Editor: Klactoveedsedstene is a graphical audio front-end to the popular Mplayer engine which is widely used in the Linux world. If you know WinAmp, you may recognize the look of Klactoveedsedstene . It is mainly inspired by WinAmps Media Library view. In fact it was written partly out of the frustration that WinAmp has never been ported properly to Linux, and that most of the alternatives for Linux are rather poor.
Klactoveedsedstene is not a general purpose Media Player, that supports video, TV, radio etc. It is, and will probably always remain, just a simple Song Player for your desktop, supporting only MP3 and WMA format.
So its objective is limited, because my needs were limited. However, it is quite powerful in its simplicity. As one of rather few Media Players, it is capable of finding Album Art to your music by searching the Internet. It has a fairly advanced search Algorithm with an accuracy of over 90% (if your music files are properly ID3-tagged)
Klactoveedsedstene is all written in JAVA, The name is a nonsense word, invented by the Bebop saxophonist Charlie Parker, whose portraits you are looking at in the Installer. It is also the title of one of his compositions.
