With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>
<p><code>/home/randy/music/Beyonce/Lemonade/</code></p>

<p>Finally, disclaimer: I am a bash amateur so I hope nothing you&rsquo;ve seen here was too upsetting. Lots of love x</p>
