Ready to listen to some tunes? With MusicPod you can! 

The project resides under the purview of the [Ubuntu Flutter Community](https://github.com/ubuntu-flutter-community?ref=itsfoss.com) as an open-source **Flutter-based music player** that offers quite a few features.

Allow me to show you what MusicPod can do.

## MusicPod: Overview ⭐

MusicPod has a very similar look to the GTK theme of GNOME, but it is **not an actual GTK app**. 

It uses Flutter's '[yaru.dart](https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru.dart?ref=itsfoss.com)' design elements around its interface, with the [Dart](https://dart.dev/?ref=itsfoss.com) programming language as the building blocks, resulting in the aforementioned similarities.

**Putting the technical jargon aside, what can it do?**

Well, it lets you **play local audio files** from any directory on your system, with the added songs being arranged nicely in a scrollable track library list.

The track list can be sorted by criteria like; artist, album, track name, track number etc.

If that is too slow for you, then you can also **make use of the search bar to find the tracks** you are looking for.

That's not all, you can also 'like' songs to add them to a curated list of tracks called 'Liked Songs'; this way you don't have to always go around looking for that one track stuck in your mind.

MusicPod also lets you stream internet radio stations, currently it only has a few German web radio stations. But, I expect this list to increase in the future.

That's not all; it also lets you browse and play podcasts from around the world. With a 'Top 10 Charts' category allowing you to filter through countries and genres.

Overall, MusicPod seems like a promising project, with many features already there. **I hope they add a proper volume slider** to control the volume of audio playback like most music players out there.

It will be interesting to see how this racks up against [**Harmonoid**](https://itsfoss.com/harmonoid/), another music player that shares a similar Dart base as MusicPod.
