Minirok – small music player written in Python

Minirok is a small music player written in Python for the K Desktop Environment (KDE 4).

The software is modelled on the highly popular application, Amarok. However, Minirok is designed to offer only a reduced set of features, simply to meet only the requirements of its author. Nevertheless, the software retains the appearance of Amarok.

The main interface is a tree view of the filesystem, with a playlist that is populated via drag and drop. There is no collection built from tags, so Minirok is intended for individuals whose music collection is structured in a tree already at the filesystem level. Searches can be performed both in the tree view and the playlist.

Minirok is written using the PyKDE bindings and the GStreamer media framework.

Features include:

• Supports playing and reading tags from MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and Musepack files.
• Playlists with support for Undo/Redo functionality.
• DBus interface for controlling the player and retrieving the currently played track, among other things.
• Alter the playing order in the playlist by queuing tracks; stop after a certain track; repeat track or playlist; random mode; undo and redo.
• Reading of tags when adding to the playlist can be disabled by specifying a regular expression to extract them from the filename.
• Submission of played songs to Last.fm or any other Last.fm compatible service (such as Libre.fm) without any external software.
• Enqueue/dequeue selected tracks with a shortcut.
• Configurable buttons in the toolbar.
• Global shortcuts.
