play-music

A simple command-line music player.

Currently depends on other programs to play the songs, but this will be integrated into play-music in the future.

Available play strategies (in order of priority):

1. With mpv https://mpv.io/, if present.
2. With cvlc https://www.videolan.org/vlc/, if present.

How to Build

Dependencies:

• zig 0.14.0 (other versions may work) - https://ziglang.org.

There is a flake.nix you can use with nix develop to get them.

Then, run the following command(s):

zig build

You can append the following arguments for different optimizations:

• -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe - Faster.
• -Doptimize=ReleaseFast - Fasterer, no safety checks.
• -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall - Faster, smaller binaries, no safety checks.

I.e.:

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

The executable will appear in zig-out/bin/.

Installation

You can install it with Nix from my personal package repository https://paltepuk.xyz/cgit/epitaphpkgs.git/about.
