Music Player

Music Player is a Python desktop music player application built using Tkinter and Pygame, with integration of the Spotify Web API to search songs online. The application allows users to:

• Import and play local MP3 files
• Search songs online via Spotify
• View search history
• Maintain a playlist of imported songs
• Control playback and volume through a graphical interface

This project demonstrates skills in Python GUI development, API integration, file handling, and multimedia playback.

• history.dat - Spotify search history
• info.dat - project information

Graphical User Interface

Built using Tkinter, providing:

• Play / Pause controls
• Volume adjustment
• Playlist management
• Song search field
• History and imported songs viewer

Technologies Used

• Python
• Tkinter – GUI interface
• Pygame – Music playback
• Spotipy – Spotify API wrapper
• PrettyTable – Display formatted tables
• Pickle – Binary data storage

Spotify API Setup (Required)

This project uses the Spotify Web API to search songs.
Before running the program, you must create a Spotify Developer Application.

Step 1 – Create a Spotify Developer Account

Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard:

https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/

Log in using your Spotify account and click Create App.

Step 2 – Get Your Credentials

After creating the app, Spotify will provide a Client ID and Client Secret. Copy these values.

Step 4 – Add Redirect URI

Inside the Spotify app settings, click Edit Settings and the following redirect URI:

http://localhost:8888/callback

Save the settings.

Step 5 – Replace Placeholders in the Code

Locate this section in the code:

clientID = 'Your client ID'
clientSecret = 'Your client secret'
redirect_url = 'Your redirect url'

Replace it with your Spotify credentials:

clientID = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID'
clientSecret = 'YOUR_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET'
redirect_url = 'http://localhost:8888/callback'
