Part 2 – Build a Modern Music Player (PyQt Full Tutorial)

Welcome to Part 2 of our Full PyQt Tutorial series where we will be building a modern music player using PyQt.

Requirements

• Python
• PyQt5
• PyDub
• Pydubplay

Setting up the GUI

First, we need to set up the graphical user interface (GUI) for our music player. We will create a simple window with a few buttons for controlling the playback and a list of songs that can be played.

Code snippet:

		
			<button id="play-button">Play</button>
			<button id="pause-button">Pause</button>
			<button id="stop-button">Stop</button>
			<ul id="song-list">
				<li>Song 1</li>
				<li>Song 2</li>
				<li>Song 3</li>
			</ul>
		
	

Adding Functionality

Next, we will add functionality to our music player. This includes loading the songs, playing, pausing, and stopping the playback, and updating the song list.

Code snippet:

		
			# Define functions for loading songs, playing, pausing and stopping playback

			def load_songs():
			    # Code for loading songs

			def play():
			    # Code for playing the song

			def pause():
			    # Code for pausing the playback

			def stop():
			    # Code for stopping the playback

			# Connect the buttons to their respective functions
			play_button.clicked.connect(play)
			pause_button.clicked.connect(pause)
			stop_button.clicked.connect(stop)
		
	

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now successfully built a modern music player using PyQt. Feel free to customize the player further by adding more features and functionalities.
