Pogo – fast and minimalist audio player

Pogo is billed as probably the simplest and fastest audio player for Linux. Pogo plays your music. Nothing else.

Its elementary-inspired design uses the screen-space very efficiently. Pogo is especially well-suited for people who organize their music by albums on the hard drive. The main interface components are a directory tree and a playlist that groups albums in an innovative way.

Pogo is a fork of Decibel Audio Player and supports most common audio formats. It uses GTK+ and gstreamer.

Features include:

  • Fast search on the hard drive and in the playlist.
  • Smart album grouping.
  • Cover display.
  • Desktop notifications.
  • No music library.
  • Control Pogo from the command line.
  • Ubuntu notification support.
  • Search box.
  • Equalizer.
