Music is too spread out, there is no way to organize and store all your music in one place. Think about how Youtube has all the music on their website, but you have to search over and over again if you want to change to a new song.
We want to be able to listen to and organize music files in one place (mp3, etc) locally. The user should be able to sort their music in order to address the organization issue that music applications like Youtube struggle with. This means they can sort by artist, title, etc.
Similar applications: Windows Media Player, Spotify, Youtube Music, iTunes
The user has downloaded music files that they can put into the app in MP3 format.
The user has a personal computer that can download the application to use it. The user should have Java and Maven installed to run the application.
People are meant to add their own MP3s and either listen from the main library or create playlists and listen to those.
Create a GUI for the user to interact with to add songs, create playlists, etc. The music is stored via some type of list and can be accessed when the user interacts with the GUI. The application should be able to locally store additional information about the song files, such as the title, artist, song picture, etc, and display it on the interface for the user to see. We will be using Java, JavaFX to implement the audio features, and then SceneBuilder to create a GUI.

- Clone the repository
- Find the controller class in the musicplayer folder and go to the initialize method
- Find the file path that contains "one minute of silence" inside the initialize method and replace it with the path from the song already included in the resources folder; different OS format the file path differently so you must replace it with the one that your OS recognizes. This is a sentinel song that will not play; it's just required to initialize the media player.
- Run the driver file to start the app (you can also start by adding MP3 files you already have into the resources/songfolder directory; files from spotifydown.com are recommended because the metadata in those mp3 files is very clean and formattable). Otherwise, you can add individual songs using the + button in the top right of the application.
Note: there isn't very good error management so if anything goes wrong (i.e. adding an MP4 instead of MP3) you can just manually remove the files from songfolder/playlistfiles and relaunch the application

We solved our problem by creating an interface where a user can manage music they have downloaded easily and can use as an offline music player, provided they have some internet access to download the songs to begin with. It has a modern and easily navigable interface that is user-friendly and intuitive.

JTunes is a simple computer application that allows you to listen to music completely offline. It allows you to add songs in mp3 format, make playlists, and essentially have all the functionalities of a modern music application while being disconnected from the internet.
