About

Musik is a tiny music player for Playdate.

I made this because as of now, there are no public Playdate music players (except for Audition, but it is not built to be a music player).

Controls

When in the "files" screen:

  •  Up/Down - controls the file selection cursor
  • Right/Left - skip +4 or -4 in the file list
  • A - play song / enter folder
  • B - up folder

When in the "now playing" screen:

  • A - play / pause song
  • B - exit to files screen
  • Right/Left - seek forward / backward 5 seconds (this works best when the song is paused)
  • Up/Down - skip to previous/next song NOTE: skipping to the next song has a chance of causing your playdate to crash, check the GitHub readme for more information.

In the system menu, there is an options menu item titled "mode". This controls the current playing mode. The options are:

  • none - plays the song then stops
  • shuffle - plays a random song in the current folder
  • loop folder - plays all of the songs in the folder, then loops back to the top and continues
  • loop one - loops one song
Settings

Other settings can be accessed via the "settings" menu item. Here you will find various settings such as toggling dark mode and the 24 hour clock.

  • Up/Down - select setting
  • A - toggle setting
  • B - return to last screen
How do I get this onto my Playdate?
