Concertmaster – Classical music front-end for Spotify

I fixed the loading screen bug like this:

    sudo pacman -S asar
    cd Concertmaster/resources
    asar e app.asar app
    rm app.asar
    printf "1018a1019\n>                                 var listul = '';\n" | patch app/js/lib.js

I was able to start playing something, but then it freezes. Currently looking into that...

Ooh! That works for me (so far). Thank you. This is a very nice UI, I'll have to explore it more. I especially like the play timeline for the whole piece with movements as subdivisions.

Only complaints so far: the horizontal scrollbar is a bit thin and hard to grab; and, er, when I click the yellow button at top right (of the three Mac-style blobs) the window disappears entirely without leaving any way I can find (under Gnome) to get it back again.

Terrific work though.

Fun to see other people looking into my code. Great job :)

Concertmaster is built over Electron and, as such, it is 100% JavaScript. In fact, it's not a more convenient website only because of Spotify's limitations.

It would be possible to make Concertmaster open source, but it's far from professional - it's more like a hobby I'm keeping for 3, 4 years.

(Concertmaster is more than the client. It has several server-side functions as well.)

Don't worry about code quality, it's perfectly readable. Although I only have very limited javascript knowledge, I would love to contribute if you make this open source. It's really a great project!

After a few seconds, it still freezes for me, so that's one thing I could try to fix :)

I use Concertmaster all the time on my Mac, with no problems at all. Which OS are you running?

I'm running Arch Linux with spotify version 1.0.67.582.g19436fa3. It gets stuck at this screen as soon as I start playing something:

After that, the GUI elements just don't respond at all. There is no CPU usage, so it's probably not an infinite loop.

I enabled logging, but don't see anything significant.
