Your music, handled with care.
A queue that never stops
Add, reorder and remove tracks while the music plays. Build the session as you go.
Every bit, as recorded

Light enough to forget

Your whole library, one queue away.
Browse by album, artist or genre, then pull anything into the queue. It lands at the end, and the music keeps going.
Browse the way you think.
Everything your library needs, and nothing it doesn't. Available in every Tornade edition.

Scan once, get the full picture
Point Tornade at your folders. It scans your files and fills in what's missing, tags, artwork and artist context, so your library looks complete from the first run.
Every folder read once, new files picked up on the next scan.
Missing covers fetched automatically and cached locally, or set your own.
Bios and background pulled from public sources, shown right in the app.
Your keyboard is the remote.
Every action has a shortcut. Browse, queue and play without touching the mouse.
Hardware media keys work too, in every Tornade app.
Also in your terminal. Free and open source.
The same Rust core, the same library, the same queue. In a terminal, on your home server or over SSH. Every view is one key away. No trial, no licence.
Tracks in this illustration are public-domain works. Your own library shows up here.
