About

A folder player for big local music collections. Instead of indexing every file into a library, mpz treats your files and folders as the library and provides a convenient way to build playlists directly from folders. The main feature is the three-column UI: a directory tree, the list of playlists, and the tracks of the current playlist — similar to Foobar2000's Album List. Choose library folders, middle-click a folder, and a playlist is created from it. Also supported: gapless playback, a 10-band and parametric equalizer with AutoEq presets, ReplayGain volume normalization, internet radio, CUE sheets, a tag editor, cover art and lyrics, MPRIS media control, and an experimental MPD client mode.
