Jammer — light-weight TUI music player

banner

Introduction

Tired of opening up a browser or app to play music, and even then you can't play local files or songs from different sites?

Jammer is a simple CLI music player that supports playing songs from your local files, Youtube and Soundcloud.

Compatible with Windows, Linux.

Jammer shines its best when using it as a playlist. That's why I created it, for the playlist feature across different platforms

  • The player doesn't stream the songs, but downloads them to local storage.
  • The Jammer folder is located in the user's home directory and contains the downloaded songs, playlists, settings, keybinds, locales and effects modification.
  • Jammer uses Bass for playing the songs and ManagedBass for being able to use it in .NET, SoundCloudExplode, YoutubeExplode for downloading the songs and Spectre.Console for the UI.

soundcloud every now and then changes the client id, which is not cool, so this allows change allows the user to change it :) on default the keybind is Alt + Shift + 1 or go change it in the settings.json

way to get the id on your own

  • open up the soundcloud.com
  • open the inspect element -> Network tab
  • start playing some random song
  • you start to see some entries in the network tab. you should see some thing like me?client_id=wDSKS1Bp8WmdlRPkZ7NQXGs67PMXl2Nd
