What is it?

AutoPlay is a simple automation tool used to speed up opening Rhythmbox so you can get right to work. It will open Rhythmbox, begin playing your playlist, and minimize everything for you. Feel free to beef up the code and make something even cooler!

If you want the Windows version, go HERE.

Installation

You need to have xdotool installed before using. To install xdotool: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xdotool

It is recommended to place playlist.sh and playlist2.sh into your /home folder so you can just open terminal and type "./playlist.sh". Make sure you "chmod u+x playlist.sh && chmod u+x playlist2.sh" in terminal to make them executable.

Then type "./playlist.sh" to begin. The reason there are two scripts is because when playlist.sh opens Rhythmbox it cannot minimize it from the same script since the process doesn't exist according to that instance of the open terminal.
