How mainakadak02/music-player-in-c- works
This small terminal music player accepts play, stop, and exit commands. For play, it clears prior playback, invokes yt-dlp.exe with the supplied URL to create temp_song.mp3, then uses miniaudio to load and start that file. Stop halts the current track; exit releases audio resources and removes the temporary file. The README identifies YouTube as the intended source, but the sampled code does not show downloader internals or network handling.
