🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 A simple app for playing shared music at events 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Upload and queue music to play on a server. Suitable for private functions like lanparties or railscamps etc. Doesn't stream music, literally plays music on a Mac server.

1. Upload music (that you have the rights to share/play).
2. Queue music.
3. When the queue finishes, random music will play.

Doesn't screw around with itunes at all because that's super difficult.

Designed for #railscamp 17

System requirements

1. A Mac - it shells out to afplay in the background because I'm terrible.
2. Ruby and Rails.
3. taglib (brew install taglib)
4. postgres (brew install postgresql)
5. Speakers to listen to your rad music.
6. foreman (gem install foreman)

Starting the 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

1. Clone this repo
2. bundle install
3. rake db:create db:migrate (you might need to futz around with config/database.yml)
4. foreman start

TODO

1. Make the UI heaps nicer.
2. Allow multiple songs to be uploaded at once.
3. Allow the songs to be stopped using the UI.
4. When the server boots, do a check to see that there is a Music job queued.
5. Song searching.
6. TESTS!
7. If there's a binary like afplay on linux or something that could be a thing.
8. Explore discovering songs on a local network using bonjour or something clever.
