This repository contains the source code and related files of my final project for the Programming Lab 2 course. The project is a console-based music player system that allows users to select a music genre and receive a randomly generated playlist based on their selection. The main objective of this project was to apply advanced programming concepts, such as file handling, data structuring with structs, queue-based logic, and input validations to simulate the experience of a basic yet functional music player.
- Build a complete music player simulator from scratch.
- Practice file input/output for data persistence.
- Implement queue logic for ordered playlist playback.
- Use structs for clean data modeling and modular programming.
- Apply solid input validation to enhance user experience.
- Advanced Array Manipulation: Stores and retrieves albums and songs from .txt files. Playlists are dynamically built from these files based on user input.
- Struct-based Organization: Models genres, albums, and songs using structs, ensuring clean and modular code.
- Queue Implementation: A custom queue structure is used to manage playlist order and simulate realistic playback behavior.
- Robust Input Validation: Avoids duplicate genre selections and ensures that all inputs follow expected formats and constraints.
- Random Playlist Generator: Automatically creates a random playlist based on the chosen genre for a more dynamic experience.
- Intermediate to advanced programming in C/C++
- Understanding and implementing file operations
- Mastery of custom data structures like queues
- Clean and efficient use of structs for data management
- Better grasp of terminal-based user interface logic

This music player was developed individually as part of my final project for the Programming Lab 2 course. It helped me reinforce my understanding of file systems, data structures, and user interaction in C/C++. It’s a great foundation for future music-related or queue-based systems I might build.
