FloppyMidiPlayer

Scans your Floppy drive and plays the Midi files existing on it (Originally was created for the Raspberry Pie)

Main Features

• Plays automatically, no need to do anything, just run the jar file and use the keyboard controls
• As simple as it gets
• Supports Jre11 and up in order to be played even on Raspberry pies
• Simple controls
  • Use the left/right arrow keys to jump forward +-5 seconds
  • Use the up/down arrow keys to jump to next/previous midi file
  • Use the spacebar to pause the current Midi file
  • Use ESC in order to shutdown the player
• Supports swapping of the diskette while playing in order to play midi files from the new diskette
• Uses the excellent midi4j library

Note

In order to capture the keyboard controls, a JFrame is created and captures keyboard controls
This was done as a hack as there is no simple way of capturing single key keyboard I/O in Java!

Scanner captures only full lines
Console doesn't work on the IDE JLine is a too-big-library for such a task and is way too complicated for this simple task.
