Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Generate M3u playlists from your local library using the hashtags contained in the comment or in the genre section in music's metadata

Readme

music-playlist-generator

npm version

Generate M3u playlists from your local library using the hashtags contained in the comment section or in the genre in music's metadata.

This script relies on my library music-metadata-search. It'll scan all audio files and extract their metadata (ID3v1, ID3v2, APE, Vorbis, and iTunes/MP4 tags). Then it gets the hashtags, and creates playlists for all of them.

For instance, let's say your music ./2Pac/2001 - All Eyez on Me/01. Ambitionz az a Ridah.flac contains a comment with #party, it'll generate a M3u file named #party.m3ucontaining a reference to this track:

#EXTM3U
#PLAYLIST:#party

#EXTINF:0,2Pac - Ambitionz az a Ridah
./2Pac/2001 -  All Eyez on Me/01. Ambitionz az a Ridah.flac

Usage

npm install -g music-playlist-generator
music-playlist-generator ~/Music

Why ?

I have a big music library with files of different formats (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, etc..), and I wanted a way to handle dynamic playlists from anywhere (Android, MacOS, Linux). Using this script, I just have to edit the file's metadata, add a hashtag in the comment, and run it.
