GNU EMMS is a powerful multimedia system for Emacs users, allowing them to play and manage various media formats, including music and videos.
I recently had the pleasure of testing GNU EMMS, the Emacs Multimedia System. This clean and small application allows users to effortlessly play multimedia files from Emacs using external players. While the majority of the ideas behind the software are derived from MpthreePlayer, GNU EMMS sets itself apart by being more general and cleaner.
One of the most impressive aspects of this software is that it is based on external players, which makes it an incredibly powerful tool. Users can play any format that those players support with no additional effort required. The list of supported formats is extensive, including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MPEG, WMV, MOV, AVI, OGM, and MKV, among others.
In addition to its impressive audio and video support, GNU EMMS offers tagging capability, possibly batching. The software also offers playlist management, as well as remote drivability via emacsclient. For example, users can create a playlist via rox-filer. Lastly, GNU EMMS is written in Emacs lisp which adds to its versatility.
In the most recent release, version 3, GNU EMMS comes with many new features. Downloading and using the software is easy, just visit the website and take advantage of the software's free and open-source license. Overall, I am impressed by the functionality and power of GNU EMMS and recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and convenient multimedia system.
