Cantata is a graphical Qt5 client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD) with a highly customisable interface, dynamic and smart playlists, online service integration, and a tag editor. Development ceased in 2022 with v2.5.0 as the final release.
Use cases
- control my MPD music server from a desktop GUI
- manage multiple MPD music collections
- browse and stream podcasts and online music services
- edit music file tags and organize my library
- listen to internet radio streams
- rip and play audio CDs
- create smart and dynamic playlists
When to choose
- you run MPD and want a full-featured graphical client on Linux
- you need multiple MPD collection support and a customisable layout
- you want integrated online services, radio streams, and podcast support in an MPD client
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and new features
- you are not using MPD as your music server backend
- you need first-class macOS or Windows support, which is no longer actively supported
