A web player with a vote based playlist

PlayMyWay is a web player aimed at providing a fully flexible and dynamic playlist ordering based on user voting. It would allow the users to become part of a more exciting and active Dance Floor experience rather than being the classic, passive audience stepping to the beat of a single DJ. PlayMyWay allows you to become the DJ and the Dancer at the same time! Just connect to the app via Web or LAN and start voting the songs on the Playlist.

Installation

1. Clone the repo using git clone
2. Navigate into the project folder using cd playmyway
3. Run an npm install to get the dependencies

Note: Debian/Ubuntu users would need to install ALSA headers if not already installed: sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

Configuration

All configurations could be made in PlayerConfig file

1. Change the PATH to point to the songs directory
2. Set credentials for admin

Usage

1. Run mongod to start mongodb service
2. Run npm start to run the app (default port is localhost:8080)

This will get PlayMyWay running in your localhost. To expose it to other users you may use a tunnelling service like ngrok.

ex: ngrok 8080

Then users can access your playlist by visiting www.RANDOM_STRING.ngrok.com

Road Map

• Give an option to stream music to users device
• Write an installation script to get everything installed and running
