Guimup

Guimup is a GTK interface for MPD (Music Player Daemon).

The focus is on mouse handling: playlist management is done entirely by drag-&-drop.

Features:

• Playback functions are directly accessible from the system tray.
• Supports album art.
• Supports audio streams (added as playlist).
• Songs can be listed in several modes: directories, artists, albums and playlists.
• Songs can be searched by title, album, artist or genre.
