A simple music player for your library

Hello, I wasn’t particularly satisfied with any existing music player for Linux, so I gave it a shot and created my own!

In particular, I feel like there’s a gap between very simple players like Amberol and more complete ones like Tauon.
I hope to fill the gap by having something with a very simple UI, that at the same time can display your music library in an organized fashion.

It’s still under development, but the basic features are there:

  • It can play songs
  • It displays the music in your library (by default, the “Music” directory on your home)
  • You can sort/filter/search songs by album, artist, etc.
  • It interacts with the system, so you get notifications, media keys controls, KDE connect integration etc.

Any feedback is welcome!

    I wonder if you can offer a glimpse of what you’re hoping will be different about yours Vs other existing options? Don’t get me wrong, more options is good, but I wonder if you’re focusing development with a specific niche in mind?
