Museeks is a cross-platform open-source music player application developed to be simple and yet, efficient.
It recently got a shape-up to its UI and is although it can not compete with heavyweights (e.g. Rhythmbox, which supports tons of music file formats), it appeals to a cut-out set of Linux users and open-source enthusiasts.
Museeks is developed by a small team of Linux enthusiasts lead by KeithG (project owner) and its updates are not as frequent as one will expect. Regarding its latest release which came 6 months after the last one, KeithG said in the release note:
Sorry for this long development time, but a lot of stuff happened to me for the past few months, combined with my legendary laziness…
Despite the developer’s lazy claim, Museeks is an indeed sleek music player. It has an improved performance, dark theme support, improved searching speed, and in-app playing animation.
