Anyone seeking a solution to emulate popular media players to manage and play music files
About WACUP
A media player that's made to emulate some of your favorite media players from the past & bring them into the future. WACUP (which can be pronounced as wakeup or wac-up or however you prefer it in your native tongue) is my vision of what a media player should be whilst still being compatible with the plug-ins for some of the most popular media players that you are used to. My plan is to include bug fixes, updates of existing features & most important new features with the goal of eventually becoming its own highly compatible media player. WACUP is heavily based around a plug-in system making it simple to tailor your WACUP install to be what you want it to be. When it's finally out of being a preview build an SDK will eventually be offered so new plug-ins can then be made to add additional features. Yes WACUP will be free to download & use. The intention of becoming a WACUP beta tester is to help ensure WACUP is ready for a wider audience as part of the preview.

Clapper
Simple and modern GNOME media player. Clapper is a GNOME media player built using GJS with GTK4 toolkit. The media player is using GStreamer as a media backend and renders everything via OpenGL. The player works natively on both Xorg and Wayland. It also supports hardware acceleration through VA-API on AMD/Intel GPUs, NVDEC on NVIDIA, and V4L2 on mobile devices. The media player has an adaptive GUI. When viewing videos in "windowed mode", Clapper will use mostly unmodified GTK widgets to match your OS look nicely. When the player enters "fullscreen mode" all GUI elements will become darker, bigger, and semi-transparent for your viewing comfort. It also has a "floating mode" which displays only video on top of all other windows for a PiP-like viewing experience. Mobile-friendly transitions are also supported. We improved the GL/GLES context automatic selection. Additionally, it also has a few patches, thus some functionalities work better (or are only available) in Flatpak version.
