Summary
termusic is a solid music player with support for a good range of music formats including FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV and OPUS.
The project is at an early stage of development so it’s not surprising to find bugs, but there are already many positives. This music player is extremely frugal with system resources, particularly memory usage.
However, the absence of gapless playback is a serious issue in our book. Hopefully this is addressed in a future release.
The default keyboard shortcuts aren’t great but it’s possible to remap them.
We tested version v0.6.13 which was released on 19 April 2022. A minor new release has been published but this doesn’t materially affect this review.
