# unison
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**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
|
|
* shuffle panel
|
|
* [Snapcast](https://mjaggard.github.io/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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Shuffle panel
|
|
|
|
One of unison's main feature is a complete shuffle system based on criterias, aka a smart playlist.
|
|
|
|
You have two options:
|
|
* **Add to queue** allows you to add a defined number of songs to the queue.
|
|
* **Continuous shuffle** allows you, as long as the program is running, to automatically add songs to the queue.
|
|
|
|
Each of these options work with filters, but if none are selected, it is based on the entire library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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.
