Whilst I loved the UI of Amarok, I needed to be logged into KDE for the music to play, but I wanted to leave my music playing and control it remotely. In fact, I was a member of the KDE core development team for a while. I used to be a KDE and Amarok user (loved Amarok 1.x, not so much 2.x). Is that about right? What made you decide to start doing this open-source music player project? Did it have something to do with your comment, "Cantata started off as a fork of the Qt MPD client (QtMPC)?"Ĭraig Drummond: I’ve been working on Cantata since 2011. Without further ado, let’s chat with Craig.Ĭhris Hermansen: Looking at the GitHub page for Cantata, and the Debian publishing history for Cantata, it appears you’ve been working on Cantata since before 2014. I was interested in learning more about Cantata, so I was grateful when Craig agreed to do this interview (which has been lightly edited for length and clarity). I first ran into Cantata while I was looking for a way to control these servers, and wow, it is one impressive piece of work. I have two small headless computers at home configured as music servers-one connected to our stereo in our living room, one in my upstairs office. Craig Drummond is the developer and maintainer of Cantata, an open source music player that acts as a frontend (client) to the Music Player Daemon (MPD) music server.
