Re-Sound - Remote music library [WIP]

Play your local music file remotely !

Resound is a web music-player that can be used to play your local music files from everywhere

Purpose / Goal

Having your MP3s on a disk is an easy thing to manage, managing them between your PC, phone, and other devices is really something else

The purpose of Re-Sound is to store all of your files on one device, and use this Resound to play them on any device !

Features

• Full library discovery
• MP3 file parsing (MetaData + Covers)
• Listening statistics
• Full gallery + Shuffle
• Music Genre Gallery
• MediaSession & Media signal support (Play/Pause, Next, Previous...)

Requirements

• Internet connection
• SQL Database
• PHP 8
• FTP Server on Library device

Installation

First, clone the application and make an empty configuration

git clone https://github.com/yonis-savary/resound.git --recursive

cd resound

# Create the database, a user and configure the library
./install.sh

Then, you can either connect to your server through a HTTP Server like Apache, or launch php do serve to launch PHP's built-in server

When connected to Re-Sound:

More

Mood mode

Click on the 'mood-mode' button (vinyl icon) next to the 'skip' button to create a new tracklist from currently played song, next songs are now of the same artist/genre !

Advanced Bluetooth/Hands-Free control

If your audio device has controls with the 'skip' and 'previous' buttons :

• Press 'previous' two times quickly to shuffle through your entire library
• Press 'skip' two times quickly to enable mood-mode !

This way, you can quickly choose what you want to listen without looking at your library

CRON

You can add a CRON job to discover new files instead of clicking 'Discover new tracks' button every time music is added to your library

0 * * * * cd /dir-to-resound && php do discover-new-files

This way, a process to discover new files is launched every hour
