Why a new audio player?

There's many audio players already out there, big amount of which is either filled with unnecessary things, or just legacy, like the extremely cool Windows foobar2000 audio player.

This audio player emphasizes clean codebase, little amount of dependencies, simple interface, cross-platform distribution, and being easy overall.

Releases

Compile this shit for Linux yourself if you want. I'll probably start to make releases at 1.0.0 version.

But I did so for Windows. And statically.

Program is a single .exe that's linked statically - no .dlls, folders, shit and other annoying things!

Build

You need a C++23 compatible compiler: clang, gcc, msvc.

The project uses CMake as build system.

You'll need Qt6, JUCE, FFmpeg, CImg and rapidhash to build the project.

Path to the rapidhash headers can be passed as -DRAPIDHASH_INCLUDE_DIRS.

For MinGW compatibility, you'll have to use 7.0.12 version of JUCE framework, as 8.0.0 deprecated MinGW support.

build.ps1 PowerShell script and build.sh Bash script are used to build the project to build directory.

Script supports -r argument for building in Release mode.

Build artifacts are output to build/target directory.
