Simple.

Xnoise has a simple and intuitive interface which does not attempt to confuse the user with countless lists and toggles;

it only has one pane for finding music - the media browser - and one for the queue of music to be played - the tracklist.

Powerful.

Despite being fast - thanks in part to its Vala implementation - Xnoise is featureful. Out of the box, Xnoise has tag editing, lyrics support, a presentation mode, and can play any kind of audio/video content that GStreamer can.

Additional functionality may be acquired through Xnoise's plugins.

Beautiful.

Xnoise is built with GTK+, ensuring seamless theme-ability and conformity with other GTK applications. Its layout is simple, unobstructed, and efficient. Media is easy to find and arrange, minimizing the time spent searching, and maximizing the time spent listening.

Welcome!

Xnoise is a media player for GTK+ with an intuitive user interface, great speed and lots of features.

Xnoise allows listening to music and playing video in a very intuitive way: You can easily search the library and drag each artist, album or title to the tracklist (to any position in any order). In the tracklist all queued tracks (music or video) are played one by one without being removed. There, you can reorder, insert or remove any track as it comes to your mind.

The media library (left side) contains all available media as a hierarchical tree structure of media tag metadata. It is easy to find any single track, artist, album or genre by using this tree structure or by just entering a search term. Here you find all you music, streams or videos in a nicely presented, searchable way.

Features

A local database is used for caching the metadata and media locations. Xnoise has really a great speed and is memory efficient!

Please help improve Xnoise!

If people would take over some tasks, fix some bugs or help developing, then the development of xnoise could be much faster.

Localization

By now, xnoise is available with localizations for Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Polish, Portugese, Russian, Spanish (CO and ES).
