A functional music player for FLAC, mp3, and m4a audio. This was a project to do while on "recharge" at Facebook: because I'm a manager I like to have something to 'scratch the coding itch'. It's built with TypeScript, Electron, React, and Recoil. I continue to add little fit & finish things when I'm either bored or irritated about something wrong.

# EMP: Electron Music Player

> A little Hat Tip to us older Seattleites ;)

### Because macOS iTunes, er, "Music" doesn't play flac files

I'm old. I have a whole lot of music that I purchased on CD's over the past

many, many years. I like having high quality music playable from the computer

I'm working on. When that computer was a Windows PC, the incredibly ancient

Windows Media Player would play Flac, as would "Groove Music" I imagine (and

anything else probably, because of the pluggable (and highly overarchitected)

nature of audio/video handling in Windows). But I'm on a Mac on a regular basis

these days. Vox is **awful** (I'm not paying a monthly fee for the privilege of

listening to the music I've already purchased, thanks very much) and VLC is a

bad music player (a great video player, but not great for music, IMO)

What's it look like? Kind of like iTunes' ugly stepsister (#notadesigner!), but

here you go:







Releases are [here](https://github.com/kevinfrei/EMP/releases). I pretty

reliably get Mac & Windows releases up. Linux releases seem messier. Snapcraft

something something. I have a Raspi and a couple Ubuntu x86 machines but getting

everything working reliably just hasn't happened :/

## What's the current state?

It pretty much works. There are a few random minor bugs laying around. I mess

with it every month or so. Feel free to use it. Right now, I think I'm the only

user, and that's okay with me :)

## Stuff to do

I moved everything into [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/kevinfrei/EMP/issues)

to make book keeping & tracking easier. Go look there.
