It supports a wide range of formats including FLAC, MP3, WAV, OGG, and more, with FFmpeg fallback for others. Key features include Dolby Atmos decoding, gapless playback via pre-buffering, a 10-band parametric equalizer with presets, and three audio visualizers (spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, vectorscope). The interface offers 5 color themes, fullscreen and mini player modes, album art-based accent colors, and synced lyrics via LRCLIB. Integrations include Last.fm scrobbling, Discord Rich Presence, and local media servers like Jellyfin and Navidrome. Available as an AppImage or .deb package, it is built on Electron and can be resource-intensive with all features enabled. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
