About

DeaDBeeF (as in 0xDEADBEEF) is an audio player for GNU/Linux systems with X11.

Current alpha version features:

• written in C99 except sid module, because of libsidplay2, which only has a C++ API (though some 3rd party libraries are entirely in C++)
• mp3, ogg vorbis, flac
• reading id3 v1, v2.2, v2.3, v2.4, apev2, xing/info tags for mp3
• character set detection for non-unicode id3 tags - supports cp1251 and iso8859-1
• unicode tags are fully supported as well (both utf8 and ucs2)
• cuesheet support for mp3, ogg and flac
• sid and some popular chiptune formats like nsf
• tracker modules like mod, s3m, it, xm, etc
• HVSC song length database support for sid
• gtk2 interface with custom highly speed/memory optimized widgets
• no GNOME or KDE dependencies - just gtk2 and several small libraries
• minimize to tray, with scrollwheel volume control
• drag and drop, both inside of playlist, and from filemanagers and such
• control playback from command line (allows global hotkeys using xbindkeys)
