unison
unison is a very simple Music Player Daemon (MPD) daemon client with the following goals:
- lightweight window that can be toggled with shortcuts
- music control through rebindable shortcuts
- Snapcast integration
- Radio stations
Features
Window
By default, unison works as a daemon in the taskbar system tray. You can display the main window when needed at any time with a shortcut.
Shortcuts
You can control your music at anytime with the shortcuts. They are usable system-wide, even if the window is not visible. They are of course fully rebindable.
Snapcast
Embedding a Snapcast client allows to listen to music on multiple devices. For example, if you music is on a distant server connected to speakers in your living room, you can still listen to it on your computer running unison with this integrated client.
Radio stations
Through Radio-Browser, a community database, you can play radio streams directly from unison. There are more than 28,000 stations recorded on this service, so it is a nice way to discover new music and cultures.
Planned features
- A complete shuffle system based on set criteria, aka a smart playlist.
- Playlist, queue and library management. I use other software to do it, but I will implement them at some point.
Translations
unison is translated in English, French and Spanish. You can contribute if you want!
