Music filtering application

As I usually tend to have several playlists of music depending on the context (music for workout, commuting, family trip, etc.), I have create a simple CLI application to create playlist from a json file.

Considerations

• Main music folder must be called: Music
• Songs must be locally stored
• Song name's must follow this format: Band - Song
• Format of the song is not important: mp3, wma ...

Generate a template json

As it may be tedious to write a json for all the songs, there exists the possibility of creating one automatically by using the following command:

./music_filter -t

Or

./music_filter --template

Automatically, it scans Music folder and creates a file called All_Music.json with the appropriate format.

Generate a playlist from a json file

It requires to have a json file properly formatted. The field playlist in json file determines the name of the new folder that is going to be created by this app.

Shortcuts

• * : To select every single song of a band. Instead of writing all the list of songs this symbol can be used
• ~ : Not to select any song of a band

Example of use

music_filter -c workout_music.json

or

music_filter --config=workout_music.json
