Now Playing

Album Artists

This view groups album by that Album Artist and lets you select an Artist to see all that artist's albums with their covers. You can then select an album to view it in the track listing below.

Albums

This view groups tracks by album and lets you select an album to view it in the track listing. It also has a button to play a random album, and a filter for album year.

Playlists

This view allows you to view and play traditional m3u playlist files in your music directory. It also has a button to play a random album, and a filter for album year.

Tags

Tags are the most unique feature to this application. Tags let you group songs together, and they are ideal for large playlists without a defined order. You can tag each track with arbitrary tags. These are stored in the file's metadata themselves, so they will not break if the file moves (like a traditional playlist). You can also export tags to an m3u file for compatibility with other players.

Future Features

• Editing playlists
• more filters in track and album view
• filters for album artist view
• More Audio Formats
• Installers for more architectures
• More options for continuous play mode
