What is Cantata?
Cantata is a graphical client for MPD. Cantata started off as a fork of QtMPC, mainly to provide better KDE integration - by using KDE libraries/classes wherever possible. However, the code (and user interface) is now very different to that of QtMPC, and both KDE and Qt (Linux) builds have the same feature set. (Windows builds lack; ReplyGain, devices, and local dynamic playlists)
Comments and Reviews
Cantata is really the best Qte based music player really for me. Isn’t bloated with too many features, have a modern design, KDE integration support, Internet music sources, and generally handle better my album collection than most of the other music players I’ve tried (The only one who could perform the same level of parsing was Lollypop, a GTK based music player).
