Listening to Special Music Website Songs on Linux

Some time ago, someone asked how to listen to the songs from the school’s Ya Cool Music (http://music.cau.edu.cn/). At the time, I proposed an idea, but due to preparations for various exams, I didn’t have time to work on it. Today, I took some time to analyze it and wrote a small script, successfully implementing the ability to listen to Ya Cool Music songs on Linux. Currently, this is only the first version, and I haven’t created a GUI. Many practical functions, such as playlists, have not been implemented yet. I’ll refine it further when I have more time.

Usage:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory. Run:

python musiccau.py

After running the command, you will see the prompt:

ADDRESS:

At this point, go to http://music.cau.edu.cn/

2. Select the song you want to listen to, right-click on the song address, and choose “Copy link address”

3. Then paste the link address into the terminal (right-click in the terminal and choose “Paste” or press Ctrl+Shift+V)

Note: The pasted address should be in the format:

javascript:PlayIt(‘Yxplay.php?id=105662&s=d2240beae555b76b79661f8cb999a1bf’);

and not:

http://music.cau.edu.cn/Yxplay.php?id=103714&s=d2240beae555b76b79661f8cb999a1bf

4. Press Enter to confirm

Supplement:

By default, it uses Firefox to open the MP3 music. Please ensure that your Firefox has the corresponding plugin enabled (such as the mplayer plug-in, installation address: http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/index.php). You can also modify the info file to use other MP3 players or browsers, such as:

smplayer opera

Note: This is the first version, and the functionality is not yet complete. Please be patient. If you have any questions or suggestions, please post on wusetu’s Linux version or contact quake’a#t’vip.qq.com. Lately, I’ve been busy with various things, so if your questions and suggestions don’t receive timely responses or processing, please be patient.
