# zuke

A music player for Plan 9.

![screenshot](zuke.jpg)

With some stuff one expects from a music player:

 * gapless playback
 * seeking
 * playlists
 * good metadata support
 * basic livestreams support

## Installing

Install [libtags](https://git.sr.ht/~ft/libtags) first.

Clone the repo, do `mk install`.

Zuke comes with two programs.  One is `audio/zuke`, which is the player
itself.  The other one is `audio/mkplist`, it's used to make playlists
that are then fed to `audio/zuke`'s stdin:

```
% audio/mkplist /n/somefs/mymusic /n/otherfs/moremusic http://83.137.145.141:14280 > $home/somefs.plist
% audio/zuke < $home/somefs.plist
```

Of course, one can combine these steps into one:

```
% audio/mkplist /n/music | audio/zuke
```

## Columns to display

Zuke has an optional argument `-c` that specifies which columns to
display, the default is `-c AatD`.

```
A  artist
