Deltrack is a simple script that moves the currently playing track to trash.

Increase the quality of your music collection by assigning a global shortcut to this script. :)

Copy deltrack.py to $HOME/bin

mkdir -p $HOME/bin
wget -O $HOME/bin/deltrack.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felixhummel/deltrack/master/deltrack.py
chmod +x $HOME/bin/deltrack.py

and install the input actions:

• go to System Settings --> Input Actions
• in the lower left: Edit --> Import --> select "input_actions.khotkeys"
• (optional) Edit the shortcut to your choice. Default: "Win+Alt+d" (Win == Meta).
• (optional) Edit the command if you copied deltrack.py somewhere else.

Have fun!

• right-click the "Application Laucher" (blue K, in the lower left corner)
• select "Menu Editor"
• click "New Item" and give it a name (like "delete current track")
• Command: "python $HOME/bin/deltrack.py" (without quotes)
• untick "Enable launch feedback"
• open the "Advanced" tab (ALT+A)
• click the "Current shortcut key" button and assign the shortcut

• line 15 contains a list called "exts". Add other file extentions here to be deleted along with the song itself. For example, exts=[] will not utilize this feature at all, while exts[".tqd"] will, if songName.mp3 is our deleted file, also delete songName.tqd.
• There is a similar list called "save". This contains all extensions to recognize as "songs". If a directory containing the song you just deleted contains NO files with the file extensions in save[], the entire directory will be deleted. This prevents empty directories from being scattered about, and also handles the case where a useless cover art image or playlist is left behind.
