Almost all music players in Linux are either bloated or ugly and sometimes both. Clementine Music Player is a super hero to me. It’s fast, clean and very powerful. It is based on Amarok (which i didn’t like though).<\/p>\nAlmost all music players in Linux are either bloated or ugly and sometimes both. Clementine Music Player is a super hero to me.

A pretty OSD appears after each song starts playging anywhere you want on the screen. I’ve set mine at the top-right corner. You can also set the OSD colour to Orange. Both look simply awesome.<\/p>\n
On the left panel, you will find 2 tabs tab which are called “Song Info” and “Artist Info”. When you click on Song Info, the lyrics and background information on the song playing is fetched from the Internet such as sites as metrolyrics.com and wikia.com. It’s a really great feature. On the Artist info tabs, some pictures and biography of the artist is displayed.<\/p>\n

Another cool feature is the icon in the system tray. When a song starts playing, the icon is fully coloured. As when the song progresses, its gets decolorised according to the position of the song.<\/p>\n
However, there are some things i don’t like about the player (it is the case for almost all Linux players i came across). The shuffling is as if static. Take for example Clementine played the following songs in this order when shuffling was on:<\/p>\n C >> B >> D >> A<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If i want to re-listen to song B after song A, i have to press the Back Button twice on my keyboard. But when song B finishes, song D and A would play again before a new song (e.g. F) is played. Sometimes i get really addicted to a song which i want to listen again and again. But there is currently no way to enable some sort of ‘Shuffling on the Fly’ method.<\/p>\n If you want to try this music player, click here<\/a> and enjoy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Windows guys\/gals can also download this player. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Almost all music players in Linux are either bloated or ugly and sometimes both.
