I wrote a music player (2022)
TL;DR
A developer created a simple music player called 'amused' to explore audio file decoding in a sandboxed environment. Despite initial doubts, the project turned out enjoyable, leading to ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
✦ Why It Matters
Consider building a small project to explore a new technology or concept in your field.
Key Takeaways
- Explore building lightweight applications for specific tasks.
- Utilize command line tools to enhance functionality.
- Keep state management simple and ephemeral.
- Leverage existing systems to avoid unnecessary complexity.
How It Works
'Amused' operates as both a music player and a controller, allowing users to manage their music queue through commands. It uses a simple command line interface to enqueue, play, and pause music, while also enabling users to save and load their queue state using standard shell commands.
