Clementine is a music player and library organizer inspired by the classic Amarok interface. It combines local music playback with access to internet radio, network music servers and cloud storage services.
The application uses a tabbed interface for playlists and provides separate views for music collections, connected devices, online services and track information. It supports smart playlists and dynamic track selection alongside conventional playlist management.
Clementine can play music through compatible network speakers and media renderers, including Google Cast, AirPlay, Sonos and UPnP/DLNA devices. It also offers remote control from mobile devices, allowing users to browse collections and manage playback without being at their computer.
This is free and open source software.
