Headset

Linux: Windows:

Headset is a simple music player for Mac, Windows and Linux with integrated YouTube search, a home screen with popularity list by genres and eras, and best of all, a radio powered by Reddit. Headset takes the songs that are shared in over 80 music subreddits, categorizes them and plays them automatically. It's a great and pretty unique way to find new music as it is chosen by other humans like you and not by algorithms.

Installation

Using Homebrew (macOS)

Update Homebrew and install headset using Hombrew Cask

brew update
brew cask install headset

Linux

As an alternative to .deb and .rpm packages on the website, you can also install it directly from the command-line:

Debian

wget -q http://headsetapp.co/headset-electron/debian/headset.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://headsetapp.co/headset-electron/debian stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/headset.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install headset

Redhat

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo http://headsetapp.co/headset-electron/redhat/headset.repo
sudo dnf install headset

--- Or ---

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo http://headsetapp.co/headset-electron/redhat/headset.repo
sudo yum install headset

Build from source

If you would like to create a build for a different environment (e.g Manjaro or Aur, etc.) please follow these steps:

1. Install NodeJs 6.2.0 or later

2. Clone the Repo

$ git clone https://github.com/headsetapp/headset-electron.git

3. Go into your specific OS folder and install dependencies

$ cd headset-electron/linux
$ npm install

On Linux, the dbus module also has it's own dependencies that need to be installed.

4. Create your build:

electron-packager . \
  --executable-name headset \
  --ignore "(bin|Procfile|sig|gh-pages)" \
  --prune true \
  --out build/ \
  --overwrite \
  --asar \
  --platform=linux \
  --arch=x64

For Linux, a 32bit system is required in order to package Headset for arch=ia32 due to dbus module own dependencies.

5. [Optional] For the Ubuntu build, we're using electron-installer-debian and for the Fedora build, we're using electron-installer-redhat. There might be an installer for your specific version, just have to google it.
