Slix Player

A lightweight music player built with Rust & Slint

Slix Player

Currently only tested a little bit on Arch & OSX, but there are builds for windows to check out as well.

Usage

Open it up and point to a folder with music files. It'll recursively scan, analyse and add them.

Features

Basically should be the same as any audio player you're used to, with play/pause etc..

But it does extract some info about the tracks & maintains your last playing state so you can resume where you left off.

  • Analyses tracks and extracts metadata/cover art and builds a waveform.
  • Cross platform UI with Slint
  • Track analysis with Symphonia
  • Track cache using fjall
  • Playback using rodio
  • Media Control Integration with souvlaki

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key Action
Space Play / pause
← / → Seek back / forward 5 seconds
Shift+← / → Seek back / forward 30 seconds
0–9 Jump to 0%–90% of the track
