Music Player

I love this music player, and it's only about 100 lines of code.

Features :

• Supports lots of music formats, including mp3, flac, ogg, wav.
• Browse my music collection
• Play a single song
• Play an entire album
• Play all albums by an artist
• Play every song I own
• Random play versions of the above
• Pause, Stop, Skip
• Displays the currently playing song in the title bar
• Search for songs/albums/artists
• Logs the songs played to the Output Dock. What was the name of that song?
• Instantly available, without setting up a database.
• New songs that are added to your collection are available and searchable immediately.
• No "wait" times. Everything is instantaneous.

I'm cheating slightly, because Browse isn't part of the music player itself. It just a FolderTab (see above).

Actually playing the songs uses the play command (part of the sox project).

Random play is simple - it pipes the playlist through the shell command sort -R (-R == random).

Pause, resume and skip use the kill command with signals "STOP", "CONT" and "KILL".

Searching for songs/albums/artists uses the Find component. (See below).

IMHO, this is an excellent example of the power of Featureful. You can do a LOT with little effort when all the pieces work together.
