Quark is a music player software that uses Xine-lib and operates as a daemon. It plays music on systems where it is installed.
Because Quark makes use of Xine-lib, you'll be able to play music files in a wide variety of formats. However, if you're dealing with files that aren't named in UTF-8 encoding and contain non-ascii characters, you might run into some issues. Fortunately, there are a few ways to work around this. One option is to set environment variables that can help Quark recognize and load these files. You'll need to set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES variable to 0 to let Quark know that your filenames aren't in UTF-8 encoding, and the CHARSET variable to indicate the specific charset your files are using (such as ISO_8859-1).
Alternatively, you can always rename your files to use UTF-8 characters. Overall, Quark provides a good option for anyone looking for a music player with some solid functionality and helpful front-end interfaces.
