Shell script for playing music from YT with a text queue file and mpv

Hi, I am kind of hesitant to post this because I wrote this myself and it's definitely not polished but I thought people might find it useful considering some of the music related things I have seen posted here. This doesn't have anything fancy like a recommendation system or pretty ui but it makes it very easy to listen to music and keep a history of what you've listened to. If it means anything, this is the only thing I use for music playing. Features: - Everything is a text file (queue, your listen/artist history)! - Mpv as music player (you can control or get info using the ipc…

    mpvc-tui – A minimal mpc-like CLI and TUI for controlling mpv2022 · gmt4.github.io · ▲47

    Hi there, This is just a shameless self-plug about a personal project of mine: "Using mpv and mpvc to play and manage the stuff I listen." To that end I've forked the great https://github.com/lwilletts/mpvc and started hacking around, so far I've focused on: getting a minimal TUI working, improving the CLI, playing online music (eg. youtube and other streaming services), and bugfixes (including the introducing new ones). The project is mainly developed, and, used under Debian/Ubuntu systems so expect the best results with these. What I expect from sharing in HN is: -…

  • ChatGPT▲1,643

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
