I started on a project a while ago that may be a helpful starting
point. It is a daemon written in C that watches a directory with
inotify ("~/Music" by default), tracks metadata about music files in a
sqlite3 database, and responds to HTTP queries about artists and
authors with JSON. It fits my needs perfectly well; I use it every
day to listen to music, although there are certainly aspects that
could be improved. I'm open to suggestions and criticisms. It
currently has 4 deps: taglib, sqlite3, libevent2, and glib. It looks
like the only thing I'm using glib for is URI escaping (this was
written before I was trying to suckless), it could easily be removed.
