Console Music Player (CMPlayer): Linux

CMPlayer for Linux is officially here. CMPlayer is a console music player created in Swift 5/6 and runs on Linux. It is also GPL-3.0. You can find the github code repository here:


                        https://github.com/sith-ikjetil/CMPlayer.Linux.git

CMPlayer for Linux uses libao, or libasound (alsa) for audio output. It uses libmpg123 and ffmpeg for metadata gathering and decoding. Currently the default supported filetypes for playback are mp3 and m4a. You can add more supported filetypes by adding them through the command line argument --add-format.

On Windows the application can run through WSL2. However sound in WSL2 is a problematic affair. Most likely you will, after some time, get problems with sound. The sound can become choppy and not good. You might have to restart the application. This is a WSL2 problem as the application work fine on Linux.
