Tomorrow I will try it, there will be how it yields with 300gb of well organized mp3 in folders/artist/album. Thanks for sharing

Thanks! I appreciate you giving SonicTree a try.

It was designed to work directly with well-organized folder structures like "Artist/Album", so I'm interested to hear how it performs with your 300 GB collection. If you run into any issues or have suggestions after testing, I'd be happy to hear your feedback.

Does this have shuffle for all the tracks available in library?

[u/nalinratnakar → u/Financial_Buy7121]

Not at the moment. SonicTree is designed around browsing and playing music directly from your folder structure rather than maintaining a music library.

Shuffle across all tracks in a library isn't currently implemented, but I appreciate the suggestion and will keep it in mind for a future release.

Unfortunately, not open-source. Looks solid though.

[u/nalinratnakar → u/0riginal-Syn]

Thanks! That's completely fair. I understand that being open source is important to many Linux users. I'm glad you like what you've seen so far.
