mmp is an easy music folder or files playing concept music player so that you only have to select a folder which contains some mmp compatible music file(s) to play it content, or comptable music files.

After listing the folder content or file(s) and searching for an cover image to display ; mmp will give you full access to the music folder content or file(s) and display the album cover image if found.

A cover image in form of a compatible image file (filetypes: *.jpg, *.jpe, *.jpeg, *.png, *.bmp, *.dib, or *.tif, *.tiff) resized to mmp 3 differents, free choosable, fixed interface sizes (little, middle, big sizes).

Then mmp play the folder content or the selected music files in lexicographic sorted order (so as your O.S present you the files) or in shuffle mode.

• Play files, to play the selected file instead of an entire folder.

mmp provide nothing else features:

• No music library indexing feature.
• No database connection for cover images downloading or any indexing.

So mmp stay as simple as possible: as a simple play files or a folder content, with no internet connection required anyway, only your music folder and mmp.

This is because i implement it at start only for personnal usage so it´s a personnal requirement builded program,

but finally i decide to distribute it because mmp is so easy, as in the concept as the short source code, so that you can use it like this or modify it, in the way you want, according to the terms of the GPLv3 license.

has totally change the audio engine and the images management:

Instead of using the SDL2_mixer library it use the libvlc library (with which the famous media player vlc is build).

The opencv-3.0.0 library is no more needed. mmp uses gtk+-3.0 for the cover images resizing.

Nothing change for the user except that the program will never more crashing due of my missuse of the SDL2_mixer library.

Introduce some few new usefull concept.

mmp use some few metadatas from the files with fallback if not found for:

1. Formatting the displaying to the user of the current playing music file, in following manner:

N° of track Artist - Title Duration

2. Getting the duration of the music file what permit:

• To display the duration of the music file to the user.
• Provide a timeline bar which you can drag the slider to change the current position in the track.

3. Displaying a timeline bar.
4. Getting the correct cover image.

Because in version below 2.1 it could append that mmp display the back face of the a cover image or any other image.

note

It can still append but very much least as before: per example if mmp cannot access the metadata, but not necessarily in this case (because of fallback success).

Thanks to my beloved mother, my family and to the doctors.

Stay away from drugs: drugs destroy your brain and your life.

Thanks to my uncle too, who let free usage of his Mac O.S, for the development of mmp version 1.0,

during my holydays where i write this lines from...

By the way Mac O.S seems to me a little bit strange the first times but i think it’s good stuff finally.

I think that Mac compile right with his C++ compiler but not verbose enough about errors. The Mac terminal is near enough from the Linux terminal, so that i could work...

The strange is that there is no Mac version of mmp available due of the lack of time and the fact that i get no Mac packaging knowledge.

Micro Music Player a very simple play a folder or a file music player.
