Cantata is a (yet another!) client for the music player daemon (MPD). Originally started as a fork of QtMPC, the code is now *very* different. Cantata can be compiled with KDE support, or as a pure Qt4 application. The interface is very configurable - most views can be shown as either a list or tree structure.
Currently Cantata has the following views:
1. Library - Group by either Genre, Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist not set), or Album
2. Folders - displays MPDs virtual filesystem. (This view is hidden by default)
3. Playlists - standard, dyamic, and smart
4. Internet - Radio Streams (allows saving of internet radio URLs, searching for stations via TuneIn or ShoutCast, station listings from; Digitally Imported (+Sky, JazzRadio, RockRadio), TuneIn, IceCast, ShoutCast, SomaFM, etc.) and Online services (Jamendo, Magnatune, SoundCloud, and Podcasts)
5. Devices - enables copying from/to USB-Mass-Storage (UMS) and MTP devices, and ripping AudioCDs
6. Search - search via MPD
The sidebar has a context menu, allowing you to control its style and what items are shown.
Refer to http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Client:Cantata, and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDrummond/cantata/master/README, for further information.

I'm having difficulties building 1.1.1 This is where it goes wrong:
Quote:Scanning dependencies of target translations
/home/steve/Builds/CCR/cantata/src/cantata-1.1.1/po/es.po:3038: duplicate message definition...
/home/steve/Builds/CCR/cantata/src/cantata-1.1.1/po/es.po:3003: ...this is the location of the first definition
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
make[2]: *** [translations] Error 1
make[1]: *** [po/CMakeFiles/translations.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Thanks a lot for Cantata!
Cheers,
Steve

I open port 6600, but what I do with Host(or local socket) and password field ?
password is my user password or root password ?
And Host ?
When I click on connect button I have this error message :
Connection to "Default" (localhost:6600) failed.

Alternatively, you can have Cantata start, and control, a per-user instance of MPD. This will only be accessible to Cantata, and to the current user. For this to function, you must also ensure that MPD is installed.

I want to know if there is some tutorial or manual about Cantata.
I have a problem with streams, I can not add them, Cantata shows:
Music folder not writeable.
And the config of mpd and the folders and files are in my home directory including music folder.
I don't know where search information.
Thanks.

Anyway, I'd suggest waiting for 1.1 - which I'll release probably next week. This has a *much* better interface for streams.

I think is the last version.
I resolved the problem. It was an option deactivated, the name is some like Store stream in folder music.

will it be possible to migrate the HTTP stream playback to QtMultimedia for the QT5 build as phonon is notavailable in QT5?
Thank you!
Report

Its not a feature I use, and it does not work very well with Phonon - hence disabled from builds by default.

However, you can edit Cantata's config file (as detailed in the ChangeLog (item 99)), and this will turn off the monochrome icons the next time cantata is started.
