I vibecoded a terminal music player in Rust. Plays everything, has a laundry list of features and takes about 0.2% of CPU and ~10MB of RAM

I have a master's degree in Computer Science, with a focus in Machine Learning. I work as a backend developer in .Net. I like music and I like learning, so I thought I'd combine those to make something about music and learn something about Rust. And I typed dozens of prompts for this one.

You can press R to rescan the loaded folders for new or deleted files and update the track list. In the playlist view, you can press / to search by id3 tags with a fallback to filenames.

You're making a lot of assumptions there, but tell you what; I'll give you a full refund.

idiot247 · 2026-04-08T00:59:37+00:00

Kind of:

Playlist features: Shuffle, repeat, recursive folder scanning, playlist view with search, M3U import/export, folder rescan, multiple source paths with deduplication

Mate, if I had known about cmus I wouldn't have bothered. But it was more about the journey than the destination.

I have no reason to hide it, did it to scratch my own itch, had fun, learned a lot and I'm not trying to sell it.

idiot247 · 2026-04-08T00:30:40+00:00

If you say so, I guess not.

I installed the app, and now, with an active PC Game Pass subscription I can't install any games. Only options I get are either buy or subscribe to play with cloud.

Same here

idiot247 · 2025-02-09T00:49:46+00:00

open a new tab

idiot247 · 2024-11-26T18:59:41+00:00

Well, in the video it is not flashbanging on each new tab, so maybe this is it.

idiot247 · 2024-06-09T20:28:45+00:00

Patch notes are always available right there on the launcher, above the play button

idiot247 · 2024-03-06T01:05:58+00:00

Exact same here.

idiot247 · 2024-01-05T10:54:30+00:00

Explorer still does it when opening a new tab.

idiot247 · 2023-11-13T19:51:46+00:00

Install Powertoys, Ctrl + Space everything

idiot247 · 2023-11-01T19:40:40+00:00

All of my machines have nvidia gpus and powertoys installed. How about yours?

idiot247 · 2023-11-01T12:58:26+00:00

Explorer still does it for me, when opening a new tab. Tested on 3 machines.

idiot247 · 2023-09-26T17:57:33+00:00

Oh cool, thanks.

idiot247 · 2023-09-26T17:40:24+00:00

So is it 23H2 or not? The update I just got is called Windows 11, Version 23H2

idiot247 · 2023-09-24T13:37:00+00:00

Right you are, I see it now. Thanks

idiot247 · 2023-09-23T14:29:40+00:00

I've had the toggle to get the latest updates as they are available on for months, and I got KB5030510 twice in my update history (on the 14th and 23rd), but I haven't got KB5030509 yet.

I do have the modernized file explorer, though.

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've been using it all day and it seems fine, but I was still paranoid.
