Tauon is a desktop music player for Linux, Windows, and macOS with a fast, customizable playlist-oriented UI. It supports wide codec coverage (FLAC, MP3, OPUS, tracker formats), gapless playback, CUE sheets, smart playlists, and streaming from Plex, Jellyfin, or Airsonic servers.

Use cases

play flac music files on linux
music player with gapless playback and cue sheet support
stream music from my jellyfin server to desktop
play tracker and mod files with a modern player
import downloaded music archives in one click
desktop music player with winamp milkdrop visualizations
manage and play my local music library with smart playlists

When to choose

you want a polished, fast local music player with broad codec support including tracker formats
you need gapless playback and CUE sheet handling
you stream from Plex, Jellyfin, or Airsonic and want a desktop client
you're on Linux and want a Flathub or native-packaged player

When to avoid

you need automatic background library monitoring - Tauon requires manual rescans
you want a mobile or web-based player
you need streaming from subscription services like Spotify
