What is DeaDBeeF?

DeaDBeeF (as in 0xDEADBEEF) is a modular cross-platform audio player
which runs on GNU/Linux distributions, macOS, Windows, *BSD,
OpenSolaris, and other UNIX-like systems.

DeaDBeeF plays a variety of audio formats, converts between them,
lets you customize the UI in almost any way you want, and use many
additional plugins which can extend it even more.

tracks for you.

    conversion

  * Additionally, chapter information can be extracted and used from
    selected formats, such as m4b audiobooks, ogg files, etc.

DeaDBeeF is compact and efficient

    experience

  * Cocoa and CoreAudio on Mac

Direct approach to organizing your music

What about album art?

  * You can enable displaying Album Art (see the Help page in the
    player on how to do that)

  * The image files can be automatically downloaded from various web
    services

Network features!

Quickly convert your music to a format that you need

  * DeaDBeeF comes with advanced Converter plugin, which allows to
    transcode files to other formats
  * Especially useful for transferring music to mobile devices on
    most modern platforms
  * You can even preprocess the files before converting - for
    example, downsample to lower rate, or apply Equalizer.
  * Title formatting is available for naming the files
  * Folder structure may be preserved optionally
