nmusic

Node-based music player and organiser, written using React.

Version: 0.0.4-dev

Prerequisites

• Install nodejs if you haven't already
• Install ffmpeg (used for reading tags)
• Get access to a running MongoDB server
• In code/server/config.js:
• 1. Set MONGO_URL to your particular database instance.
• 2. Set MUSIC_DIR to the directory containing your music files.
• 3. Set SERVER_PORT to the port on which you wish to run the server.
• 4. Set GET_ALL_SONGS to false if you have more than a couple of hundred songs.
• Create a clean database: npm run dropdb
• Most important: Install the app: npm install

Tasks

• Clear the database: npm run dropdb
• Scan for music files: npm run updatedb

I suggest running the second one regularly.

Usage

• Start: npm start
• Access the web interface (the default port is 8080)
• The default username and password are user and password respectively

Notes

This is a preview, development release. Expect bugs to exist. Expect lack of key features. Expect to have to debug things.

If you do find a bug, don't be afraid to file an issue on Github! It would be much appreciated.
