Listen Listen

A TUI and GUI music player built with C and Go.

This music player consists of:

• a daemon in C which runs a server to interact with GStreamer
• a GUI
• a TUI (going to be) built with Go using @charmbracelet's bubbletea and lipgloss.

Installation

1. Install using git:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Shreyaskr1409/listen-listen listen-listen
cd listen-listen/

2. Build the server

make build-server

3. Build the GUI (requires Clay and Raylib)

# make build-gui (yet to be developed)

4. Build the TUI (development yet to start)

# make build-tui (yet to be developed)

Current Status

The daemon setup is done enough to do basic testings with GUI. Implementation for gapless playback is yet to be done, but I will be implementing it very soon. This project is at a very early stage with only a basic daemon working.

For now the current plan is to implement the following:

• GUI setup to
  1. Scan a user given folder
  2. Play the songs in a queue
  3. Add playlist management
• Add gapless playback to the daemon.
• Add scripts to test the files easily.
• Handle cases where the URI is not a file but is available through something like HTTP.

While dealing with different OS, I prefer to have different Makefile for different platforms instead of having a CMake or Meson build system. I do not want a build system to build a build system to build my project, atleast not at the scale at which I am at right now.
