====================

[](#iammordatymusly-php)

musly-php is a simple PHP wrapper around the `musly` command-line tool.

> Musly is a fast and high-quality audio music similarity library written in C/C++.
>
> \-- [Musly website](http://musly.org)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

It is recommended to install musly-php via Composer.

```
$ composer require iammordaty/musly-php
```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0
- [Musly](https://github.com/dominikschnitzer/musly) with the [command-line tool](http://www.musly.org/about.html)

You may also be interested in [iammordaty/musly](https://github.com/iammordaty/musly) fork, which allows you to calculate the distance between similar tracks (see [PR #51](https://github.com/dominikschnitzer/musly/pull/51)for more information).

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
use Musly\Musly;

$musly = new Musly();

$musly->initializeCollection();
$musly->analyze('/path/to/dir/or/track.mp3');

$similarTracks = $musly->getSimilarTracks('/path/to/track.mp3');
```

Advanced usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

```
use Musly\Collection;
use Musly\Exception\FileNotFoundException;
use Musly\Exception\FileNotFoundInCollectionException;
use Musly\Exception\MuslyProcessFailedException;
use Musly\Musly;

$collection = new Collection([
    'pathname' => '/path/to/collection.musly',
    'similarityMethod' => Collection::SIMILARITY_METHOD_TIMBRE,
    'jukeboxPathname' => '/path/to/collection.jbox',
]);

// ... or
// $collection = new Collection('/path/to/collection.musly');
// $collection->setSimilarityMethod(Collection::SIMILARITY_METHOD_TIMBRE);
// $collection->setJukeboxPathname('/path/to/collection.jbox');

$musly = new Musly([ 'binary' => '/path/to/musly/binary' ]);

try {
    if (!$collection->isInitialized()) {
        $musly->initializeCollection($collection);
    }

    $musly->setCollection($collection);
    $musly->analyze('/path/to/dir/', 'mp3');
    $musly->analyze('/path/to/track.mp3');

    $similarTracks = $musly->getSimilarTracks('/path/to/track.mp3', 20);
    $collectionTracks = $musly->getAllTracks();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException | FileNotFoundInCollectionException $e) {
    // handle exception
}
catch (MuslyProcessFailedException $e) {
    // handle exception
}
```
