One daemon, every interface
Quit the interface and the music pauses, the daemon keeping its place. Open it again — from another terminal, another machine, or a browser — and every client sees what the others do.
A music player for the terminal
Your music,
quiet and whole.
One daemon holds the library and plays. The terminal, a window, your phone and the command line are its clients — open any of them, the music is where you left it.

What it does, simply
- Six ways to browse
- Artists, albums with covers, genres, years, folders, a sortable list. Playlists and radio in the same tree.
- Forgiving search
- Press / and type. “bjork” finds Björk, “radihead” finds Radiohead.
- A queue shaped like your library
- Albums stay grouped, shuffle is a separate play order, “play next” pins an entry.
- Sound, carefully
- A ten-band equalizer, speed and pitch apart, fades, ReplayGain, a visualizer fed by the real signal.
- Web radio
- Stations by country, the song on air, and recording as broadcast.
- A library that stays tidy
- Tags, MusicBrainz, covers, conversion, a doctor for duplicates — every change previewed, and u undoes it.
Light, and the same everywhere
macOS, Linux and Windows. Python and libmpv, a handful of dependencies, nothing running that you did not ask for. Your files are never changed without a preview.
