Lexus Music Player: An electron music lib/player

LMP - Lexus Music Player

A learning project for myself.

Learning Objectives

With this project, I want to refresh / learn the following things:

• Elektron, the App framework for javascript
• Project organization: How to organize files / modules / packages
• Play music with Elektron
• Handle MP3 tags in a (memory) DB

Planned Features

This is an unordered list of features that MAY be implemented some day - in unknown releases.

• Plays sound files (mp3, aac, wav, ogg, ...?)
• can be started with file(s) from command line
• folder browser (no file index)
• Index browser (by title, album, interpret)
• search (index and file-based)
  • simple "google" search
  • specific by attributes
  • sophisticated and/or combination search
• Creates a file index:
  • parses folder tree
  • extracts meta infos from files (mp3 tags etc)
  • stores meta info as well as file hash
  • meta infos: title, album, interpret, length, genre ....?
  • file index is stored in a in-memory-db for speed, and stored using sqlite backup api back to disk.
  • indexing is taking place in the background
• Player supports playing, pausing, stopping, seeking
  • Always plays a "playlist", either a user playlist or an internal one (all, single song)
  • play in order, or random
• Playlists: Create playlists, add songs to it
  • internal playlists, always available:
    • all songs
    • actual song
    • on-the-fly playlist (e.g. if playing a single album)
