revengeMusic

(REVerseENGineerMUSIC) Written in C++

The aim of this project was to create a music program that would be safe to run from the command line on windows or linux. The user should be able to play a single track, file, playlist with key shortcuts or write a GUI program of their own to run it without running into the problems that other command line music programs run into when this is attempted.
