Sonixd

Sonixd is a cross-platform desktop client built for Subsonic-API compatible music servers. This project was inspired by the many existing clients, but aimed to address a few key issues including scalability, library management, and user experience.

Features

• HTML5 audio with crossfading and gapless* playback
• Drag and drop rows with multi-select
• Modify and save playlists intuitively
• Handles large playlists and queues
• Global mediakeys support
• Multi-theme support
• Supports all Subsonic API compatible servers targeting v1.15.0
• Built with Electron, React with the rsuite component library

* Gapless playback is artifically created using the crossfading players so it may not be perfect, YMMV.
