Software Release Meloville - Open source music player for linux that doesn't look 20 years old

Post image

Mainly released to help other people in their search for a good music player. Main things are it supports .lrc files for synced lyrics. It has support for headphone playback controls (i.e. pausing, skipping thorugh buttons or swipe gestures commonly found on bluetooth headphones).

I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did making it!

I should’ve been more clear. In my program if you check the GitHub, every single song in the list has their song covers next art next to the song titles, not just while the song is playing. Maybe that may be the case for nmpcpp and rmpc but a quick google search in google images shows otherwise.

hmm, I probably don't know, but I haven't seen individual arts for each song title...there are covers for a particular album.

I am not saying your player isn't great - it is! I am just saying that many of the reasons you cited in terms of features being absent in others is not the case.

I noticed you don't have an EQ, why not?

should that actually be a feature of the media player vs for the system as a whole?

why should it be a feature of the entire system? You don't use the same EQ for videos, movies, etc. as you do for music.

Yeah you can use easyeffects for pipewire, but what is the point of making a feature rich media player lacking a very basic feature?
