#Usage
- Install dependencies and acquire API keys
- Create mySQL database with the same arguments as seen in database.py and make a user with permissions. Our version makes "djdb" and user "phatuser" with access by "phat623"
- Run populate.py, being sure to have the same folder names for your music and your pickled files. Our version uses "song_test" for the songs and "tune_pickle" for the pickle files. This will take a while, depending on the size of your music library.
- Run playlist.py, specifying the song folder, the title and artist of the base song, the number of songs to be mixed, and the name of the output file. You can optionally add -eff for vocal additions. NOTE: This program will need a fairly large collection of songs of similar tempos to run well, and be sure that the prompting song you give it is of a good, danceable tempo.
- Enjoy your mix!
