So i've been working on a music player and manager for a few months now, currently in alpha stages. The goal was to make it fast/sleek as fuck with plenty of power-user/hotkey tricks (Like a cmus/Foobar inspired hybrid). So I got searching to be practically instant now with cached id3 tags. You can favorite tracks for easy access and even view lyrics (using a simple and clean web scrape).

It would be awesome if a few of you could do the first alpha test of it and would be awesome enough to give some feedback and report problems. If you want to try it, please have tagged music and an album/artist focused collection and not just random singles. You can email me at [email protected] and i'll send it over. It's written in python, if anyone is wondering.

Also what features are the nicest to have in music managers and players? I want to release this in a few months or so. UI improvement suggestions are welcome.

1st of all nobody wants to install your shitty virus malware

2nd of all you will never make something better than musicbee, foobar2k, winamp, clementine etc... your effort is futile and a waste of time

delet ur "project" and go jack off, will be more productive

Wow fuck this guy

Hey OP I'll try it. Atomica? Any dl link?

Will it be GPLv3, free as in freedom? Also if it is, please do not call it open source as you are hurting GNU, the FSF and the whole free software community.

OP I'm not about to try it due to awful experiences in the past but one suggestion would be to have some sort of folder view, some players manage to skip that and for people who don't have music tagged it's kind of a pain in the ass

Why would you waste your time when foobar2000 already exists?

I've shown it multiple times to different forums and always had interest. Otherwise I would keep it to myself because I built it the way I've always wanted music players to be. It's my second big personal hobby project. I make more than enough money at my work to not give a fuck about your idea of productive.

and malware? meme more kiddo, it's written in python 2.7 and cxfreezed.

Feel free to run any kind of virus total on it.

Parametric Equalizer.

Really no player has one not even default foobar but i bet there's a plugin for that, i can only recall Neutron in Android having one.

Other features might be Folder view, sorting by album artist, crossfeed, streaming, flac/opus/ogg support, etc.

>Oneohtrix Point Never

Into the trash this shit "music player" goes...

Really says a lot about what kind of faggot you are. Fuck off my Sup Forums

>c#
Ayy lamo

Sounds pretty cool, sent you an email and seriously
fuck this guy, this is why there aren't any smart people left on Sup Forums

stay mad faggot, ur shit project is absolutely worthless

your autism is hilarious. look at all that fucken time youre spending on literally making a shit music player, youd be better off just making a foobar2k skin

instead u spend all ur time making something thats shitter than what already exists

LOL

An equalizer is next on my implementation list. Along with minimal toaster notifications/popups.
Folder view would be cool, but not a priority atm. Streaming also works (if you can find the directory parent in explorer).
Flac is supported 100%, Opus and OGG might be too, i'll have to test that out.

Can you elaborate on sorting by album artist?

Thanks for feedback

I can only imagine the shit taste you have.
Thanks for the laugh though kiddo.

You are dumb and your shitty ass project is worthless.

Kill yourself.

Hey, what about tracker music support? You know all them keygen musics and shit you gotta love them tunes

>The goal was to make it fast/sleek as fuck
>It's written in python
lmao

>email me at [email protected] and i'll send it over.
>no github/bithub/gitbit/bitbucket/mcgucket page
so on top of being shit it also happens to be proprietary?

Nah, it's just malware so he's not gonna release the code.

>The goal was to make it fast
>It's written in python

THIS DESU SENPAI

>I have always wanted my music player to look like windows 10 shit

>An equalizer is next on my implementation list
Yeah but i mean a parametric one, not the graphic one you see on everything.

>Can you elaborate on sorting by album artist?
pic related, the group is Alstroemeria, but one or more songs of the album have different artists. There's an "album artist" tag for this.

>it's written in python 2.7 and cxfreezed.
Into the trash it goes.

Damn, dude, relax and fuck off.

These people are why we have so few choices in certain software areas.

I for one am proud of user for taking on such an endeavor. It kind of inspires me that one can make something great with time and effort.

Is it that time of day? to be an edgy faggot? I'm already rich kiddo, I code purely as hobby and this is one of my first big projects.

Unless you're counting milliseconds or you're on a toaster it will not matter for such programs. Are you too dumb to know this?

Care to explain? Not ideal, of course. I never expected other people to be interested, but they were and are now (i'm getting emails at this second)

>look like windows 10
I can't tell if you're retarded, but i'm pretty convinced. Care to explain your comment?

Thanks user, will implement both of these.

>useless shit inspires me to make more useless shit
Top kek fampie.
You can code your worthless crap all you want, but don't post it here or anywhere else on the Internet, because there's enough worthless software like yours as it is.

Fuck off back to where you belong.

Well I appreciate that you keep making my thread bigger and monitor it, and care enough to type out your frustration. Genuine thanks.

>because there's enough worthless software like yours as it is
Because every program is new and innovative and game changing, fuck off retard. If I didn't have people asking for it I wouldn't give a shit about releasing it. Maybe you should stop posting here and recharge your contrarian meter in the meme threads.

>Because every program is new and innovative and game changing
It should be and most of all you should be able to monetize it, otherwise it's a piece of useless trash, however long and hard you worked, it's trash.

I've been here much longer than you newfag, not that it's anything to be proud of. I have no doubts about this.

>meme usage of "edgy"
hm

>kiddo
hmm

>code/coding
underage

Nonetheless, nice user. You're doing more than 95% of this board will ever attempt. Good luck with your project.

btw open source it, etc etc

>It should be and most of all you should be able to monetize it, otherwise it's a piece of useless trash, however long and hard you worked, it's trash.
This is textbook autism, I laugh at the thought of you typing this and thinking it's normal or appropriate, even by Sup Forums standards. Thanks for this, at least I can still laugh on Sup Forums these days.

I'm already rich you faggot, I don't give a shit about money. I code purely for fun and there was interest in me releasing this. If you stopped posting in this thread, you'd be doing your own favor.

But I don't give a shit that you're rich or not, dumbass. I'm talking about the software and yours is useless. If you want to keep writing it, don't ever show it to anyone or distribute it on the Internet, unless you're doing it for the purposes of padding your github portfolio. So please fucking stop overflowing the network with your useless garbage, thanks bye.

>i-it's totally not a waste of time because I have money h-haha!!! I swear it's not worthless!! It's free bro!!

Your project is shit. Kys

most important thing is: being able to set my own custom filter orders, and being able to sort by any field I want. Tons of music players don't allow sorting by composer, which makes using them with classical music really lame.

If you want people to test your ma- Music player then upload that shit on GitGud.

Otherwise, You're clearly producing malware and attempting to spread it on the Sup Forums imageboard, You mongoloid shitposter.

Found the person who is jealous

IDK if you're planning this or not, but it needs to have a tray icon and support for minimize to tray. That's something that really pisses me off about foobar and something that musicbee only did kinda goodish.

>implying old fags don't use reddit
Not using reddit is a meme

>all these bitter fags
did your arch break or something

Nobody said you had to care about my wealth you degenerate.
I'm entertained by how butthurt you faggots can be. I don't see why I would hide my own software if other people are asking for it (like right fucking now, i'm getting many more emails than I expected). By posting, you are advertising my thread even more. You seriously think I find your post demotivating and it will have any impact? Maybe you should stop wasting your time posting such asinine comments faggot.

I had fun programming it, and practicing my programming too. Are you seriously trying to define what a waste of time for myself is?
Keep posting please, Sup Forums is one of the few boards where autistic rage can be entertaining.

Just make it like foobar, and port it over to linux.
Foobar is already perfect for me.

Why haven't you uploaded the project to github/gitlab/etc?

I definitely plan to, at least when I get close to a beta product. Would be awesome if other people eventually help out, but that's still long ways away.

Looks pretty cool. Always glad to see new software. Helps encourage competition.

A music player seems like a pretty hard project to maintain. I hope you see it through till the end and do all you intend to with it, regardless of what the shitposters say.

Thank you user. I'm only an intermediate programmer at best, I know i'm not some type of Carmack or anything. This is also my first GUI programming project, that's how it actually started.

I'm not saying this will be better than foobar or musicbee. Autists are truly something special. I personally DO find it better because the hotkeys make navigating really really fast, the search is also the fastest i've seen. I personally prioritize those types of features.

That's kind of a cop-out. Put the source code up so I can read it and compile it myself and I'll give it a shot. Otherwise I can only assume it's malware

what's the license ? any source code ? Do you accept contributions ?

If you seriously think it's a virus, don't bother. I really can't bother to prove. I'd just use virus total to scan like all the a/vs.

I don't want to share source because the code is raw as fuck, not something i'm proud of yet. plenty of commented code and all that sort too.

I'll release the source code when it's code i'm proud of and the bugs are fixed.

>what's the license ? any source code ? Do you accept contributions ?

Not going to release source yet, for reasons I stated above. If someone is interested in helping develop with me privately, i'm open to the idea. Just please have python 2.7 and TKinter experience and not cry at some of my current code. If interested in that, shoot me an email.

If you mean money contributions, I don't care for that.

night mode when?

Be able to sort things by album artist. This shit drives me crazy in so many (linux) players.

So just group the tracks if they all have the same album name and ignore the artist check, right?

Hmm... shouldn't be hard to fix up.

Yeah pretty much, maybe with a fallback of year or something in case there are albums with the same name.

>fallback of year or something in case there are albums with the same name

this is exactly what I would have done user, are you reading my mind?

post something constructive on Sup Forums and get flamed to hell kek

yeah because we need more AMD vs Intel threads.

>will implement both of these.
Are you really going to implement a parametric equalizer?

Im not a programmer but that sounds hard. There are like one or two music players overall with that as a default feature.

If I can't do it myself, I can likely find a module to do most of the work for me. that's the beauty with python (and most other languages), so many fucking modules. if it turns out resource intensive i'll cut it though.

AMD is a joke though. like always.
same tard creates those threads.

>not playing Pete Stands Alone

a proper search, with filters and decent logic
here's a good example of the kind of thing i am talking about:
hip.cmlibrary.org/ipac20/ipac.jsp?profile=plcmc&menu=search&submenu=power

I have filters, all, album, artists (that's what the dropdown is on the right).
When set to all (by default) it searches all 3 components of the id3 tags. It actually works out really well, search is the least of my worries it's literally instant and never had any problems.

the point is combining searches in different ways
so you can eg shuffle all albums by one artist except one without having to make a playlist and then manually remove that album

>he doesn't read
what a faggot

These. Op you really should look into both these suggestions
>Mad fizzbuzzers
LMAO

Do people still use the tray icon after the windows 7 dock?
I haven't and try to keep that shit empty, but if a lot of people use it then i'll implement.

Definitely will do nightmode, but it will take some time.

Just removed the dashes from the album name and made the font bigger, pic related.

Only some use it as the taskbar design in 7 is good enough.

Stay out of the systray unless you're supporting XP. It's evil.

Also, does it run on Linux?

Foobar has a tray icon and it can minimize to tray.

Well it's python and on tkinter, should run just fine on any OS. OSX/Linux, whatever. Problem is I have to tweak the code to abide by the proper file structure, and setup VMs to test. I plan to release mac and Linux versions during the beta (a few months). It's not a priority.

I am really curious to see how it runs in wine though.

g is about only board in Sup Forums where you can't have actual discussion. It's much worse than v and pol. Mods don't give a fuck about this board. Nonsense and loq quality posts should be banned from this board.

>1st of all nobody wants to install your shitty virus malware
Definitely not running OPs program without the source code.
>2nd of all you will never make something better than musicbee, foobar2k, winamp, clementine etc... your effort is futile and a waste of time
>delet ur "project" and go jack off, will be more productive
Nah, keep up the good work OP. Worst thing that could happen is you don't learn anything new, but I'm guessing you already have learned a few things.

I learned the majority of my programming skills from programming it and 95% of my python skills.

It started out as my first GUI practice project. Took a long, long time to get this far honestly.

I'm going to make it fucking good and post the beta on Sup Forums in a few months.
I'll remember to post this archived thread when my program gets thousands of users.

Something to look forward to.

Why do you not want random singles? Can you program only efficiently handle albums?

This

The two nicest features are good support for random singles and tagless/poorly tagged collections (ie: those owned by people with better things to do)

>it's an application
>it's written in python
Oh, of course. You're one of those retards that should have never programmed, but ended up doing it because someone made a language easy enough.

nah singles work just fine. they just look awkward when mixed with full albums during a search.

You can also easily just favorite the singles you really like, etc.

the search is fast as fuck and very universal (by default), faster than musicbee for me. instant even on my HDD.

I skimmed through the thread and it's a shame it got so shitpostey

Keep it up senpai, I wish you all the best

I've been programming for years, python is new to me.

I'm a hardware engineer, officially. Python is a breath of fresh air.
Like I said, I'll laugh at you faggots when I release the beta. I've done more difficult.

Thank you user.
I really don't mind. I'm having a ton of fun programming right now and reading this shit storm thread.

I won't disappoint you.

> that one can make something great with time and effort.

Bullshit from fairytales. Grow up cuckkiddo.

Why this shit looks like gnome app from year 2005?

>I am worthless and will always be worthless

That's so sad user.

Is that a bad thing?

>something great with time and effort.
not great though
have fun though

>2.7

what's wrong with 2.7?

Nope, it's c#, retard.

Depends

Once you tell me why should I even give this shit a chance over godtier Foobar2k

how is it better than any other music player out there?

First of all, respect from a fellow developer on this endeavor, it's always cool to see.

I haven't tried your player, but if it doesn't exist I would suggest adding an easy way to add songs to the "next queue" like in Foobar. I find myself switching between playlists a lot, looking for cool songs, right-clicking them, so I can play them next.

Put it up on Github.

Make it look like winamp.
Alternatively: Support winamp plugins.

This entire thread is embarrassing.

Lmao butthurt neckbeard who can't actually code/hold a job

Looks good so far, but would like a better ui desu

Don't worry about those guys user, what you're doing is cool, and so long as YOU like what you're producing and doing in your time, then fuck those other faggots.
