// Executive Summary

Built music player CLI in one day specifically to get hands-on experience with command-line interfaces before applying to Anthropic Claude Code. Ended up solving real problems with my music workflow - goes beyond simple ratings to track listening context and mood patterns. Designed database schema for future AI analysis of music taste evolution over time.

// Architecture Deep Dive

Single-Day CLI Build

Python 3.12 with MPV integration for cross-platform audio playback. SQLite database stores contextual listening data beyond traditional 5-star ratings. TOML configuration files keep settings simple and readable.

Context Tracking System

Records when/where/why I'm listening to specific songs - data structure designed for future machine learning on music preferences.

Modular Design

Separate modules for player control, library management, and database operations. Built for extensibility even though it was a rapid prototype.
