Cantata

Cantata Description

Cantata is a client for the music player daemon (MPD). Originally started as a fork of QtMPC, the code is now *very* different. To be true to QtMPCs origins, Cantata can be compiled with KDE support, or as a pure Qt4 application (however, note that this is not fully tested). The interface is very configurable - most views can be shown as either a list or tree structure.Currently Cantata has the following views:1. Library - sorted as Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist not set), Album, and finally Track.2. Albums - displays albums as icons, sorted by their title.3. Folders - displays MPDs virtual filesystem. (This view is hidden by default)4. Playlists5. Dynamic - dynamic playlists6. Streams - allows saving of internet radio URLs7. Lyrics8. Info - if compiled with WebKit, displays artist/album information from wikipedia9. Server Info - shows MPDs statistics. (This view is hidden by default)10. Devices - enables copying from/to USB-Mass-Storage (UMS) and MTP devices. (KDE build only)The sidebar has a context menu, allowing you to control its style and what items are shown.Product's homepage Requirements: · KDE Software Compilation What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ] · New context view - shows artist info, album info, and lyrics of current track. Optionally also displays large artist image as background. Retrieves info from wikipedia, as EchoNest seems to be English only. · Optionally show current album cover as backdrop to playqueue. · Add support for a per-user, Cantata controlled, MPD instance. · Option to toggle usage of monochrome sidebar icons. · Simplify, config UI. Only show HTTP settings if more than 1 active interface, dont build Proxy config by default. · Automatically play AudioCD if started with cdda:// URL · Automatically assign accelarators in Qt bulds, to match KDE behaviour. · HTTP stream playback for Qt5 builds with QtMultiMedia. (Disabled from default builds, pass -DENABLE_HTTP_STREAM_PLAYBACK=ON to cmake) · Simplified streams page. Search for streams via TuneIn. · Place search fields at bottom, hidden by default. · With MPD 0.17 and above, attempt to split cue files into separate tracks. �.You can free download Cantata from Softpedia now.
