Museeks
What Museeks is
Museeks is a free music player for Linux, macOS, and Windows, designed around a simple interface. It plays MP3, MP4, M4A/AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, and 3GPP files. The player can refresh its library automatically, manage playlists and a playback queue, and provide shuffle, loop, playback-speed control, and a sleep mode blocker. It also lists cover art, a dark theme, and M3U playlist import and export. The official website offers installers for all three platforms, including ARM builds for Windows and Linux. Museeks identifies its license as MIT and lists version 0.23.4 as the latest release. It is built with Tauri v2 and Rust on the backend, with React providing the interface. Package-manager publication is community-maintained and may not provide the newest version. For bug reports, the project directs users to GitHub issues and asks for the operating system, Museeks version, and reproduction steps. The project explicitly aims for simplicity instead of matching feature-heavy music players.
