Sayonara Music Player is a fast and easy to use music player for Linux, the player It is written in C ++ and is compatible with the Qt framework and uses Gstreamer as an audio backend.

Although Sayoanra is considered a light breeder, it has many features to organize even large music collections. Also, this app it is a good alternative to players like Rhythmbox, Clementine or Amarok.

Sayonara focuses primarily on performance, low CPU usage and low memory consumption. That is why it is not like the largest and most well-known audio players.

This great player It has all the main features that every player should have in addition to this, it has some additional functions among which we can highlight.

Sayonara comes with a simple interface, support for dynamic playlists, a built-in equalizer, audio tag editing support, lyrics search, cover download, two themes, and a few other options.

Sayonara player characteristics.

  • It has support for many music formats and playlists
  • Has a searchable media library
  • Directory view
  • External device support
  • Gender organization
  • Tabbed Playlist View
  • Dynamic playback
  • Has an intuitive user interface

Sayonara's integration with the desktop is very good as it is automatically added to the system tray icon and not only in it, but also added to the sound menu for quick access therefore, it gives you quick access to the player in the upper or lower panel.

This is one of the features that I have loved, as not all players perform this action.
