Client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD)
Cantata is a graphical client for MPD, supporting the following features:
* Multiple MPD collections.
* Customisable layout.
* Songs grouped by album in play queue.
* Context view to show artist, album, and song information of
current track.
* Tag editor.
* File organizer - use tags to organize files and folders.

TuneIn, ShoutCast, or Dirble.
* USB-Mass-Storage and MTP device support
* Audio CD ripping and playback
* Playback of non-MPD songs - via simple in-built HTTP server if
connected to MPD via a standard socket, otherwise filepath is sent
to MPD.

* Basic support for touch-style interface (views are made
'flickable').

Cantata started off as a fork of QtMPC, however, the code (and user
interface) is now very different to that of QtMPC. For more detailed
information, please refer to the main README.

- Update to 2.4.2:
* Correctly handle changing 'Basic' mode music folder.
* When stopping 'Basic' mode MPD instance, send SIGKILL.

wrong config item.

* Fix destructor of DeviceManagerPrivate to prevent Cantata from
potentially crashing when closing.
* Correctly set song details 'time', 'year', 'track' and 'disc'
for streams from online services.

numbers too.

details.
* Synchronize update of current song details and status of MPRIS
interface, trigger MPRIS status update when connection to MPD
has been lost.

and lyrics.wikia.com

Cantata has halted development https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata
might be a good idea to switch upstream to a fork in the future, I've found this one for example: https://github.com/buckmelanoma/cantata-next
I agree that upstream should be switched but the big problem is that none of the forks collaborate to actually continue the development as a team effort. They're all minding their own business, everyone is ignoring bug fixes by anyone else, and none emerged as the go-to destination, yet. https://github.com/WurdahMekanik/cantata/tree/qt6_migration is a Qt6 port, for example.
