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!
You can download it on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.mmarco94.tambourine
Source code is on: https://github.com/MMarco94/tambourine-music-player/
If you want really minimal, I just use something like
mpv "$(find ~/Music | shuf -n 1 )"
in a basic loop.
