Why a new audio player?

There's many audio players already out there, big amount of which is either filled with unnecessary things, or just legacy, like the extremely cool Windows foobar2000 audio player.

This audio player emphasizes clean codebase, little amount of dependencies, simple interface, cross-platform distribution, and being easy overall.

Releases

Linux builds are compiled statically on Alpine Linux with musl - they require NO system libraries.

Windows builds are also compiled statically - no dlls are shipped with them.

You can get those in Releases section.

Build

You need a C++23 compatible compiler: clang, gcc, msvc.

The project uses CMake as build system.

You'll need Qt6, FFmpeg and rapidhash to build the project.

Default builds of the program include FFmpeg built with the following configuration: --enable-asm --enable-optimizations --enable-stripping --disable-debug --enable-static --disable-all --enable-avformat --enable-avcodec --enable-avfilter --enable-swresample --enable-decoder=mp3,flac,opus,aac,alac,vorbis,png,pcm_s16le,pcm_s24le,pcm_s32le,pcm_f32le,jpeg,mjpeg,bmp,webp,ac3,eac3 --enable-demuxer=mp3,flac,ogg,aac,wav,mov,matroska --enable-filter=aformat,firequalizer,aresample,alimiter --enable-protocol=file --enable-zlib

Path to the rapidhash headers can be passed as -DRAPIDHASH_INCLUDE_DIRS.

build.ps1 PowerShell script and build.sh Bash script are used to build the project to build directory.

Script supports -r argument for building in Release mode.

Build artifacts are output to build/target directory.
