This script was made to provide a consistent way to listen to the complete oeuvre of J.S. Bach, as it spans more than a thousand pieces, considered an essential part of the western musical repertoire.
The project has grown and currently supports a few other composers, being possible to import more from Wikipedia or IMLSP pages.
Lists of your past listens are saved inside the listens folder.
To install the script, run ./install.sh gnome and you're done!
(PS: this only works with GNOME, and will always return a piece by Bach!)
If you're not using GNOME, or if you don't want to listen to Bach at every startup (shame on you), you can run it in command line.
To do it, run: ./install.sh
Now you can get your daily dose of counterpoint with: welcomebach
