Steps

Create a SQLite database of user's entire music collection (take in a list of directories and recurse all of them.)

Use stagger to extract metadata from the music files.

Use Clink to create a sane command line interface.

Think about how you'll find diff.

Database Schema

Users, Artist, Albums, Songs.

Old Thoughts.md

Similar to what I already have.

Use clink to create a command line experience:

lastfm charts 20            # create a playlist of top 20 songs from charts

lastfm 5 seconds of summer  # playlist of top 10 songs of 5sos

The entire music library will be scanned once and stored in a SQLite database and the tags will be read using stagger.

Use scandir to iterate over directories.

The playlist can then be directly played to a music player of choice.
