User Reviews

  • I really enjoy using this streamlined, restrained and minimalist player. Thanks to the developers for their great work.
  • I like how this player is rather small and supports basic mod formats. I just found it to play XM tracker file. UI dialog is small and nice. It supports 3 needed formats for me - XM IT S3M. Small unhandy behaviour (it can be fixed later?) - a) when I open XM file from Double Commander by association, player opens its dialog but DON'T start playing. b) I must copy binary to some folder, no DEB installer fo Ubuntu. OK thing is that it plays XM files good - I tested on "Emelie by Radix" and sound is good, while some other Linux player made bad-false sound in the middle. App is made by some Russians. They are good in software.
  • Best music player for Linux. I've tried many others, some with more fancy features and pretty GUIs, but keep coming back. It's just so well-behaved and plays virtually anything. The new 1.8.0 version is a winner, and with the newer ReplayGain scanner features I now can use it to more quickly whip those pesky files into shape before adding them to the collection. Musical Spectrum is the best analyser of any player. Thanks devs for your wonderful work!

  • I always like software tools with minimal dependencies on external components. Your player is a best example of such a tool. List of supported audio formats is very large too.
