since FerrumPix has received such a nice response here, I thought I’d also introduce another small project of mine: FerrumKix.
I know there is certainly no shortage of audio players for Linux, but FerrumKix takes a slightly different all-in-one approach. Besides being a lightweight music player, it includes an integrated CD player and ripper, tag editor and audio converter, as well as a Lyrion Music Server client and remote control.
So the idea is similar in spirit to FerrumPix: rather than needing several separate tools for common tasks, I wanted to bring the things I regularly use together in one application.
I’m not trying to replace every specialised music application out there, but perhaps some of you will find this approach useful or interesting.
The screenshots in the repository are currently in German (sorry about that) but FerrumKix itself supports multiple languages, including English.
FerrumKix is mainly aimed at home users and people who manage their own music collection. I wanted something simple for listening, ripping CDs, fixing tags, converting files and, in my case, also working with a Lyrion server without needing several different applications.
