Hi all -- I'm fairly new to Pi, and not really a coder (I'm not afraid of SSH or a command line, and willing to learn, but have found over time that I just don't have a 'coder brain').
I'd like to find a way to get an audio player on a Pi that:
- Generally runs headless except requiring play commands, see below
- Seeks MP3s contained in a huge folder of MP3s on a local NAS (Music folder > Artist subfolders > Album folders)
- Plays random tracks using [genre]; ideally a GUI or just command line where I can say "play rock" or "play jazz" or "play dance"
- Then, a regular inervals (say every 10 tracks) will play a "station ID" that I've added in the same genre (so if it's playing "jazz"), play a track from the "Station IDs" folder with the genre "jazz", or play a track with both the "station id" and "jazz" tags, whichever is more elegant)
- Ideally, I'd be able to see what track is playing, peeking in through SSH or Remote Desktop or something, but that's just nice to have.
All of the above seems pretty normal except the "every X tracks seek a station ID in the same genre" component. I don't know enough about coding to know if this is an easy thing to accomplish, or more complex than I'm envisioning for some reason.
