Likely more fields.

The utility commands should be able to play the music, output filenames or metadata and maybe more. Filtering should be possible based on all fields, including simple searches like "end" (like the current p, but on more fields) and complex logic (with potential abbreviations) like "folder=evan|nkin_pa&(!lyrics|q<=2)" (all tracks by Evanescence and Linkin Park that either have no lyrics or are at least of quality a2).

With these meta files, I could get rid of the duplication in my music collection.

Tracks that are currently in the folder "a0" should get a special tag that excludes them from randomised playback by default. Maybe this should also be cached, so that it's not necessary to read and parse all meta files for every standard playback of my music collection.

Potentially useful for automation: storing duration in meta files, either like "1m23s" or like "83"

After checking all options, I think these are the best components for also using this system on my phone:

start media with Tasker's "open file" action
detect media end with Tasker's "media track changed"→"not playing" trigger
interface between Tasker and Termux with the plugin or am broadcast -a testabc -e lalala foo (Same for MacroDroid, if useful. MacroDroid↔Tasker is easy anyway.)

Implementing everything again in Tasker would be tedious and would duplicate literally 100% of the code, so using most of the same Bash script in Termux is preferable.

Two more useful fields: license (free to use for me in videos and streams) and notes (free text)

lyrics language

Creating shortcuts to playlists is possible from within VLC, but those seem inaccessible from MacroDroid.

Later improvements:

general rules for custom randomisation, e.g. no a4 directly after a1
live adjustments to custom randomisation, e.g. decrease probability of tracks with tag X if a track with tag X was skipped, maybe previous probability multiplied with occurrence of tag in collection, eventual decay
viewable list with previous and next tracks
ability to choose next few tracks live

alarm?

Fabian42 commented 1 year ago

if started with tag, count skips and suggest tag changes
