It's yet another audio file player. My main

playing audio :-) ) is that it makes permanent connections to jack
instead of connecting / disconnecting when changing audio files.
My 4deckradio does exactly this, though I'm not sure it fits the bill,
since it's targeting radio DJs.
Not really my use case but thanks for the link, I have it running
here. How do you control the decks? mouse, key shortcuts, other?
You select a file and press play. You could also press F9 .. F12 to
start/stop the decks. Or you own a studio surface which sends joystick
button press/release events.
If you have a USB joystick, simply connect it. Press Button 1, and it
plays deck 1, release button 1, and it stops. Of course, you can also
press Buttons 1-4 simultaneously to have all four decks playing at the
same time. ;)
Selecting a new file while one is playing queues the new file. Press
stop or wait for the current one to finish to actually play it. (it's a
safety for radio stations, so they're not accidentally stopping the
current playback).
Same for stop: program only quits if you stop all four decks and then
press Ctrl+q. Well, the window-close button is a shortcut, but it
wouldn't be visible in fullscreen mode.
HTH
Thanks Adrian, may I suggest you copy paste this to your Readme.md file...
