Downloads

I use this version of cantata on my macbook, mac mini, Raspberry PIs and a Fedora laptop. I have also built a streamer, based on a Raspberry PI, with a LCD screen attached. I use Cantata on this raspberry PI to control Music playback on my Stereo Amplifier and a 7.1 AVR. On this raspberry PI, I use LIRC with an IR remote to control Cantata. You can download this version of cantata for Few of the Linux distributions (Debian, Fedora, Raspbian, Ubuntu) from open build service. I do have the same version built for MacOS (built on Sonoma), but not sure where and how to upload it to github. I do not have any windows machine and neither have much knowledge of windows. I haven't yet seen a better mpd client than Cantata and would hate to see it dead and hence I have decided to keep it alive as long as I can.
