Sayonara Update to Version 0.9.1, Install on Ubuntu / Linux Mint via PPA
Sayonara is a small, clear and fast audio player for Linux written in C++, supported by the Qt framework. It uses Gstreamer as audio backend.
Although Sayoanra is considered as a lightweight player, it holds a lot of features to organize even big music collections.
Most of them are known from the bigger and well known audio players. But in contrast to most of the other players the main focus during developing has been performance, low CPU usage and low memory consumption.
So Sayonara is a good alternative to players like Rhythmbox, Clementine or Amarok. Those who miss Winamp for Linux should give Sayonara a try.
One of Sayonara's goals is intuitive and easy usablility. Currently it is only available for Linux.
