# Clay [alpha]
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/and3rson/clay.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/and3rson/clay) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/clay/badge/?version=latest)](http://clay.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
Standalone command line player for Google Play Music.
This app wouldn't be possible without the wonderful [gmusicapi] and [VLC] libraries.
This project is neither affiliated nor endorsed by Google.
It's being actively developed, but is still in the early alpha version, so many features are missing and/or may be bugged.
