Recordbox

Browse and play your local music Source

Description

Recordbox is a music browser and player which aims to provide a respectable feature set while remaining relatively lightweight and simple to use. Seamlessly integrated with the GNOME desktop, Recordbox provides a responsive interface, GNOME search provider integration, MPRIS capabilities, gapless playback, ReplayGain support, and more.

Features include:

Flexible library navigation. Browse albums filtered by either artist or genre, with the option to further group the album list to then browse by artist→genre→album or genre→artist→album.
Playback of music using GStreamer, with gapless playback and ReplayGain support.
Viewing and editing of lyrics, for both embedded and external lyrics.
Integration with GNOME's global search―find and play music directly from the overview.
Dynamic UI recoloring with a gradient background derived from the playing song's album art.
Detection and display of embedded or external cover art, for albums and individual tracks.
MPRIS support for controlling Recordbox from other applications.
A fully responsive interface using GTK and Libadwaita.
