The SoftThorn.Monstercat.Browser app (or SMB app for short) is my approach for downloading music from [monstercat](https://www.monstercat.com/) in a convenient way. It is also my playground for trying our different XAML frontends in my spare time.

## Features

- Browse the latest tracks and releases from [monstercat](https://www.monstercat.com/)

- Download any/all of their music to your local device (You need an active Gold Subscription for that!)

- Settings

  - Download locations

  - Download file format

  - Dashboard configuration

  - filter/ignore tags

  - edit monstercat credentials

### Planned

- Settings Storage (persist configuration between app restarts)

  - color selection?

  - Enable AssetSize Configuration (Download the art in the format and size you like)

- AutoUpdate via Github releases

- Playlist (manage playback via playlists)

  - Playbackmode (shuffle, one, all, folder)

### ToDo

- add Previous button for going back to the previous track

- remember playback volume level

- figure out how to show playback progress with NAudio

- auto updates

- sign my binaries

## Build Requirements

This app uses SDK-style project files, which means you are required to use [Visual Studio 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/) or newer. Visual Studio will prompt you to install any missing components once you open the [sln](./SoftThorn.Monstercat.Browser.sln) file.

For anyone not wishing to install that, they atleast need:

- Windows 10 (older versions work probably too, but the repository is not configured for those)

- [Net 6.0](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/6.0)

- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the [C# Extension](https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode) provided by Microsoft

- [git](https://git-scm.com/)
