From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yet another FOSS music Player for Linux (flathub.org)

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

This looks really nice! However, as someone who uses a local Jellyfin server for my music, I can’t really use it. I know on the site it’s mentioned that this will never connect to the web, but it’d be nice to see it support local servers of common self-hosted music library solutions (Jellyfin, plex, ampache). Right now the only real solution for these on Linux is Sonixd, so an alternative would be sweet.

Thanks! Honestly, that's really out of scope for this project. Maybe you could mount the folder with your music locally, although I can already tell you it's gonna be pretty slow if you have a medium/large music library.

Have you looked into Plex Amp? I've been told it's decent.
