Guayadeque is a free software audio player with database written in C++ using the WxWidgets toolkit. It uses GStreamer to manage the audio and SQLite for the music metadata database.[3]

History

Juan Ríos began development of Guayadeque in 2008 after finding that no other music players could efficiently store a large collection of audio files. The first public release was in March 11, 2009.

A Qt rewrite of the program was planned in 2019,[3] but on 29 September 2023, it was announced on the Guayadeque forums that development had ceased.[4]

A continuation project was founded in 2024 by Tiago T Barrionuevo, returning Guayadeque to active development.

In January 05, 2026, the project was migrated from GitHub to Codeberg in this repository.

Features

Guayadeque features a simple and customizable user interface with a large amount of fine-tuning options,[5] while being lightweight on system resources.[6]

It supports a wide variety of audio formats including OGG, FLAC, MP3, WAV, and it also has support for ALSA.

The program supports for last.fm, automatic cover art and lyric fetching, a smart playlist feature, VU meters, and the ability to label tracks and edit track tags using MusicBrainz.[6][7]
