This software is a compact audio player that has been built with Qt/Phonon technology. Its simple design saves on resources, making it ideal for running on low-spec computers.
Neformal is a music player that caters to users who don't require advanced features such as playlist and collection management. However, it does offer a helpful file manager and the ability to play media files individually. Additionally, Neformal allows bookmarking of favorite directories and can calculate RMS for 16-bit PCM WAVs.
Installing Neformal from the source is made easy with just a modern version of Qt 4. In the event that you encounter a sound issue, and the console shows "phonon_backend could not be loaded," it indicates that your distro's Qt was built without the Phonon backend. In such cases, use KDE's Phonon backend with this command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/phonon_backend.
