New Acoustics Media Player for ACM@UIUC.

First, install MySQL locally and start it. Create a database for Acoustics.

Set up a virtual Python environment for this project.

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Then install all the Python dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Initialize the database.

python beats/db.py

Add songs. From the Python interpreter (in the beats directory):

import song
song.add_songs_in_dir('/path/to/music')

Finally, create an beats.cfg file from beats.cfg.sample and customize it.

Now you're ready to start the Acoustics server.

python beats/main.py
