Mellow Player – Cloud Music Integration for Your Desktop

Mellow Player is a Cross-Platform Qt Cloud Music desktop application with the main focus of working with web-based music streaming services to bring your favorite music selections to your desktop.

Being a Qt based alternative to NuvolaPlayer, specifically crafted for KaOS, Mellow Player features a minimal design inspired themeable User Interface with a nice feel.
