#  .jukerc:  jukebox configuration file.
#  Place this in $HOME/.jukerc

#  First and foremost, the song directory.
#  Where are all your songs kept.
#  We assume a one level hierarchy.
#  The song directory holds subdirectories corresponding to your categories,
#  such as country, pop, classical.
#  These subdirectories then hold the mp3 files.
songdir = /songs

#  Each subdirectory is given a one letter code.
#  Thus if you specify c on the command line, country songs will be played.
c = country
o = oldy  # by sound, not necessarily its age.
y = comedy  # Tom Lehrer
h = chamber  # concertos too - mild classical.
s = symphonies  # classical, but somewhat more bombastic.
r = religious
b = barbershop
m = musicals  # any famous song from a movie or tv show.
i = international  # usually in other languages.
j = jazz  # also includes swing etc.
1 = pop1  # mellow, like John Denver and Carpenters.
2 = pop2  # soft rock, like Dan Fogelberg and the Eagles.
3 = pop3  # a few more horns and guitars, like Chicago and Billy Jole.
4 = pop4  # harder rock, like Rush and Queen.
5 = pop5  # way out there, like ACDC.

#  Run jukebox m234 to hear songs at random,
#  drawn from musicals or from the 3 moderate pop categories.
#  We remember the songs recently played, and don't play them again.
#  (This is better than shuffle play on most CD players.)
#  In fact we try to mix up artists and categories.

#  I assume filenames are of the form artist-xxx[+-].mp3, where xxx
#  can be anything you like.
#  The first three tracks from Chicago's greatest hits might be named:
#  chicago-gh-1.mp3
#  chicago-gh-2.mp3
#  chicago-gh-3.mp3
#  On my system, these are in /songs/pop3.
#  The artist field, before the hyphen, helps me mix up the artists.
#  A final hyphen before the .mp3 supresses that file.
#  You may want a song, to complete an album, but you might not want
#  it played by the jukebox.
#  Conversely, a plus sign means the song is a hit, at least in your mind.
#  you want to hear it more often than the others.
#  If you really like that first Chicago song, call it chicago-gh-1+.mp3

#  A weighting of 2 or 3 is generally recommended.
#  Thus hits are played more often than other songs.
#  You can set the weighting here.
hits = 2

#  You can add plus signs to categories on the command line,
#  which makes those songs appear more often.
#  jukebox m2+3+4  emphasizes soft rock over musicals and the hard stuff.

#  jukebox m234 17
#  prints the first 17 songs that would be played.
#  You can use this to debug the program,
#  or to generate a list of songs to record on tape or cd,
#  for travel or parties or whatever.

#  You can specify the mp3 player here.
#  I use mpg123, which is present in most Linux distributions.
player = mpg123 -q

#  You can also use formats other than mp3.  Specify the extension here.
songext = mp3
