Compiling from source

Requirements:

  • cargo

Build

cargo build --release

The logging program is intended and designed to be run in the background on boot.

Output

<Title>, <Artist>, <Album>, <Genre>, <Song Length>, <Track number>, <Year>, <Play date>, <Play time>, <Volume>

When a tag is not found, then nothing is added except ",", meaning that the columns are always the same for each field.

Previous versions

Music Monitor is a derivative of some previous programs I have written. However I have re-written them in Rust for music monitor to ensure it is pure Rust.

Including a shell music monitor here.

And a music log analyser written in python here.

Each music player needs unique support for logging.

The analysis and visualiser will work on and .csv following the above described format.

Supported Music Players:

  • Cmus

Currently only CMUS is supported.

I would greatly appreciate help adding support for logging with other music players.

This is only a matter of adding a few vairables, but I don't use any other music player but cmus, so cannot do any extensive testing.
