Ever wanted to play music while working, but wanted more than just some plain background audio?
Ever felt that a static playlist could never capture the dynamism of your development process?
Well, friend, do I have the tool for you!
Gop-Music uses "algorithms and coding" to automatically play music suited your writing style.
Background music for coding, but done the right way.
A video demonstration of gop-music in action can be found here.
In the interests of transparency, I should note that the functionality provided by Gop-music can only be achieved by tracking the frequency of key-presses, which, unfortunately, is a feature also used by many malicious applications. While Gop-Music doesn't log the exact keys you press, nor does it share any data with any devices, if you want to use Gop-music, it is strongly advised you read through the source code yourself.
I'm not sure how pipenv works, or if it works in this way, but I've been using pipenv to make my development environment, so maybe if you use pipenv shell it'll recreate the environment? If not, raise an issue, and I may fix it.
pipenv shell
Anyway, all subsequent commands assume that your python environment contains all the required packages.
Use the music_manager script to load songs to a profile (by default all profiles stored in ~/.typemusic/)
usage: music_manager.py [-h] [-p PROFILE] [-s] [-v] [--force-mood MOOD]
[--min-length MIN-LENGTH]
ACTION
Helper script to manage the internal music library used by gop-music.
positional arguments:
ACTION The action to perform. Should be one of: add-song,
remove-song, list-songs, list-snippets, test-run
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
Type Music can maintain multiple libraries of songs to
use for its music source - use this to group songs by
different moods,etc. Defaults to the default profile.
-s, --silent Whether to run in silent mode (useful for scripts).
-v, --visualise-beats
Whether plot the beats produced by each song. -
Requires manual saving
--force-mood MOOD, -f MOOD
The beat detection is a bit iffy, so sometimes you may
want to manually force a certain mood.
--min-length MIN-LENGTH, -m MIN-LENGTH
Minimum length for a snippet. Snippet lengths aren't
used when playing, only for the detection process
The beat detection is currently a bit iffy, so I often just use --force-mood to manually define a categorisation for the track I want to add.
Once music has been loaded, launch the main program to start gop-music:
usage: main.py [-h] [-p PROFILE]
Gop-Music automatic music player
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
Name of the profile to load. Defaults to
the default profile.
