quick music playback through script driven command concatenation in GNU Command Line Interface including database functions.

Using command line interface ln the phone for quick, almost immediate playback. I dont use apps anymore to avoid the perpetual background audio files scanning option because it consumes battery and it slows down other processes.

So my playback scheme consists in four premises: a script that searches through files with a file search function, a database search function concatenated with a play function upon found files, a set of .m3u playlists and selected and grouped songs into a .7z compressed file which can be played without decompressing it in mpv command line.

Here is the data output after updating the database when new files are added.
