One of the most popular types of music players are C++ libraries like Clementine, Musikcube, Strawberry, Olivia and MPZ. C++ Music Player libraries are used to play music in a variety of ways. They can be used to automatically download music from the internet, or to provide a basic user interface for managing music. These libraries have been designed by professional developers who know what they are doing when it comes to coding for audio players. Clementine is a cross-platform media player for GNOME 3 that supports a wide range of audio and video formats on the Linux desktop. The latest version of Clementine was released in February 2019 with improvements for scrobbling and an improved web interface for controlling playback. MusikCube music player is designed for Linux/Unix users who want to enjoy their music collection from different sources like local disk, network shares or portable devices. It's easy to use and supports many different audios file formats, as well as video files in various formats such as OGG and MP4 (h264). Strawberry is a cross-platform GTK+2 music player, which can play all common audio formats supported by gstreamer such as FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Musepack (also known as MP1), AAC (M4A) and so on. Olivia is a lightweight GTK+ audio player that supports many popular formats. It features an easy-to-use interface with many configuration options and customizable behaviour via plugins.
