C Python module which depends on ffmpeg and PortAudio. So it should be pretty portable. The GUI frontend code is currently OSX/Cocoa only but it was all designed in a way that other GUI frontends are easy to add. There is also a downloadable OSX app bundle: https://github.com/downloads/albertz/music-player/MusicPlayer-0.5.zip https://github.com/downloads/albertz/music-player/MusicPlaye... So far, it has/does: * plays music from ~/Music (.mp3, .flac, .ogg, .wma) * prefers higher rated music (based on your local iTunes database) * prefers similar to recently played music (based on genre/tags) * makes UI notifications on new songs * support media keys (play/pause, next) * Last.fm scrobble support * simple GUI. supports simple editing of playlist. songs can be drag&dropped to it from Finder * ReplayGain analyzer algorithm with automatic audio volume normalization. it does not just read the metatags. this is actually the only other ReplayGain implementation I know, despite the original one from mp3gain.
