It is not a music player but lets you display the music you’re playing and control it. + +I’m not a fan of having a floating widget on my primary workspace, but Sunamu’s minimal yet elegant approach changed my mind! + +So, I will walk you through its features, installation, configuration tweaks, and my experience with it. + +### Sunamu: An Open-Source Music Controller + +![playing music with sunamu][1] + +As you can notice in the screenshot above, it looks like a pretty nice way to display the music being played, with the lyrics, while having the basic controls. + +You can play/pause, go to the next/previous track, shuffle, and enable a loop. + +Sunamu supports a wide range of audio platforms, including Spotify. It also detects music from your local collection, supporting some of the [best music players][2] available for Linux. + +Additionally, it supports Windows. So, if you are streaming something through the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows, it should work well. + +You can check the [compatibility list][3] on its GitHub page to learn more about the supported players and browsers. + +Fortunately, you do not have to be limited by what it offers by default. It provides an easy way to tweak the config file (learn more about it on its [GitHub page][4]). This makes it possible for newbies to tweak some settings and have fun. + +I’ll mention a few tips about it in the later section of this article. + +### Features of Sunamu + +![Sunamu on empty workspace][5] + +Sunamu comes with a set of promising features, and some of them are: + +* Detects and display the song that is currently playing. +* Fetch color schemes from the album art and use the same color palette for better visuals. +* Customizable through its config file. +* Integrates well with Discord. +* Consumes minimal system resources. + +### Install Sunamu on Linux + +![Disable lyrics in sunamu][6] + +It provides AppImage, deb, and rpm packages for easy installation across various Linux distributions. I used AppImage for testing, and it worked like a charm. + +You can also benefit from our guide on [how to use AppImage][7] or [install deb packages][8] and [rpm packages][9], if you are new to Linux. + +Interestingly, Sunamu is one of the few open-source music tools that provide direct support for ARM-based machines. + +Visit their [GitHub releases page][10] to download packages or build it from the source. + +**Let me show you a quick installation method** for a Debian-based distro via the terminal. Just follow the given instructions, and you’ll be good to go: + +First, let’s download the .deb package using wget command as follows: + +``` +wget https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/Sunamu/releases/download/v2.0.0/sunamu_2.0.0_amd64.deb +``` + +Once you are done downloading the package, use the given command for installation: + +``` +sudo dpkg -i sunamu_2.0.0_amd64.deb +``` + +![install sunamu in ubuntu][11] + +### Tip: Tweak the Configuration file + +By default, Sunamu won’t fetch colors from the album art but show the lyrics for each song. And like many others, I like to avoid reading lyrics. + +Config file of Sunamu is usually located at **~/.config/sunamu/config.json5**. + +To open the Sunamu config file, type the given command: + +``` +nano ~/.config/sunamu/config.json5 +``` + +Make changes in the electron section as given below (to enable colors and disable lyrics): + +``` +electron: { + type: 'electron', + widgetMode: true, + colors: true, + font: '', + theme: 'default', + showLyrics: false, + } +``` + +Here’s what the final config file should look like: + +![modify config file of sunamu][12] + +### Final Thoughts + +Unless you are someone who avoids electron-based apps, Sunamu is a good enough app to enhance your music experience on Linux. After, [Amberol][13], this is the second Music-related app I have liked recently. + +If you try it, don’t forget to share your experience in the comment section. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/sunamu-music-widget/ + +作者：[Sagar Sharma][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/sagar/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/playing-music-with-sunamu.png +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/best-music-players-linux/ +[3]: https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/Sunamu/blob/master/COMPATIBILITY.md +[4]: https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/Sunamu/blob/master/assets/config.json5 +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/song-with-no-lyrics-min.png +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/playing-music-with-sunamu-inclusing-lyrics-min1.png +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/install-deb-files-ubuntu/ +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/install-rpm-files-fedora/ +[10]: https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/Sunamu/releases/tag/v2.0.0 +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/install-sunamu-in-ubuntu.png +[12]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/modified-config-file-of-sunamu.png +[13]: https://itsfoss.com/amberol-music-player/
