cmus_music_monitor
I have re-written this project in rust. I recommend using the rust version, found here.
The rust version will be supported in the future unlike this one.
The rust version also fixes bugs in this script and adds new features, it is also a drop in replacement.
Shell script for Cmus to monitor music listening habits.
Gets all the metadata of the song being listened to, and writes it to a csv.
I have written a small python program utilizing matplotlib to analyze and effectively display the data stored in the .csv.
It can be found here
git clone https://github.com/benarmstead/cmus-music-monitor/
cd cmus-music-monitor
chmod +x musicMonitor.sh
./musicMonitor
I recommend running this script on startup in the background in order for it to always be monitoring Cmus.
e.g. I added exec ~/Scripts/musicMonitor/musicMonitor.sh to my .config/sway/config
<Title>, <Artist>, <Album>, <Genre>, <Song Length>, <Track number>, <Year>, <Play date>, <Play time>, <Volume>
When a tag is not found, then nothing is added except "," , meaning that the columns are always the same for each field.
