CLUSTER MUSIC-PLAYER-FILES · 98 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-08-25
Desktop local music players
This cluster consists of desktop applications for playing and managing locally stored audio files, ranging from minimalist players to feature-rich jukeboxes with vintage aesthetics, MIDI support, and hi-fi DAC output. Entries appeared steadily from December 2011 through July 2026, with monthly counts mostly in single digits and occasional months with two or three entries, before a slight increase to three or four per month in 2025–2026. LumiField leads traction with 99 stars, far ahead of flac-cast (5 stars) and Groovium (3 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
