MusicDown

MusicDown is a mobile app allowing you to listen to and download MP3 files from your own server on your mobile phone.
It only works with MP3 files having a title and artist tags (ID3).

How to use the "MusicDown" app with the server ?

1. Download MusicDown from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
2. Download the server script here.
   Your server must have Python 3 installed with the requirements specified in the "requirements.txt" file.
3. Change the content of the "password.txt" file with your own password.
4. Place all your MP3 files in the "music" folder.
5. Run the Python script called "main.py" on your server.
   You can change the server port by editing the script and replacing the port specified at the bottom of the file before running the script if needed.
6. Open the MusicDown app on your phone.
7. Set the server URL (i.e. your server IP address), and type the password you set. Then press "Ok".
8. Each time you add new MP3 files on the server, press the "Reload server" button in the app.
9. You can now use MusicDown and enjoy your audio files.
