Auralquiz: A Fun Game for Music Lovers

Aural Quiz is a small game that takes your MP3 music collection and turns it into a game.  It plays a short segment of each song and tests your memory by asking you the song's title or its interpreter.  If you happen to have a big screen or a projector that you can hook to your PC and good audio output, then you could even make competitions with up to 8 friends. 


This is where you choose the options:




The game looks like this:














Aural Quiz can be lots of fun.  It has, nevertheless, several limitations:

1.  It won't recognize some Asian characters.
2.  Since the segments played are random, sometimes you could get a silence as the hint for your song (if that song does have silences.)
3.  You should not use this game in competitive environments if you suck at recognizing songs.  It would be extremely embarrassing that your friends beat you up in a game that uses your own music collection!

    But then you could get double points if you guess correctly what song the silence belongs to! :D

    That game sounds like fun! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I'm not sure about the double score. The game keeps the scores by itself.

  3. I just installed PicarOS to my laptop. It gave me no problem, except by the manual adding of sda partition numbering in the GRUB.
