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 ] · Fix build due to broken translation files. · After toggling various artists grouping, or group single tracks, update list of genres associated with artists. · Fix decoding of details for Online service URLs sent to MPD, and subsequently read back. · Dont allow dragging of stream categories onto playqueue. · Replace # in stream names with ${hash} when passing to MPD, and revert when URL is displayed. · Fix covers when using album artist for multiple artist albums, and album artist name is"Various Artists"- but this has been translated in Cantata. · Dont draw item divider in icon views. · For Qt4 less than 4.8.4, then use old dbus Qt type annotations. · Default to exporting favourites streams XML into home folder. · Reset the covers-requested-per-iteration counter after each event loop iteration. This should fix the case where sometimes the system tray notifications would not have a cover image. �.You can free download Cantata from Softpedia now.
