Part 4 – Build a Modern Music Player (PyQt Full Tutorial)

In this tutorial, we will be building a modern music player using PyQt. PyQt is a set of Python bindings for the Qt application framework and runs on all platforms supported by Qt including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Before we begin, make sure you have PyQt installed on your machine. If not, you can install it using pip:

      pip install pyqt5
    

Now, let’s start by creating the main window for our music player. We’ll use the QMainWindow class from the PyQt library to create the main window and add the necessary widgets such as buttons, sliders, and labels for the music player interface.

Next, we’ll implement the functionality to play, pause, stop, and skip to the next or previous track. We’ll also add a slider to control the volume and display the current playing track information.

Once we have the basic functionality in place, we’ll enhance the user interface by adding custom stylesheets to make the music player look more modern and visually appealing.

Additionally, we’ll implement features such as a playlist to queue up multiple tracks, a search bar to search for tracks, and a draggable progress bar to seek to a specific position within a track.

Finally, we’ll package our music player application into an executable file using pyinstaller so that it can be easily distributed and run on other machines without having to install Python and PyQt.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a modern and fully functional music player built with PyQt that you can use to play your favorite music tracks.

So, stay tuned for the upcoming parts of this tutorial series and let’s build a modern music player together!
