How do I start building a music player that supports flac? I'm

Audio is one of the most fucking annoyingly fickle things to work with in the entire realm of digital media, just giving you a heads up.

as if video is any easier

You want to do something useful? Port MPC-HC's UI to mpv. Make sure to set the keybinds to MPC-HC's defaults while you're at it.

In video there is no digital-analogue interface like in audio.

>>59666460
mpv has a significantly better UI than MPC-HC

Here is an idea, make a foobar2000 like linux/OSX player. At least something that allows you to set library folders and browse trough the actual folder structure to add music to playlist inside the player itself.

>no right-click
Were you writing it for Mac?

>>59666524
that's what I was thinking but how do I start

>>59666548
yes

>>59666397
Import a library.

You make a GUI with something like QT and use libflac for the actual decoding.

When you render a video, you have to draw a new frame about 24 times a second. That's a frame about every 0.042 seconds.

When you output audio, you need to play a sample about 44,100 times a second.

m8 you just submit samples to the hardware in bulk and the hardware takes care of that for you.

>>59666725
literally just this

We need to write everything from scratch though. Reusing other people's code like sound drivers or whatever is like cheating.

>>59667453
Why do you?
Besides, I said the HARDWARE takes care of the timing, not the driver. That would be retarded.

>>59667334
These are the most common frame/sample rates, but you have to be able to handle others in your media player.

The fact that you're saying this indicates you're not ready for this project quite yet.

>using hardware you didn't develop and forge independently

If you want to implement everything by yourself try to make a wav player or another format that is only pcm data with no compresion before starting with ogg or flac.
