musikcube

musicalcube is a cross‑platform, terminal‑based audio engine written in C++. It provides a console interface for navigating a music library, playing tracks, and managing metadata, while also offering a streaming server that serves audio and metadata over WebSocket and HTTP. The application runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, and can be installed via package managers such as Homebrew, pkg, and Chocolatey, with binaries available on the releases page.

The software includes a remote‑control Android client and an extensible SDK consisting of pure‑virtual C++ classes for developers who wish to build custom front‑ends or integrations. Its streaming server operates on ports 7905 (WebSocket) and 7906 (HTTP) and supports basic password authentication, though it is intended for use within a trusted local network unless additional security measures are applied.

musicalcube’s design emphasizes a lightweight, keyboard‑driven workflow, with a comprehensive user guide covering navigation and shortcuts. It supports various audio decoders and output backends, and its source can be compiled directly following the provided build instructions.
