As you may know, Cantata is a music player, working with KDE, or as a Qt4 application. Cantata has the most important features of a modern music player.
The latest version available is Cantata 2.1.0, which comes with the below changes and fixes:
- Re-add all album sorts from Cantata 1.x
- Try to detect DLNA streams (e.g. when using upmpdcli), and show as regular albums in grouped view.
- Add option to use user’s configured icon theme, and not Cantata’s supplied
theme. Option needs to be manually set in config file. See README for details. - Add filename / path to list of dynamic rule properties.
