Paid for pro Musicolet features, that's how much I love that app. I rarely pay for pro features for anything, so when I do, it means I'm really using the hell out of the service. It was only $15 for lifetime access- a deal they have going on right now. So if you like Musicolet and want pro features, that's a crazy good deal. Had to jump.

Does anyone know of an android music app that can play tracks downloaded to a folder but doesn't auto play the next track when the current one finishes?

I have to play some music at an event via a Bluetooth speaker and the apps I can find all jump to the next track automatically, but I need to be able to play them individually.

Tauon Music Player Adds Slick Transparency Mode for Linux

A new version of Tauon music player is out, gifting fans of the powerful and unique-looking audio app a raft of new features to play with – including some Linux exclusive eye candy! Tauon 8.0 has been fully ported to SDL3, an efficient cross-platform and open-source multimedia library that provides a robust API for interacting with hardware (like audio devices). Tauon mention that the port provides better stability and scope for adding interesting new capabilities. Features-wise, Tauon 8.0 adds an options menu to the stop button so let users define stop behaviour (including an ‘always’ setting, e.g., ‘always stop after :sys_more_orange:

DeaDBeeF 1.10 Release Brings New Features

A new version of DeaDBeeF music player is out, bringing some cool features, FFmpeg 7 support, and a flurry of bug fixes to long-time fans. The popularity of traditional desktop music player apps has dipped considerably since the arrival of music streaming services like Spotify, which give users on-demand (and often free) access to a far larger catalogue of artists, albums and releases. Still, many people (myself included) have libraries filled with MP3 and other audio files, and do enjoy listening them. I’d wager most such users have (by now) settled on their preferred local music player; for many, that :sys_more_orange:

High Tide is a Promising New TIDAL Client for Linux

Linux users hunting for a native client to stream music from TIDAL will want to keep an eye on a promising new open-source app called High Tide. High Tide is an unofficial but native Linux client for the TIDAL music streaming service. It’s written in Python, uses GTK4/libadwaita UI, and leverages official TIDAL APIs for playback. TIDAL, often positioned as the ‘pro-artist music streaming platform’, isn’t as popular as industry titan Spotify (likely because it doesn’t offer a ‘free’ ad-supported tier) but is nonetheless a solid rival to it in terms of features and catalogue breadth. Windows, macOS, Android and :sys_more_orange:

@k I noticed it's a fork of Clementine.
Clementine had some issues with large collections. I made some enhancements in it, but the changes weren't accepted upstream (still not sure why).

My fork can be found at:

Looks like Strawberry doesn't have these changes implemented. At least it's not displaying anything during library scan.

Looking for hints on a music player for Dj'ing. Specs:

- Runs on Linux
- Can access library that's mounted over sshfs (may be slow)
- Decent GUI

Currently using Rhythmbox. It's not great, but not terrible.
For example MIXX UI freezes randomly if playing from network share - probably it's doing some file operations in the GUI thread or something.

Rhythmbox’s New Release Fixes Its Broken DAAP Server + More

A new version of the GTK-based music player Rhythmbox has been released, the first major update in over a year. Rhythmbox 3.4.8 is billed as a ‘minor improvement release’ so there are no shiny new features or (some would say overdue) UI changes to speak of. But there are plenty of bug fixes and smaller quality enhancements worth knowing about. Although primarily used to listen and manage local music files, Rhythmbox supports network shares, podcasts, radio streaming, and integration with online services like Magnatune and Last.FM. In this release the app picks up a number of podcast improvements, including better :sys_more_orange:

Clementine Music Player Gets First Non-Preview Release in 8 Years

Remember Clementine music player? Well, it appears to be back in play – some 8 years since its last stable release. While Clementine feels like it’s slipped out of public consciousness in recent years the player has remained under active development. The last stable release was in 2016 (v1.3.1) but a LOT of release candidate builds were issued since (v1.4.0-rc is carried in the Ubuntu repos). However, this weekend the Clementine GitHub added a non-RC build, v1.4.1, marked as a ‘rolling release’. As the first non-RC build in forever this feels notable. The catch? No official announcement has been so :sys_more_orange:

Tauon Music Player Adds Native Support for PipeWire

Tauon music player (once known as Tauon Music Box) now offers native PipeWire audio playback on Linux —  albeit experimental for the moment. Fans of this streamlined music player have asked for native PipeWire support for a while, and the app developers have been working on it accordingly. Now, keen to get it out there, the latest Tauon 7.8.1 release ships with native PipeWire support. Now, in case you’re wondering, Tauon already worked with PipeWire through the pipewire-pulse compatibility layer. This update doesn’t require that; Tauon can now interact directly with PipeWire, accessing and benefitting from all of its features. :sys_more_orange:

Amarok 3.1 Released with Last.FM Tweaks, Qt 6 Prep + More

A new version of Qt-based music player Amarok is available to download. Amarok 3.1 lands three months after Amarok 3.0, which was the first release in nearly 6 years and saw the audio player’s developers complete their port to Qt 5 (which receives further polish here, in 3.1). But with Qt 6 now out work to port Amarok to Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 has been picking up steam. Thought that effort isn’t complete here, in Amarok 3.1, the team say it’s “not that far away” – so that’s great to hear. Amarok 3.1 overhauls its Last.fm integration plugin :sys_more_orange:

Audacious Music Player Now GTK3 By Default, Improves Wayland Support

A new version of the Audacious music player popped out a few weeks back, but I totally missed hearing about until today (when sifting through my GitHub stars to make sure no other apps I like have joined the FOSS graveyard). Audacious 4.4 is a sizeable update which existing fans of this feature-packed, lightweight audio app are sure to appreciate, whether they run it on Linux, macOS, Windows, or a *BSD of some description. The biggest change? Audacious now defaults to GTK3 or Qt6 (depending on preference). Neither toolkit bumps changes the look of the app, but will mean the :sys_more_orange:

Amarok 3.0 Released, Ported to Qt5/KDE Frameworks 5

A new version of the open-source music player Amarok has been released, the first major update to the Qt-based media app since 2018. Amarok 3.0 is the first stable release to use Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5, and work to port the music player to the the newest Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 is, its devs say, soon to get underway. “Common usecases should work quite well, and in addition to fixing KF5 port related regressions reported in pre-releases, 3.0 features many bugfixes and implemented features for longstanding issues, the oldest such documented being from 2009,” devs say. :sys_more_orange:

Musique Music Player Ported to Qt 6, Refreshes UI

It’s been a long time since I last wrote about Musique, a desktop music player for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Amazingly, the app is still going as it just got its first major update in nearly 3 years. “This Musique update is the first Qt 6-based release I do. The main effort has been modernizing the look of the app: a more flat and clean style, with rounded artist pics and a nicer toolbar,” writes its developer, Flavio Tordini, on the project website.

YMuse (MPD Frontend) Updated with New Icon, Features, and Fixes

A new version of Ymuse, a nimble front-end to the Music Player Daemon (MPD) is out. Ymuse 0.22 ‘Xylophone’ intros support for drag-and-drop in the play queue (a real doozy of a feature), adds a single-track repeat option, and debuts an all-new app icon (the martini glass motif gives way to a classy illustration of a muse from classical history). This update also makes it possible to quickly add or replace all tracks in the Library via the context menu you see when right-clicking on Library > Files, and nixes the (fairly annoying) warnings about empty or missing config files. These enhancements :sys_more_orange:

@nixCraft I still use Winamp to this very day (v5.9.0 currently). It's the only music player I've found that a) doesn't have a load of pointless junk in it, and b) can handle my music collection of 40,200+ tracks without choking.

MusicPod is a New Music, Podcast, and Radio Player for Ubuntu

A new all-in-one music, radio and podcast player is in development for Ubuntu, called MusicPod. Though MusicPod not an “official” Ubuntu app it is being developed under the umbrella of the Ubuntu Flutter Community, who also maintain that Fluter-based software app we previewed last summer which Ubuntu may use in a future release. The app is built in Flutter and uses Flutter’s “Yaru” design elements to effect a look that’s similar to the GTK theme of the same name but, y’know, without being an actual GTK app. So what can it do?

‘Cider’ is an Open Source Apple Music Client for Linux Desktops

If you’re an Apple Music subscriber wanting to use the service on Linux, you have to check out Cider. Cider (inspired name, eh?) is an “open-source, community-oriented Apple Music client” for Windows, macOS (not that they need it), and Linux. It is Electron-based but the developers behind it say it was written ‘from scratch with performance in mind’. As well as letting you browse songs, artists, and albums in the Apple Music catalog the app also gives you access to Apple Podcasts too. Obviously Cider is 100% unofficial and not Apple-endorsed. But the feature set is solid, and the UI :sys_more_orange:

Tidal-HiFi is the Best App for Streaming Tidal Music on Linux

Let me preface this post by stating, somewhat cheekily, that I would rather not use Electron apps where possible. But, in the face of no alternative I can suck it up and make use of ’em 😉. And so it is with Tidal-hifi, an Electron-based (I know, I know) app that is, to my knowledge, the easiest way to stream music from TIDAL on Linux in the service’s Hi-Fi quality (hence the hi-fi name – and TIDAL? That’s the last time I’m capitalising you). Now, ‘easiest’ is an important qualifier in the sentence you just read as there are other :sys_more_orange:

Amberol GTK Music App Gains New Features, Reduces Memory Usage

I’m a big fan of Emmanuele Bassi’s Amberol music player and the latest version, released this weekend adds a couple of pretty big new features. Before I get to those, I will point out that this GTK-based music music player has been updated numerous times since I spotlighted it back in April. UI improvements, including relocating the playlist to the left-hand side of the window, have been implemented; there’s now an option to disable UI recolouring; and comprehensive MPRIS support. Amberol 0.8 is the latest release and it lets you search for songs in the playlist/queue. You don’t need to :sys_more_orange:
