[CYCho]

These are the hotkeys that control this no-UI music player:

Ctrl+Alt+c      Change folder
Ctrl+Alt+f      Open/Close file properties window
Ctrl+Alt+h      Open/Close help message window
Ctrl+Alt+l      Open/Close playlist
Ctrl+Alt+m      Mute/Unmute audio volume
Ctrl+Alt+p      Pause/Resume playback
Ctrl+Alt+r      Repeat mode On/Off
Ctrl+Alt+s      Shuffle/Sort playlist
Ctrl+Alt+Left   Play previous file
Ctrl+Alt+Right  Play next file
Ctrl+Alt+Up     Increase volume
Ctrl+Alt+Down   Decrease volume
Ctrl+Alt+End    Exit program

Come to think of it, I spend many hours in front of a computer doing something. It has been my habit to play music in the background.  As I'm not an audiophile with discerning ears, my zPlayer has been enough for my listening needs. Even though zPlayer has substantial UIs, I rarely use them once I load a folder of my liking except when changing the folder.

So I came up with this No UI Music Player. It basically runs with no UI. However, the user can bring up a playlist window or a file properties window once in while if they are urged to see something on the screen, If these windows are kept open, their contents are updated as necessary.

In the playlist window, the user can search the playlist for strings like "beeth 9" to go to Beethoven's Symphony 9, for example, and double-click it to play it.

In the file properties window, the user can see the essential file information such as file type, bitrate and total length. The current playback position is updated in 0:00:00 format every second. The properties window also shows whether repeat mode is on or off.

I hope this can be of use to someone.
