Sonata
 Sonata is a
lightweight GTK+ music client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD). It
aims to be efficient (no toolbar, main menu, or statusbar),
user-friendly, and clean.
Sonata is designed to be an elegant and intuitive interface
for your music collection. The main window can be collapsed into a
"mini" view or expanded by clicking on the current song (with the
">" next to it). Additional information like song tags, album
info, and lyrics are available in a secondary window that can be
brought up by clicking on the album art/cd in the top-left of the
player, or by right-clicking anywhere in the top of the player and
choosing "song info".
Sonata's tabbed interface includes your current playlist, your
library (browse by filesystem, artists, or albums), your saved
playlists, and any streams (pls/m3u is supported). Most actions are
accessed through right-click popup menus.
