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/
Looks cool! Could you consider adding a filesystem view option, though?
(Like, instead of prompting the user to select their music library directory, the user would be able to navigate through their filesystem in the player, which is handy if you organize music into multiple directories and/or don’t tag anything.)
Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind for the future!
