Euphonica, the modern GTK4 based MPD client, finally added official package for Linux. Here’s how to install it in Ubuntu desktop.<\/b><\/p>\n

For those who never heard of Euphonica, it’s a client app for Music Player Daemon (MPD) that provides a modern user interface for managing large local music collection (tens of thousands of songs).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It uses GTK4 + LibAdwaita for a modern UI designed for GNOME (though also works in other desktops), and support basic MPD features, such as playback control, queue reordering, ReplayGain, crossfade and MixRamp configuration.<\/p>\n

It can automatically fetch album arts, artist avatars from Last.fm<\/em> and Music Brainz<\/em>, and use the current album art for the app window background.<\/p>\n

There are also synced song lyrics support through either the 2 external sources alongwith LRCLIB or local files, as well as MPRIS integration, allowing to control you MPD instance via keyboard shortcuts and shell applets without having to keep the app window open.<\/p>\n

As you see in the screenshot, the client also has a built-in visualiser, which can read from either FIFO output (not work for Flatpak so far due to sandboxing) or PipeWire output. And, it provides few basic options to switch between and configure them.<\/p>\n
