Gnome Music Player Client

From Gnome Music Player Client

About

GMPC is a GTK2 client for Music Player Daemon. GMPC is licensed by the GPL and is free software.

GMPC is designed to be easy to use, yet providing full access to all of MPD's features. The user is presented with several different methods to browse through its music, while still being a lightweight client.

GMPC can be extended by plugins. Many plugins are available.

GMPC is the oldest maintained Graphical client for MPD. It has been created in 2003 and been under constant development.

Goals

• Fully featured.
• Fast, even with a huge playlists and database. Currently it handles a play queue with more than a 1.000.000 songs without a problem.
• Fast startup, even over a slow connection.
• Low memory usage. On opensuse 0.11 x86_64 with a database of 32.000 songs and a playlist with 50000 songs mpd uses 11 mbyte of memory.
• Portable. GMPC, although it is in the name, does not depend on any gnome library. It runs on most platforms available (linux, bsd, solaris, osX, windows).
• Extendable, functionality can easily be added using plugins.

Parts

• libmpd Abstracts the connection to mpd. It wraps around libmpdclient to provide a higher level access. It was written to make the development and maintenance of gmpc easier.
• gmpc The program self.
• plugins To extend the functionality of gmpc. Plugins can pull in extra dependencies, or implement more memory hungry features. This allows you to only add what you really want or need.
