I was sick of the ad-hoc ephemerality of my music collection. I loved the simple sturdiness of plain-text, emacs and org-mode. Who wants to lose songs, playlists and discover the latest in clunky search interfaces when you can flow in plaintext with emacs and org-mode forever?

It has been in non-continuous development for way longer than I’d care to admit (or remember). It’s been my primary music library since 2014 and primary music player since 2018.

It started of as a soft-linked ghost replica of my then music library. I’d click the file, that’d call a shell script, that’d search on Duckduckgo for a Youtube url of the clicked filename, that VLC would then stream from Youtube! The setup has become a bit more civilized since then.
