Announcing MediaBoom, a music and video player library

We are very excited to announce a new project, MediaBoom! This project is a descendant of BassBoom, which allows you to play music and video files and streams.

Using libmpv as the backend library, MediaBoom ensures that you can play music files that are encoded in formats other than MP3, which BassBoom can process. This includes formats like M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, and WAV files, which means that MediaBoom can play a wider range of music files than BassBoom. Not only that, but you’ll be able to make your application play video files, again with a wide range of formats, like MP4.

You can also stream URLs from the internet, such as internet radio stations that use SHOUTcast and IceCast, and audio and video files from the internet. BassBoom provided this feature for radio stations that use MP3, but MediaBoom expands on this further to support more radio stations.

The project is still under development, so lots of features are not available yet. We’ll make a second announcement later this year.

We appreciate your patience as we continue working on it.

Introducing improved distribution method for Launchpad PPA

Starting from July 21st, with an introduction of new Nitrocid versions, we have introduced an improved distribution method for Launchpad PPA archives for our projects, including Nitrocid and BassBoom.

This improved distribution method allows us to build packages for our applications throughout all the supported Ubuntu versions without any human intervention. Before, it required human intervention to achieve the same thing, and it was prone to mistakes.

Now, with an introduction of an improved mechanism to handle Launchpad PPA uploads, we won’t have to manually update the packages for Ubuntu versions other than the oldest supported series.

December 2025, the month of excitement, is about to start in seven days!

Addressing plans for BassBoom and MediaBoom v1.0

Since BassBoom was released, it went through several iterations of improvements, including library updates and new features, such as the radio station playback support. Over time, we needed to extend support for more music extensions other than the MPEG ones, such as Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) files and wave files (WAV), so we were plotting a plan to create a separate experimental branch of BassBoom before we eventually called it MediaBoom, finally separated as a separate app.

The two versions, BassBoom v1.0 and MediaBoom v1.0, are currently being worked on as we focus on the more essential things to make sure that we provide you with the best BassBoom and MediaBoom releases. We will conduct thorough checks for every single line of code written in both projects. Currently, MediaBoom’s repository didn’t see any sign that the real development had started, beyond just experimental code that wrapped around libmpv.

Of course, all this planning and execution takes time, but when we take time, we do our due diligence to ensure that BassBoom v1.0 and MediaBoom v1.0 get released as soon as they’re ready.

Currently, there is no ETA as to when those two launches actually happen, but we will be more transparent about those two projects as soon as we start development on them.
