Installation

go get -u github.com/issadarkthing/gomu

Configuration

By default, gomu will look for audio files in ~/music directory. If you wish to change to your desired location, edit ~/.config/gomu/config file and change music_dir: path/to/your/musicDir.

Sample config file:

color:
  accent:            "#008B8B"
  background:        none
  foreground:        "#FFFFFF"
  now_playing_title: "#017702"
  playlist:          "#008B8B"
  popup:             "#0A0F14"

general:
  confirm_bulk_add:  true
  confirm_on_exit:   true
  load_prev_queue:   true
  music_dir:         ~/music
  popup_timeout:     5s
  volume:            100
  emoji:             true
  fzf:               false

Fzf

Eventhough gomu can use fzf as its finder but it is recommended to use built-in finder. This is due to the bug which may cause the application to hang up if fzf is being used for a long period of time (not everytime). As of v1.5.0, the default built-in finder will be used instead of fzf. To override this behaviour, edit this line fzf: false to change it into true in ~/.config/gomu/config.

Project Background

I just wanted to implement my own music player with a programming language i'm currently learning (Go). Gomu might not be stable as it in constant development. For now, it can fulfill basic music player functions such as:

• add and delete songs from queue
• create playlists
• skip
• play
• pause

Seeking and more advanced stuff has not yet been implemented; feel free to contribute :)
