ErgoMusic is a Qt-based open-source music player and manager. It is inspired by iTunes for which I haven't found a suitable replacemement.

Long term Itunes user, I now share my time between multiple computers, all of them on linux. Even though there is plenty of valuable music player, none met my requirements :

• Cross-platform (but primary use for Linux).
• No-streaming (I tend to travel and I prefer to have my music on my hard-drive).
• Intuitive music import system based on watch folder.
• Self-hosting server side to sync multiple client on playlist and songs.
• Simple UI : menu on the left, main view in the middle.
• Instant play behavior : when doucle-clik on a song it plays it, it doesn't add it to a queue-list.
• A felling of finished product, since I'm the one creating it, I'll be able to tune the software for the feeling I want.
• Thanks to QML, I should be possible to completly change the UI for touch screens while keeping the backend.

I'm also using this project to keep learning more about Qt, QML and C++.

Dependency Client: Qt >= 5.6 TagLib (tested with TagLib 1.8). Doxygen for documentation

How I do it ?

How you can do it ?

Install taglib package Install Qt SDK from the qt.io website Open project in Qt Creator.

$ sudo port install libtag or $ brew install libtag

Download and install the Qt5 SDK from qt-project.org using QtCreator from the SDK open the project and compile

How you can do it ?

TODO

not tested but beside some libraries madness it should work without a glitch.

Nothing currently planned

I don't think it is worth contributing yet but feedback are always welcome.
