Music Player (written in Rust)

Note: This is a work in progress. 🏗️🚧

This is a simple music player that I made for my own use. It is written in Rust and uses rodio, symphonia, and gRPC libraries.
Music is played through the server's audio device. The daemon stores info about all available music, and this info can be easily searched and retrieved. Like mpd or Mopidy but written in Rust.

Note

Looking for more? If you're interested in this project, you might want to check out Rockbox Zig, a music player daemon built on the Rockbox Open Source Firmware. It offers advanced audio playback features, bringing the best of Rockbox to modern platforms with the power of Zig and Rust.
