Browse & play embedded tracks from Angry Metal Guy music reviews

Project description

Latest Version Tests Status Coverage Supported Python versions License

Angry Metal Guy Player (AMG Player) is a Python multi platform console tool to automatically play tracks from Angry Metal Guy reviews.

I created this because:

  • I like Angry Metal Guy, and discovered great music (both metal and totally non-metal) thanks to their reviews

  • I often disagree with their ratings (in fact I disagree more often than I agree), both for overrating and underrating

  • Even when I disagree, I like reading their reviews

  • I want to listen to the music before I read the review, to avoid getting influenced

  • To be efficient, I want to listen to the tracks like a radio, and read the review to learn more only when I like something

Features

  • Can work either in interactive mode (manually select tracks) or totally automatic (play new tracks like a radio)

  • Supports embedded tracks from: YouTube, Bandcamp, SoundCloud

  • Play YouTube video if available, or generate a video on the fly with the cover image + audio track(s) (requires FFMpeg or Libav)
