Mission Statement
the goal of the Sinfonico project is a music player
that is both easy to use and suitable for classical music.
Track Titles
If you ever have played classical music on an mp3 player,
you have probably experienced the same problem:
track titles are truncated and very hard to read, like this:
that sucks.
Sinfonico does it better. It displays track titles of any length.
Simple idea, but -believe it or not- no existing music player has yet
implemented it.
Grouping
works of classical music are usually grouped into movements, or act, etc.
Instead of listing a CD track-by-track it makes sense to display the tracks
grouped by "work".
Fortunately, the ID3v2 standard (which is the most widespread standard for mp3 meta-data)
provides the means for grouping tracks into "Content Groups" (technically speaking: the TIT1 tag).
Unfortunately, almost nobody makes us of it. Very little music player do support the TIT1 tag, and virtually none of them displays it properly.
Sinfonico does it better. It does respect the content group and display it like this:
Alternatively, many mp3 files put the "work" into the track title,
resulting it extremely long and hard to read titles.
Sinfonico makes an effort to group those titles.
Apart from this, the Sinfonico user interface is straighforward.
It has a searchable album list, and a track list per album.
Really simple.
Sinfonico likes Spotify
we plan to have a Spotify integrated with Sinfonico.
Again, Sinfonico makes an effort to display albums as
comprehensively as possible (and probably better than
the official Spotify client).
Note however, that Sinfonico is not a full-featured replacement
for Spotify's own client.
Platforms
Sinfonico is developed using the Qt framework with QML, making it easy to
port it to a range of desktop and mobile platform.
The original version was developed for the Meego platform.
Currently, ports exist for
The main target platform will be
