 # Croaker
-A command-and-control web application for icecast / liquidaudio, with helpers for D&D session music.
+
+Croaker is a Linux desktop audio player controlled from a TCP server. It is designed specifically to play background music during TTRPG sessions.
+
+### Features
+
+* Audio playback using VLC
+* Playlists are built using symlinks
+* Randomizes playlist order the first time it is cached
+* Always plays `_theme.mp3` first upon switching to a playlist, if it exists
+* Controlled by issuing commands over a TCP socket
+
+### Requirements
+
+* A functioning shoutcast / icecast server
+* Python >= 3.11
+* python3.11-dev
+
 
 ## What? Why?
 
-Because I run an online D&D game, which includes a background music stream for my players. The stream is controlled by a bunch of bash scripts I cobbled together which are functional but brittle. Also, this currently requires me to have a terminal window open to my media server to control liquidsoap directly, and I'd rather integrate the music controls directly with the rest of my DM tools, all of which run on my laptop. A web-based commmand-and-control app lets me use vanilla HTTP requests to control liquidsoap.
+I run an online D&D game. For years I have provided my players with an internet radio station playing the session background music. The first version was built using liquidsoap and icecast. The second version replaced liquidsoap with a custom streamer implementation (which is still available on the `shoutcast` branch, warts and all).
+
+Both of these solutions were functional but high maintenance, and I wanted something simpler both for me and my players.
+
+This version of Croaker usees VLC (via python-vlc) to play audio locally, and pops up a read-only desktop interface to display what is playing. I share this app using screen sharing during our online games, and control it using my DM tools.
