// MusicDB is a private project of mine.
// Basically, a SBC is hooked up to some speakers.
// It has a database of my songs and can play them.
// It can be controlled through HTTP requests, such as
//   p- to stop
//   p+ to play
//   qi to get the queue index / playback position
//   l to list all the songs
//   ql or qL to list the queue
//   ...
// this mers program should work as a very simple gui to remotely control
// the playback of songs. It should be able to add/remove songs to/from the queue,
// to start/stop playback, and to display some information about the current song.

// the url used to connect to the SBC and use the HTTP api
api_url = "http:\//192.168.2.103:26315/api/raw?"
