+For those that follow me on Mastodon or Twitter you may have seen a #weeklymusictoot being posted on my feed over the last few weeks.
This is an automated post which lists some of the music I listened to that week.
-My music player of choice is [cmus](https://cmus.github.io/){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"} and one of the cool things it can do is run scripts on a song change or when the staus changes (pause, play, stop, etc.).

-I have seen people use this to display album artwork or send a desktop notification each time a song changes. There are plenty of examples on the cmus [wiki](https://github.com/cmus/cmus/wiki/status-display-programs){target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"}. In the cmus repository there is a script called `cmus-status-display` which outputs the currently playing song to a text file. I made some modifications to the script to display the output in my preferred way, and to display the name of the playlist the song is in if applicable.

-Then I created a script which is run each Friday to take the contents of the music list and send out a toot on mastodon.

```
The second week this ran I found that the toot failed as the character count was greater than 500. I amended the script to sort the list by most entries, i.e. most played album, then count the characters and remove the least played album until the toot is viable.

-There is no real reason for this except being a bit bored for an hour so writing a tooting script. But maybe somebody will find some new music from it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
