CS202 Project: jalmp - just a little music player

Author: 22125113 - Nguyen Quang Truong

This project is a music player that can stream music from a server. It is inspired by Windows Media Player version 11/12. The project is written in C++, uses Qt framework for GUI and jalsock (my C++ wrapper for the C POSIX socket API) for networking.

Features

It currently supports the following features:

• Playing music from a server;
• Basic audio control;
• Displaying music information (title, artist, album, album cover, etc.);
• Displaying lyrics;
• Adjust track positions in the queue;
• ... and more!

Compatibility

As jalsock is built on top of the C POSIX socket API, it is not cross-platform. Therefore, the project is only available on Unix-compliant systems.

However, such compatibility can be achieved by replacing jalsock with Winsock (for Windows) or a cross-platform networking library.

Demonstration

Here is the demonstration on YouTube.
