About

A simple and straight-to-the point music player for your local library.

Features:

  • Browse your music collection
  • Play songs
  • That's it really (well... there is a bit more: lyrics, waveform, gapless playback, filter/sort, etc.)

Tenets:

  • Linux first
  • Local only: no internet connection will ever be established
  • Read-only: your music will be accessed only in read mode
  • Stateless: no cache/database/whatever will be created. The metadata in your songs are the database
  • Imperfect: there will be use-cases that are not solved by this software, and that's fine

Permissions

1 permission weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • audio
    --socket=pulseaudio
  • GPU acceleration
    --device=dri
  • access to your music folder
