Description:

Cantata is a (yet another!) client for the music player daemon (MPD). Originally started as a fork of QtMPC, the code is now *very* different. Cantata can be compiled with KDE support, or as a pure Qt4 application. The interface is very configurable - most views can be shown as either a list or tree structure.

Currently Cantata has the following views:

1. Library - Group by either Genre, Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist not set), or Album
2. Folders - displays MPDs virtual filesystem. (This view is hidden by default)
3. Playlists - standard and dyamic
4. Internet - Radio Streams (allows saving of internet radio URLs, searching for stations via TuneIn or ShoutCast, station listings from; Digitally Imported (+Sky, JazzRadio, RockRadio), TuneIn, IceCast, ShoutCast, SomaFM, etc.) and Online services (Jamendo, Magnatune, SoundCloud, and Podcasts)
5. Devices - enables copying from/to USB-Mass-Storage (UMS) and MTP devices, and ripping AudioCDs
6. Search - search via MPD

The sidebar has a context menu, allowing you to control its style and what items are shown.

Refer to http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Client:Cantata, and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDrummond/cantata/master/README, for further information.

 Order by rating or comment?

Hello,

I really like Cantata. There are only two things missing that are keeping me from really using it..

- Order playlists by rating
- Read/edit comments and order playlists by comment

Also, but that is another topic because it is MPD related I think ; why does mpd have a different rating system than Clemetine or Banshee? When I rate a song in Clementine and open it in Banshee the rating is also visible there. It would be nice if that would be possible with MPD too.

Thanks!

There are two main ways to store ratings - in a custom tag on the song file, or in a database for the application.

I think that mpd does it via the second approach, thus it won't carry over to other programs.

It would be exportable with the right tool though.

Thank you for your answer!

But the other things I asked, could be done in Cantata, I imagine?

Greetings!

Hello,
I am new in Cantata and I have problem with showing album covers.
I play my music from QNap server via transpost (MPD player) and DAC. Cantata works except showing the album covers which are saved in the each separate album file as Folder.jpg. Some covers are shown but they are taken not from my created directories but from internet. I tried everything (I mean "Music folder" option) but the problem is still there. Please help me, Cantata is the only option for me to control my music via computer. Thank you very mucg for your help !!!!

I love this application, please help me to fix my challenges: Currently start Cantata with the question, if i aim to set it up on a local computer or just as client, then comes the question about the path and so on. I wish to compile Cantata in a way, (or edit the source code) that these questions get skipped, so that the user can simply click on a audio file and Cantata plays it. Who can help me please ? :)

Cantata is an mpd client; mpd is a music database/playback system.

It's not designed to "just play a file" at all.

Some clints "fake" random local file support by temporarily adding the files to the database, but i'd say you're rather looking for something like smplayer.

Well Cantata *can* playback local non-MPD files - it has a minimal embedded HTTP server which it uses to serve files to MPD. (I use this to play AudioCDs from my laptop out of MPD running on my Pi 2)

And as for 0 config - as long as MPD is using its defaults, then this too can work. Or at the least, provide a system-wide default Cantata config.

If you check for a running (local) mpd server at start (on default port) you can probably reasonably just connect to it.

If there's no local mpd server running, you can (given mpd is installed ... ;-) start one and connect it, but you sacrifice the wizard that asks the user what you want to do (in case mpd is just installed along libmpdclient and he actually wanted to connect his RasPi)

It's a trade-off, but my main objection would be "why use an mpd client just to abuse mpd to playback local files only" - and drop about everything (database, network, client/server) that's cool about the mpd approach.

----
Is the http server btw. in the cantata process, ie. if you quit cantata, playback stops?

I guess a connection attempt could be made, etc. to make things simpler. I'll accept patches to do this...

Does not affect my use case - where MPD is running on a Pi2

I agree, that MPD is not really meant for local file playback (or at least, that's not its strength). But, it is useful to be able to playback some local files. Again, seeing as my MPD is on another machine, I do use the in-built http server for this use-case (and for playing AudioCDs)

Yes, the HTTP server is in-process, and Cantata should remove any localy served files from the playqueue when it closes. I guess a separate cantata-http helper could be written (like cantata-dynamic) to serve the files...

Hi, I'n new to Cantata and so far I'm pretty pleased. The only problem I have is that the tiltle of all my iTunes m4a files isn't identified correctly. All m4a files have "unknown" titles. Any other files have the correct titles. Any ideas how to fix that?

Best regards

Cantata gets its metadata from MPD - so the issue will probably be there.

 Very Much Like | simpler interface than Amarok

I like the interface layout and the simplicity of using / configuring.
The UI is Not cluttered and hard to use.
Amarok has become Too much, too involved.

I want to listen to my music not learn a new app : )

the use of MPD, seems like my music sounds clearer.

Thanks,
Landis.

the Right is right the Left is wrong.
