Hello.

When I want to listen to music in my car I have to:
- Select Menu
- Open Media Player
- Press the resume button
- Press "Now Playing" button
- Select FM Transmitter
- Enable FM Transmitter
- Save
- Press the play button.

This sucks!

I'm trying to do this with a script. Here's my (crappy) code:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

#TEXT FILE WITH THE PATH OF ALL SONGS
#TO CREATE THIS FILE: find -name "*.mp3" > /home/user/MyDocs/songs.txt
NAMES="/home/user/MyDocs/songs.txt"

if [ -f $NAMES ]
then
	#COUNT NUMBER OF SONGS 
	#wc -l $NAMES | cut -d ' ' -f 1` DOESN'T WORK IN N900
	NUMBER=0
	exec<$NAMES
	while read line
	do
	        NUMBER=`expr $NUMBER + 1`
	done

	"RANDOM" SONG
	#RANDOM VARIABLE EXISTS IN bash BUT NOT IN busybox
	max=$(($numero-1))
	random=`dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut -f1 -d" "`
	SONG=`head -$((1+($random % $max))) $FICHERO | tail -1`

	#TURNS FM TRANSMITTER ON
	fmtx_client -p 1

	#OPEN MEDIA PLAYER WITH THE RANDOM SONG
	dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"file:///$SONG
else
	echo "ERROR: The file $NAMES doesn't exist."
fi
This script selects a random song from disk, enables fm transmitter and plays the song with media player. It doesn't work very well: It only loads the random song and if I want to listen to another song I have to return to Media Player's main menu because there is no playlist, only the song (like when you open a music file with the file admin).

I'd like to create a script that enable FM Transmitter, open Media Player, load my playlist and resume playing.
After that I'd create a desktop button. I could listen to music in my car pressing only two buttons!

Is it possible? Can you help me?

Why not just use the FM widget and the Music player widget, then just two button pressing does give you music via your car music player?

I use them every day without any problems.

I use this very simple script:

phone-control --fmtxon
phone-control --mp-resume launch

Of course you must have phone-control installed from the repos.

I've several widgets installed and I didn't want to install more but I'll install media player widget.

@Keneraali
I hadn't heard about phone-control, I'll give it a try.

Thank you.
