CYP is a web-based frontend for MPD, the Music Player Daemon.
MPD is a powerful server-side application for playing music. In a home environment, you can connect an MPD server to a Hi-Fi system, and control the server using a notebook or smartphone. You can, of course, play audio files on remote clients. MPD can be started system-wide or on a per-user basis.
You can use CYP to control the playback without having to install native application(s). It works in modern web browsers, both desktop and mobile.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Control the playback, queue, volume.
- Save and load playlists.
- Browse the library by artists/albums/directories.
- Display album art via native MPD calls.
- Youtube-dl integration.
- Dark/Light themes.
