gigr is a command-line interface tool for playing music, written in Rust. It's simple, but development has not yet been completed :D! There are more features planned.

The program allows you to select directories and individual files from which to play supported audio in supported formats (flac, wav and mp3), adding them to a queue. If the directory of the currently playing song contains a file in png or jpg format, it will be displayed as album artwork.

gigr is dependent on ALSA. For audio playback to function, you must install the respective packages for your system. (eg. if you are using Pipewire on Arch Linux, you must install pipewire-alsa)

• Queue-based playback
• Album art display
• An EQ-like visualizer for viewing the frequencies of a song while it's playing
• Multiple modes
• Simple, keyboard exclusive controls
• Linux support

• h - jump to previous track
• j - volume down
• k - volume up
• l - skip track
• space - play/pause

• i - File Selector Mode
• o - Queue View Mode
• p - Track Info Mode
• q - quit

• a - move to the parent directory
• s - move down
• d - move up
• f - move inside selected directory
• Enter - add files inside selected directory to the queue

This project is intended for use on GNU/Linux systems and can be built with Cargo. To build, clone this repo, ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed, then run::

cargo build --release

Thanks to the testers!
