- Go to the releases tab and download whichever version suits your computer.
- .exe files are meant for Windows, AppImage files are meant for linux users. You just need to run them, they are all included.
- Tip for Linux: It will create app folders (musics, playlists, settings etc.) where the AppImage runs, so you can put it in any folder you want and create a .desktop file to run it from the desktop.
- Enjoy!
The randomness of the next song in TaratorMusic has been statistically proven by Chi Square Test. In the test, 10.000 random songs have played after each other, and the test was successful even at 0.01 significance level.
In this app, you can easily paste a link in the download section, change its name or thumbnail, and press download to make the music and its thumbnail appear in your folders. Works for playlists too! Or you can just carry your own mp3 files to the musics folder.
You can customise everything starting from the app itself, the musics and the playlists. The music files and the playlists can be renamed, and get their thumbnails changed inside the app. The settings tab has a high variety of options on how to change user experience.
This app is connected to Discord via Rich Presence. Thus everyone can know you are using TaratorMusic, and what song you are listening to. Although its easily toggleable inside the settings tab if you don't want it.
TaratorMusic only uses 75MB per second of memory while open, 95MB per second while listening to a song, and 125 MB per second while downloading a song. The lightweightness of the app makes it suitable for computers with very low specs.
You can enable and disable the volume stabilisation provided by FFmpeg package. It will help all the songs be near the same volume, eliminating the need to change the volume every new song in case they are too quiet or loud.
