About Sayonara Player
Sayonara is an audio player and music library manager written in C++ with Qt, using GStreamer for playback. You can browse a collection in artist, album and track tables, in a cover view or in a directory tree. It can batch-rename files and directories and edit tags.
Dynamic playback adds tracks similar to the ones you have played. Plugins add a spectrum analyzer, an equalizer and crossfading, and features you do not use can be hidden. It runs on Linux and BSD under the GPLv3.
