This was an academic project during my programming studies, looking back there are a few things I would do differently however i've decided to upload this project as is so I can chart my progress.

Key Features

• Plays music

  • All the essential controls you'd expect from a music player are implemented, namely play, stop, pause, mute, previous or next track, repeat, volume control, and more.
  • This functionality uses the MediaPlayer javaFX class to implement all music control features.

• Collects file metaData

  • Available music metadata is presented in the app within collapsible menus, this includes album art if available.

• "Drag & Drop" music drag system

  • This system simplifies adding new songs to a players playlist, a simple file drag retains and saves the filepath to the database.

• Remembers previously saved music and playlists

  • This project uses SQL server to store basic user information and individual playlists.
  • Upon login, if any playlists have been created by that specific user, they will be automatically loaded.

• Simple account creation and authentication system

  • Each user will need to create an account before first using the application.
  • System validates information before creating new users, no duplicate users with the same name are allowed, passwords must match, etc.

• Music / Playlist removal

  • The app allows the user to remove specific songs or whole playlists at the click of a button.
  • A confirmation menu will ask the user if he truly wishes to proceed.

User Flow

• A user begins by creating a new account if he hasnt already, he then proceeds to login with this information.
• Upon login, if the user has previously created playlists, those playlists will be automatically loaded.
• Otherwise, a user will first need to create and name a playlist by clicking the appropriate buttons.
• Next he simply needs to drag and drop any music files to the music board.
• At this point, click any desired music to automatically start playing it.
• Available metadata such as album cover art, music genre, music name will be loaded into collapsible menus so the user can consult them at his leisure.
• Click any of the music control options at any time, such as volume control, backtrack or fastforward in the song, mute, next or previous song, repeat and more.
