App: Noob Music
Developer: Sigurdur Tomasson
Genres: Music, Entertainment

You can assign color-tags to each song in your library and shuffle grouped by tags so that you get a consistent "rainbow" spectrum of songs when you shuffle. For avid music listeners this feature is really useful, because organizing playlists can be time consuming. With the tag shuffle you get a playlist you can listen to without having to rearrange it after shuffling.

Noob Music also lets you shuffle without tag-shuffling if you have not assigned tags to your songs or you just want a totally random playlist. Noob Music uses NumRand a random number generator based on chaotic motion for the best random result. Because the randomisation method is complex it takes some time to shuffle large playlists.

Noob Music requires you to have all your music inside the Music folder of your home folder, in a sub folder or the root of the directory. You must choose the folder in the Settings section. And then index the folder. Music information is read from song files when you play each song and saved to the your library. Songs that don't contain information can be edited manually. Noob Music lets you create playlists and drag and drop songs to your playlist you can also drag and drop a playlist onto another playlist.

Noob Music supports mp3, m4a, wav, flac and aif.

The search bar supports query strings with specific columns for example type: plays:0;rating>4; to search for songs with zero plays and rating equal or greater than four. Make sure you delimit each column with a semicolon and each column value pair with a colon. Another example: title:interlude;date_added 

Column names for search are: title, artist, album, year, track, genre, length (length must be inputted as seconds only, for example 2:01 is 121 seconds.), plays, last_played, date_added, tags, rating. Type numeric value of tag for searching for a specific tag. You can also search by relative_filepath.

To save a search, click the button right next to the search field, this will also display saved searches, click the button again to hide saved searches. To delete a saved search: double click on a saved search. Click on a saved search to deploy that search.

You can change the theme of the application in settings.

You can customise the tag-shuffle by command-clicking on the tag shuffle button and there you can create your own shuffle-template by adding tags and ordering them in the desired ordering for the resulting playlist.
