• Use the package manager pip to install all the Required Modules.

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Required Audio PostProcessors

• FFMPEG AND FFPROBE ( just download the EXE's from the given link and extract them in "src/backend/Download_process/" before starting the application)
• Or refer to IMPORTANT.md

The Purpose

The purpose of this project really was to create an application that used a song-name/title or any Youtube URL as an input and downloads a MP3 copy of the desired user input, it then works as a Normal Audio player and basically plays the downloaded Audio, contrary to popular belief of streaming Music instead.

Technologies

• Python (basically to create everything init)
• Audio PostProcessors (Audio files conversions)
• GitHub (Proejct and Issues)

Significant Changes

This project required me to utilize many different aspects of what I learned so far in the last 2 Months. I incorporated Modules like yt-dlp and pygame to assist in Downloading Audio Files and Playing them respectively. Instead of traditional Object-oriented way of Programming in tkinter (using CLASSES etc) , i tried to make things as simple as Possible.

Challenges

• There were significant challenges on this project that had a lot to do with traversing the unknown. Firstly, after i decided NOT to use the Object-oriented Programming approach for the GUI. For a while i was left Confused, because it was not one single gui i was working with, it was a group of many Nested GUI's combined together. though after waiting for someone to answer my questions on stackoverflow (which no one did to this date). I started figuring it out in my Way, Hopefully i was Able to Link all the GUI's with each other. (probably after creating a lot of mess in the code)
• Once i completed the GUI, the second problem which i was encountering was that the audio file downloaded using yt-dlp wasn't really an audio file, so i had to Convert the Downloaded File into a .mp3 using PostProcessors Such as : FFMPEG/FFPROBE , so that they become playable with pygame.
• There were plently Other challenges which i also faced while Making this, but i'll keep them for some other day.

Things To Consider

The Directory's are a little Messed up, so in order to Run the Application smoothly, please Follow the Steps below.

• After Cloning, your folder should look something like Codtubify-main
• open the main folder and run Command Prompt in that location
• Now in Command Prompt Give the Following Command : python src/app.py
