Desktop Music Player for Windows and Mac using JavaFX/Java 8

MusicPlayer

MusicPlayer is an open source music player for Mac and Windows.

Features

Playlists

• Add songs to a playlist by:
  • Clicking the "Add Song to Playlist" button when a song is selected.
  • Dragging a song, artist, or album and dropping on the desired playlist to add the dragged contents to the playlist.
  • Selecting multiple songs using CTRL or SHIFT keys, then dragging & dropping on a playlist.

Automatic Music Library Updates

• The app's music library updates on startup if a song has been added or deleted from the user's music directory.

Compatible with Media Keys on Keyboard

• The Play/Pause, Next, and Previous media keys can be used to play, pause, or skip songs.
• Please note that this feature is only available on Windows.

Search

• Easily search for any artist, album, or song.

Installation Instructions

1. Download the MusicPlayer.jar file from the releases directory in the repository.

2. Create a directory in your computer to store the JAR file. When the app runs for the first time, it will create an img directory and a library.xml file to store song data in the directory where the JAR is located.

3. NOTE: THIS STEP IS ONLY NEEDED ON WINDOWS. Download the JIntellitype.dll file from the releases directory and place it in the directory created in Step 2. This file is required by the jintellitype library to enable media key functionality on keyboards. The app will not start properly if the JIntellitype.dll file is not in the same directory as the MusicPlayer.jar file.

4. Run the app by double-clicking the MusicPlayer.jar file.

(OPTIONAL)

5. Create a desktop shortcut for MusicPlayer.jar.

6. Download MusicPlayer_Icon.ico from the releases directory and set it as the icon for the desktop shortcut.

musicplayer's Issues

Memory leak in loading subView fxml

Multiple previously loaded subView fxml nodes can't be garbage collected because of references to a Song object or other observer bindings. I would suggest to change all bindings to weak invalidation listener or just cache/reuse the fxml nodes and update the table model items.
Cheers, Joerg

Recently Played includes songs with play counts of 0

I think it makes sense for the Recently Played playlist to exclude songs that have never been played. Would you agree?

Running on Linux?

Hi, I am really interested in your project. However I am a linux user and it seems like it does not support Linux platform. What is the problem that stops it from running on linux?

can i connect to Internet？ can it support UTF-8？

I have Chinese songs and this app just show messy code.

it can't run

Excuse me ,after i double-clicked the jar file and import my music library,it doesn't skip and still

stay in this interface,what's wrong with it?

Can not play the song when click the 'Play' button

When I click the "Play" button, the song move from "00:00" to "00:01" back and forth.
Until I drag the process bar, the song can play.

OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Still add folder when song have not content.

I have used your app, so good, but one thing make me uncomfortable. My list song haven't content, no title, no album, no artist. So, i can't run your app when i imported my list song.
That's reason. So i recommend you edit your app. Still add songs when it have no content, and if songs have no content, just get it in album "differrent", artist "none", and title just get name file if it have no title.

Program exits without warning

When the music library folder's name is changed the application quits on start. I'm guessing it's because it can't find the folder with the original name

App doesn't start

Jar File: releases/MusicPlayer_v1.1.jar
OS: Mac (OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.5)
Java: Java 1.8.0 (Build 1.8.0-b132).

App doesn't load and only splash screen stays.

Warning message shown in terminal:

2016-06-17 08:43:45.747 java[17421:403574] 08:43:45.747 WARNING:  140: 
This application, or a library it uses, is using the deprecated Carbon Component 
Manager for hosting Audio Units. Support for this will be removed in a future release. 
Also, this makes the host incompatible with version 3 audio units. Please transition 
to the API's in AudioComponent.h

Note: Previous version MusicPlayer_v1.0.2.jar works fine without any issues.

Screenshot:

It doesn't run on OS X

MusicPlayer doesn't run on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

Run recent jar file.

I imported a directory for the first time and no reaction.

Files without title, artist, album are not added to library

<song> <id>81</id> <title/> <artist/> <album/> <length>342</length> <trackNumber>0</trackNumber> <discNumber>0</discNumber> <playCount>0</playCount> <playDate>2016-07-19T22:01:24.268</playDate> <location>/Users/nick/Dropbox/Music/Bon Iver/Bon Iver Eaux Claires Concert/Blindsided.mp3</location> </song>

I have many song files that are like this one. They don't have any metadata from iTunes or other media players. The MusicPlayer app puts them in the library.xml but they do not appear in the GUI to play
