xqp | queue-based music playing daemon

xqp is a Perl library. xqp has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

xqp is a queue-based music-playing daemon that stresses simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility. xqp is queue-based: tracks are played sequentially from a queue, and the user is free to add to or manipulate the queue at any time. The currently playing track is never interrupted (unless you ask for it explicitly), making it suitable for DJ-ing or party situations. xqp is simple: there is no music database, no tag management, no playlist management, and no graphical interface. The queue is a list of files to play. It’s written in only a few hundred lines of perl, and relies on gstreamer to do the heavy lifting. xqp is flexible: clients access the daemon over a simple text-based protocol, and a scriptable unix-friendly client is included. You can dump the queue to a file, edit it with your favorite text editor, and then push it back to the daemon. xqp is extensible: xqpd will run arbitrary perl code from the user. You can provide custom gstreamer elements in the pipeline. You can use smart playlist generators to generate items in the queue. You can hook notifications into your existing status widgets. And so on.
