Building a NetEase Cloud Music Player with Python and PyQt5
This article walks through creating a full‑featured desktop music player using Python 3.6, PyQt5 for the GUI, and requests for web scraping, covering environment setup, dependencies, key functionalities, technical challenges, and a reflective conclusion on the development experience.
Environment : Python 3.6.8 and PyCharm.
Dependencies : PyQt5 for graphical interface development, shelve for object serialization, and requests for data crawling.
Feature Demonstration : Search the entire web by keyword (song title, artist, album); crawl daily charts to play the most fashionable music; generate word‑cloud statistics to visualize personal taste; one‑click transfer to mobile devices; a local music player that shows track source, history, and other metadata.
Technical Difficulties : Custom window navigation bar (dragging window position and resizing), harmonizing multiple states of the music player, careful use of the shelve library for persistence, and multithreading problem handling.
Conclusion : Over more than a month the author learned various PyQt5 components, overcame numerous challenges, and completed the project, expressing a strong sense of achievement while emphasizing that the software is for learning and non‑commercial use only.
