Does anyone still keep their music locally?

Like, actual files on your computer, played through a music player instead of Spotify/Apple Music/etc.?

I do.

I ended up building a little music player for myself, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Now I’m wondering if I should actually polish it up, package it, and open-source it.

So… are there still people out there who care about owning their music and having a nice local player for it?

Rhythmbox 3.5 is now available!

Rhythmbox, which is a music player, a tag editor, and a music organizer built for Linux and Unix-like systems, has recently been updated to version 3.5, after nearly a decade in the release of version 3.4, which was out on August 14th, 2026.

Rhythmbox 3.5 now enables the newer playback backend as the default. This backend was introduced on Rhythmbox 3.4.9 as a replacement for the old cross-fading feature. This ensures that your listening experience becomes smoother than before.

When listening to music with lyrics, Rhythmbox can now search for lyrics for your songs via lrclib.net, which makes it easier for you to play music without having to search for lyrics file yourself. It can also read lyrics that are embedded within music files and extract them.

As for podcasts, the redesigned user interface allows you to get updates for the podcast feed and to download episodes more easily. When you view a specific podcast episode from the feed, you’ll be able to get clearer information without any hassle. Furthermore, a new plugin now allows you to manage your podcast subscription and episode synchronization between Rhythmbox and other podcast clients via the gPodder.net API.

You can learn more about this version of Rhythmbox here.

After throwing away most of my App Intents code and starting fresh using the new audio schemas, I’m the closest I’ve ever got to getting Siri to work in Groove.

It all seems good in the logs but playback isn’t actually starting for some reason. 😭

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.

Ich mache jetzt seit einiger Zeit die deutsche Übersetzung für fooyin und finde es super spannend, wie schnell es sich zu einer echten Konkurrenz für foobar2000 entwickelt.

Durch die Übersetzung bekomme ich alle neuen Plugins oder Einstellungsmöglichkeiten mit und ich bin echt beeindruckt!
Und im Gegensatz zu foobar2000 läuft es auch nativ auf Linux und ist open source

BassBoom v1.0.1 released with the visualizer feature!

BassBoom v1.0.1 released with Music Visualizer

Since the release of BassBoom version 1.0.0 after years of pre-release versions, we were working on a new version of BassBoom that contained the feature that we have showcased earlier on the official Aptivi Blog. You can see the showcase here.

The visualizer feature has been showcased, and we have started working on it since the announcement, and we were excited to show this visualizer to you.

Now, we are very excited to finally announce the availability of the visualizer feature with a new release of BassBoom! This feature shows you a visual representation of the music being played, with the help of the frequency visualizer and the volume oscilloscope.

The frequency visualizer shows you the amount of sound for each frequency band, where the sound data is divided to 32 bands after processing. This tells you the amount of bass, mid, and treble frequencies in a segment of the sound being played.

The volume oscilloscope shows you the loudness of the music, along with the root mean square (RMS) measurement to give you the perceived loudness, similar to how professional DAWs show you the actual loudness and the perceived loudness.
