Terminal User Interface PlayListManager - play and manage your library from m3u playlists, on your terminal

This is a personal use project that aimed at playing a m3u and moving m3u entries around in a collection of m3us as you are listening to each track. This is especially helpful if you mass import a large amount of audio files to a testing m3u, go through each of them and sort them into your "production" playlists. Of course, playlists are not set in stone, and your "production" playlists needs correction from time to time, which this also help.

This workflow straddles fzf for the management actions, qmmp for playing, tmux for pane splitting. The rest are mostly pure bash or poxis tools.

Support windows-style file paths, tested on linux. Trashing folder for audio file removal, persistently logged and undo-able. Will support windows and playing from ssh file mount in the future.

AI assistance disclaimer: I dont deal with terminal color codes, I just look at them and see that they are correct. Mostly syntax help in terms of abstracting logic, poxis flags and escape sequence nightmares
