# unison
![Main window](Screenshots/screen1.png)
**unison** is a very simple [Music Player Daemon (MPD)](https://www.musicpd.org/) daemon client with the following goals:
* lightweight window that can be toggled with shortcuts
* music control through rebindable shortcuts
* [Snapcast](https://github.com/badaix/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](https://www.radio-browser.info), 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!
