Terminal Music Player written in Rust
Listen to music freely as both in freedom and free of charge!
Freedom: As time goes by, online service providers control pretty much everything we listen to. Complicated copyright issues make things worse. If my favorite song cannot be found on a website, I'll probably just not listen to them for years.
Free of charge: You can download from Youtube, NetEase, Migu and KuGou for free. No need to register for monthly paid memberships.
As a contributor of GOMU, I met serious problems during development. The main problem is data race condition. So I rewrote the player in rust, and hope to solve the problem.
As for now, MP3, M4A, FLAC, AIFF,WAV, Opus and OGG Vorbis are supported. For some formats not supported, will still try to play without metadata showing.
By the way, for mobile devices, I recommend sync your music library with mobile with verysync and
listen to them with Vinyl Music Player.

However, as this is a minimalistic program, you don't need to edit the configuration file and everything can be set from the app.
