JCMusic

The successor to CMusic!

How do I run the application?

1. Install Java 24 here -> https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk24-archive-downloads.html
2. Open the run.bat file!

Command line arguments

--no-gui: runs the app in CLI mode (CURRENTLY BROKEN/VERY BUGGY)

• ex: java -jar JCMusic.jar --no-gui
• or if you want to specify a playlist file directory: java -jar JCMusic.jar --no-gui <yourplaylist.jcmpl>

If you want the gui just launch the jar as normal.

Playlist editor

1. In the first box, input the directory you want the playlist file to be written to (including the filename at the end).
2. Input the directory to scan songs (recursively scans directories for songs and imports them).
3. Click import songs to finalize the playlist creation Note: this creates a new playlist file everytime, if you use an old playlist file name it WILL overwrite it completely (this will be subject to change).

Customization

Simply just modify the colors in config.txt. And, drag and drop a gif called animation.gif in your JCMusic.jar directory to get a custom gif to show up!

Notes

Lots of things are subject to change considering this is still a beta

This was made in JDK 24, please install it if you plan on using/contirbuting this JCMusic! Alongside this certain features haven't been ported yet, such as themes and the legacy playlist format. MP3s are not supported yet. Supports: the .wav ,.aif, .aiff, .au, .snd audio formats.

For linux users: WayLand is NOT supported and the GUI will go unresponsive!

How to compile?

1. Firstly, ensure that the compile.sh is executable by running chmod +X compile.sh
2. Run ./compile.sh
3. The JAR file should be outputted!

Well how do I add or remove specific songs from a playlist?

Since it's still in development, it's still rather tedious.

1. Open your *.jcmpl file
2. Add/Remove specific songs.

Software design is my passion, how could you tell?
