This is my first Go program, I wanted to listen to Google Play Music on console,
so I wrote a player. It is inspired by Matt Jibson's Moggio and uses one of
his libraries. You can see it in action if you follow this link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3651269/out-2.ogv
The features it has are:
- Last.fm scrobbling (use -lastfm flag)
- populating a local database with the artists and albums you saved through the
web interface (or by any other means)
- searching within artists in the database
- playing, pausing (buggy, I need help with it) , stopping, previous track, next
track
- the interface is Cmus rip off, I've only added a progress bar
- this player no longer lists artists in random order - if you want to randomize
them press R
If you use 2-factor authorisation with your Google account, you will have to
generate an app password, follow this link

The linux binary I release is not static, it depends on pulseaudio, if you want
to build it from source, you are going to need the pulseaudio development package
installed.
Windows users are all set
If you have an x86 system, you'll have to compile it yourself, sorry
Contributions are welcome!
The keybindins are mostly the same as in Cmus:

(next track, pause, etc)
