Comments and Reviews
It is like Nuclear, but it actually works! The interface could be a little better and allow us to search straight for songs and skip the artist altogether.
What do you mean?
Nuclear has a similar concept, but it does not work very well. Muffon's sidebar is kinda of annoying, I wish I could fix it open, instead of hovering it all the time to open. As for the search thing, I managed to fix in the search's scope settings.
Got it. I can add sidebar option to settings.
Best FOSS multi-source music streaming client. You can choose to make a Muffon account to save your music, or not, and you're ready to enjoy limitless songs and partecipate to communities. I've been able to listen to many songs of my fav artists that the major streaming platfomrs never published. There's a big chance you never listened all your fav artist songs, and with Muffon you can do that beacuse it gather music from many sources. It's easy to use, fast and well polished and you can listen to music up to 320Kbps! The perfect music platform both for audiophiles and musicophiles who likes FOSS. And if you have suggestions, you can tell them directly!
Muffon consistently pulls much better audio quality than other Spotify alternatives, namely Nuclear.
Thanks to VK and Odnoklassniki sources. They provide audio with quality of up to 320 kbps.
