Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Svunes report metrics or track anaylitics? No, everything stays on your device. The only tracking the app does is when songs have been played (for the History feature). This can be disabled in settings if you don't like it.

Q: It says this is an offline music player, why does it need wifi for some features? The Album Info and Cover lookup require internet by nature, and are useful when trying to edit albums/songs.

Q: Where are log files stored? The location is different for each platform, but in general:

• Windows: C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/AppData/Local/dev.travislane.svunes/logs/
• Linux: /home/USER/.config/dev.travislane.svunes/logs/

Building Svunes

Please note: you may edit and distrubute this program as you see fit but you must retain the license and the copyright notice I included (feel free to mark your contributions as I have).

Setting Up the Enviroment

I used the Tauri framework for the program, so you will need to to setup your enviroment as specified here. Additionally, you need a Node.js installation, as well as bun.

Cloning the Program

The next step is to get a local copy of the repository. This can be done many ways, I recommend forking this repository and cloning that.

IMPORTANT:
If you make changes you are not allowed to redistribute the application with me labeled as the developer. Please remember to change the author information in the package.json and the related copyright information in src-tauri/tauri.config.json file. You should also update the copyright notice in src/windows/main/Main.svelte.

Installing Dependencies

Once you have cloned the repository and opened it in your preffered Editor/IDE (I recommend VSCode), you will need to install the program's dependencies. To do this, you will need to run two commands:
First:

bun install

Next:

cd src-tauri
cargo install

Running the Application

Now you are finally ready to get the app up and running! Assuming everything is set up correctly, all you need to do is run:

bun tauri dev

Building With Your Changes

Once you have made your edits and are ready to share it with the world, run the following command:

bun run tauri build

This will generate a .msi file in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/app_name.msi. And there you go, you've got a distributeable installer!
