Quimup – client for the Music Player Daemon

In Operation

Quimup in action

Here’s an image of Quimup in action. It sports a simple but very easy to use interface.

At the top of the interface hosts details of the current track including codec information. There’s a playback slider. Underneath is album art.

At the the bottom of the window reside the usual playback control icons. Next to them is an icon with three horizontal lines. That lets us access the media browser (see the image below). A volume control, a mini-mode, and settings complete the icon tool bar.

Here’s an image of the aforementioned media browser. We’ve loaded our small CC-licensed music collection (that’s so that we can make memory usage comparisons with other music software). Good use is made of drag and drop.

We can sort the library by artists, albums, timestamp, year, genre, playlists, and folders. The latter option is extremely useful if your music collection isn’t properly tagged. And it does away with the perennial issue of multi-disc albums being grouped incorrectly.

The mini mode is great.

Quimup accepts files that are drag and dropped on the player or the playlist.
