Mousiki

A command-line pandora client. Inspired by PromyLOPh/pianobar.

Installation

Right now you have to build from source. See Building.

Mousiki relies on FFmpeg for audio transcoding. Install it from your package manager or from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html.

Usage

Start mousiki with the --username parameter, you will be prompted for your password:

$ mousiki --username somebody@gmail.com
Password:

Transport Controls

mousiki currently supports the following controls:

Key	Action
N	Skip to the next track (or fetch more tracks if the queue is empty
E	Explain why pandora picked the currently playing track
<space>	Pause / Resume playback
+	Love Song
-	Ban Song
t	Tired of Song
esc	Station Picker
Q / Ctrl+C	Quit

TODO

In no particular order:

• Publish binaries to GitHub
• Feedback Management (Thumbs Up/Down tracks) for recently played tracks
• Skip ads / artist messages automatically
• Audio quality selection / Support for premium qualities

Maybe some day:

• FFmpeg streaming. Right now we have to transcode the entire track before github.com/faiface/beep/wav will even consider playing it
• OSC / HTTP API for controlling playback / running a playback server / writing custom frontends

Building

You need Go 1.16+.

See .github/workflows/ci.yaml for a rough idea of what to install.

# Linux / Unix / macOS
go build -o mousiki main.go

# Windows
go build -o mousiki.exe main.go
