blanc

A sleek and simple music player

What is it

Blanc is a music player with a focus on being shiny. Which is why it might bring your PC to it’s knees while indexing your music.

Once it’s done and you start playing music: Hover over the album art for the play button. Click the arrow by the right for a beautiful no-chrome mode with a nice visualizer and shrunk controls.

It’s currently in development, so if anything breaks, please:

1. Go to one of these paths and remove Local Storage, Settings, Indexed DB. You may also remove the albumArts folder, or remove them one by one and start the app after each file/folder you remove.
   • On Linux: ~/.config/blanc
   • On Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\blanc (hit Win+R and type appdata then Enter.)
   • If it was during an upgrade, please remove albums.db, colors.db, library.db (if they exist) and restart the app.
2. Create an issue describing what happened when it broke and attach any log files in the folder above.
