README excerpt

# WanderFM 🎵

Real-time AI music generation powered by **Google Lyria RealTime**, driven by your heartbeat, time of day, local weather, and nearby places.

## Features

- **❤️ Heartbeat (BPM)** – Simulate heart rate (60–180 BPM). Maps directly to music tempo.
- **� Spotify Personalization** – Sync your listening history. Gemini analyzes your "Recently Played" tracks to generate personalized style prompts for Lyria.
- **�🎵 Genre** – Pick from presets (Lo-fi, Jazz, Electronic, Rock, Classical, R&B, Ambient, Japanese cryptopunk polka) or type your own for fine-grained control.
- **✨ Experience** – Choose a vibe (Happy Walk, Intense Study, Chill Evening, Road Trip, Workout) or describe your own to shape the music's energy and character.
- **🕐 Time of day** – Morning, afternoon, evening, and night shape the mood (e.g. calm morning vs late-night ambient).
- **🌤️ Weather** – Google Weather API provides current conditions (sunny, rainy, cloudy, stormy, snowy, windy, etc.).
- **📍 Location** – Nearby places (via Google Places API) influence the music — a jazz club gets jazz, a stadium gets crowd energy, a park gets nature ambient. The place name itself is included in the prompt.
